Patrons observe an open environment where the mechanical precision of pizza ovens dictates the rhythmic flow of the kitchen.

Review Summary

Matto offers a vibrant and authentic Italian dining experience in Quebec City, widely praised for its flavorful pastas, fresh seafood, and signature meat dishes like veal and beef cheek. While many guests rave about the warm atmosphere and the exceptional, attentive service provided by the professional staff, some visitors note that the restaurant can become quite busy and noisy, leading to tight seating arrangements. Although the vast majority of experiences are highly positive, with many diners considering it a must-visit destination, a small number of reviews mention inconsistencies with dish preparation or speed of service during peak hours.

We had another delicious dinner at Il Matto. As usual, the place was bustling & the food was great. Our food was delicious & the people who served us were very friendly & attentive. My only negative comment was that the actual waiter who took our order did not seem to be very friendly. The food & atmosphere otherwise were great.

Accueil du personnel excellent, service de qualité, nourriture excellente. Tout était très bien, un seul bémol, quand on prends ce genre de resto où l'on veut prendre notre temps pour déguster, les chaises ne sont pas vraiment confortables.

We made reservations before our 2 day getaway to old Quebec, at Matto restaurant. We dined at 2 other restaurants but we saved Matto's for last. & once again, we were treated like royalty & we enjoyed an exquisitely prepared meal to rival any fine dining establishment!!! 5 stars is an under-rating! Although the entire staff was great, I'd like to mention our waiter, Jerome, who was amazing & went out of his way to serve us like royalty!!!
