We had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious.
We especially appreciated how attentive & helpful our server Samuel was. We didn't speak French, & he patiently explained everything to us. When we were feeling cold, he kindly brought us a blanket. He also recommended a lovely Italian wine, which was especially helpful. He also took the time to explain all the vegetarian options for my cousin & what he could enjoy.
The food, service, & hospitality made our visit truly special. We would definitely come back!
An absolute must-visit in beautiful Old Québec! This Italian spot pairs an inviting ambiance with a diverse menu. The food is exquisite & the staff incredibly friendly, professional, & exceptional at guiding you through their food & wine selections.
Great wine, amazing lasagna, but check the ingredients! Matto boasts a stellar wine selection & a vibrant atmosphere. Vegetarian warning: the Minestrone soup contains pork. Luckily, the Lasagna is an elite backup choice-the tomato sauce is incredibly rich & flavorful, making a perfect pairing with the complimentary bread. The Crab Rolls were also a massive hit for my husband. Highly recommend for the pasta & wine pairings!
I'm not sure how this place is so highly rated. The three dishes we had; mushroom pasta, risotto, & lasagna were below average. The first batch of bread we were served was cold & stale. Most concerning, the wine by the bottle is terribly expensive & of very low quality. The markup to these is unreasonable. There were no less than three bottles on the menu for $90 -$95 that were very poor grade & can be found for about $20 at a store. Service was prompt & very friendly.
My partner treated me to date here on our last night in Quebec City, & what a treat it was! The service was amazing, especially from our waiter David. He didn't even blink at the fact I don't speak French well enough for a conversation, & engaged my partner in the art of Franglaise. Always around when we so much as thought of him, David was attentive & always had a smile on. He also recommended a lovely wine that I regret not getting the name of.
We didn't wait long at all for our food, which was surprising given how busy it was! My partner got the eggplant Parmesan that looked lovely, albeit a bit small in portion compared to my spaghetti & meatballs. Both dishes were equally delicious though, as were our desserts of tiramisu & Italian chocolate ice cream.
Food was good, the pizza was good, but lacking salt. Got short changed on my wine because they poured the last of the bottle & did bother to top me up. Bread was promised not delivered. Overall chaotic & needlessly slow.
We arrived on time for our 6pm reservation which has a time limit of 2h. We finally were able to order our wine after 20min. It took 80 min to get our appetizer & shortly after our main course came & the plate which included clams which were dry & tasteless. Management appeared to ignored a large boisterous group that spoiled the atmosphere. We felt rush despite the delay in receiving our meals when manager started to set up for the next seating.
We loved our meal & our server was friendly & helpful. She was also excellent with the wine recommendations
Main course prices were also reasonable. Cesser salad was superb & they had gluten free pasta options which I had. It was delicious
Our only small issue was took awhile to get food but it was a busy evening. I have no hesitation to recommend Matto
