Food: Unremarkable taste, costly price

Matteo's has dishes that are evidently a noteworthy mention when we talk of the Calamari Fritti's tender and lightly battered rings and Veal Milanese's perfect pan-frying. Salmon too, has been said to be a mouth-melting treat. However, portions seem to be a concern leaving a hunger room after the meal, making things worse with a high price tag. Variety and taste are other areas where Matteo's receives a thumbs down, with instances of hit or miss service and food that can be bland or chewy.

  • Great Quality

    Fresh ingredients, homemade dressings, and thoughtfully selected pairings highlighted.

  • Okay Taste

    Some reviews say food is good but service or portions lack.

  • Small Portions

    Portions not big enough, leaving room for hunger after meal.

Vibe: Romantic yet unpopular

Featuring a beautiful blend of cozy, romantic and stylish ambiance, Matteo's makes for an intimate, elegant experience that is perfect for date nights. Further complimented by an extensive wine list, the ambiance is undeniably alluring. However, surprisingly, it turns into a ghost town after 9 PM, making it seem somewhat unpopular and disused.

  • Great For Dates

    Intimate, romantic settings with privacy ideal for date nights repeatedly praised.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Great music was short lived; changes in staff affected quality negatively.

Perks: Appreciable serenity, poor accessibility

Parking at Matteo's can be challenging, and reservations seem to have been a past issue indicating poor accessibility. However, it shines in terms of a tranquil atmosphere and accommodates large parties well with an alluring outdoor patio. Visited service is a mixed bag, and the diet menu specifically for gluten-free options seems disappointing.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large parties well with flexible spaces and attentive service.

  • Okay Service

    Varied experiences, some extremely positive, others disappointing service-wise.

  • Bad For Diets

    Only one gluten free option, mushy pasta, no grilled alternatives.
