    My mom and I shared the Caesar salad and pasta with vodka sauce. The salad was so good and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Our waiter Max was very kind and helpful. We also each ordered glasses of the Chianti and I was pleasantly surprised for the size of the pour compared to other restaurants we have been to in town.

    Lovely yet aspects uninspiring. I ordered a Brunello Di Montalcino - overpriced for a mediocre version. It was … fine. A less than spectacular 2018 Brunello that American distributors parse out. Seeing the Caesar salad featured anchovies, I ordered it. It was a disappointment for an Italian restaurant with a Brunello o. It’s wine list. The romaine was chopped small and drowned in bland/blah dressing. They anchovies did add some zip but otherwise the luscious tangy experience I was expecting was instead a roadhouse version of a Caesar salad with equally bland, though crispy, croutons. There was also enough to serve 5 people. I also ordered a medium rare fillet. It was cooked appropriately if a bit on the medium side. It was presented beautifully on a bed of sautéed spinach and a scatter of micro greens and shaved Parmesan. This was tasty and unctuous. If the salad and Brunello had matched this entree in excellence, I would have raved. So a miss twice and a hit once. I might return and try the ciopino. I won’t venture the mundane Caesar again.

    We enjoyed our first visit to Matteo. The service was outstanding. My favorite was my Affogato (not on the menu - but made it for me). Had the Pork Chop special - very good.

    This is a great restaurant with good prices. My only suggestion would be that if they charge for bread it should be better. Our bread was a little stale

    We were mildly disappointed. Not that the food wasn't good. It was. But it was not excellent. Reading the reviews I guess we expected more. For the prices we expected something over the top.
