About

Matto crafts an authentic Italian experience centered on the art of traditional pasta and artisanal pizza preparation. The kitchen utilizes high-quality flour and imported ingredients to construct complex flavor profiles across a diverse menu of regional specialties. Patrons observe an open environment where the mechanical precision of pizza ovens dictates the rhythmic flow of the kitchen. Every plate serves as a testament to classic preparation techniques, favoring bold textures and fresh seasonings over unnecessary ornamentation. The structural integrity of the handmade noodles provides a consistent backbone for rich, balanced sauces that define the culinary identity. This establishment maintains a rigorous focus on the fundamental pillars of Mediterranean cooking, ensuring that every served dish reflects a commitment to simplicity and technical mastery in every bite.

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.

Fantastic, fresh Italian with a fun, high energy atmosphere. We shared fried calamari appetizer. My husband had veal scallopine, which he loved. I had amazing papparadelle with mushrooms & white truffle oil. The pasta was paper thin & perfectly done. Good variety in the menu. Nice options on wine list. Good value. Portions were very generous, so sadly we could not fit in dessert. Our server Mary Soleil was very efficient & friendly, even offering suggestions for the music festival in town at this moment. The manager was attentive & all staff seemed very on point. Very nice dinne

This was our fourth visit to Matto. The restaurant was as good post Covid as it was pre Covid, we'll make sure to dine here on future visits to Quebec City. An attentive staff & great food.

Merci à notre serveur Samson qui nous a été super agréable & courtois tout au long de notre souper de fête! Quel plaisir de manger avec des gens qui aiment leur travail! Compliment au chef, c'était un délice: agnoletti, escalopes de veau, calmar frits & que dire des desserts! Grand merci à tous!

Nous avons apprécié la nourriture,de plus on a eu une excellente serveuse,efficace & qui nous a conseillé un très bon vin du Piedmont.
Par contre,les tables étaient très tassées & le niveau sonore désagréable.Mais le pire point qui fait que l'on a quitté rapidement était la température. Notre table était à côté d'un mur où se trouvait le thermostat. Il indiquait 28 degrés!!! On étouffait,& étions en sueurs.
La serveuse nous a dit qu'une couple de semaines plus tôt,l'air climatisé avait fait défaut. De toute évidence celle-ci ne fonctionnait toujours pas mieux.C'est inacceptable...
