    Wines and appetizers were excellent. Bucatini carbonara and cacio de Pepe were too salty

    Open concept but not too noisy. Food was good - arugula salad. bruschetta, spaghetti pomodoro, linguine with white clam sauce, and gnocchi with pesto. Caught the end of the Friday night dinner service and did not see the waitstaff as often as we should have (waited a while to get our water filled, etc.). Overall a pleasant experience.

    Overall, this was very good. However, it took an hour to get our food. Our waitress was good but the hour wait for our food was not good. We didn’t expect fast food service but….. The musician on tuesday was talented but loud so it was hard to converse. He had a great voice…for a concert! I would go again, though.

    Lost count on how many times I've eat at San Matteo and each time with a small and large group. It never disappoints! The feeling is warm from the moment you step foot in the door. The food is delicious. Italian style done the right way.....and believe you can't fool me being I was born in Italy and grew up very Italian. So happy they made the decision to be so close to me and I get to enjoy good friends while enjoying good Italian food. Cheers to Giuseppe and Eleonora for this spectacular restaurant. If you haven't yet eaten here yet, please go. Buon appetito!!!!

    Had a great dining experience. The service (Natalie) was enthusiastic, helpful, and knowledgeable. Calamari app was tender and tasty, bruschetta was delicious. Everyone’s meal was very good and plentiful. Personally, I recommend the Pollo San Matteo and the next time I go I’ll try the pizza, maybe as an app, because it looked really good.
