   Staff were attentive and professional. The food was mediocre: chicken Marsala prepared with canned mushrooms! The Caesar salad dressing was tasty and not too heavy, but for some reason, like in many other restaurants, there was a lot of white (stem) of the lettuce, much of it browning around the edges, rather than green leafy romaine lettuce. The interior of the restaurant was extremely busy (Friday night evening around 8:00), so quite noisy. The staff was happy to accommodate our reservation request for outdoor seating (we had to wait a few minutes), which wasn’t as loud.

   Food was great, staff very friendly and accommodating to our toddler. Timely service as well. Gorgeous night to sit outside and they put shades down so the sun wasn’t in our eyes.

   If you like Italian food this is the place to eat in Fort Lauderdale area, athentic Italian cuisine at a very affordable price, hands down highly recommended.

   Busy spot for traditional Italian dishes. Huge menu. Service was prompt and adequate with no pretenses of personal input or personal customer service. Food was tasty and came hot and delicious. Portions are large. The room was very loud. Almost beyond reasonable conversation. Then some live music added to the high volume. Cocktail service was disappointing. The bar uses tiny little glasses. Not sure how many ounces, but not many. Drinks lacked adequate Ice, but with those tiny glasses it made sense. My manhattan was mostly vermouth, but the Gin and Tonic was fine. $15 for those tiny glasses makes me wish we would have had the wine. Nice big wine list is offered.

   I ordered Chicken parm which was excellent. The portions were big enough to share.

   We loved eating at Matteo’s and we make sure we go twice when we are here in Florida in the winter months. Food and service is always great and never rushed.

   Our server was very pleasant but overall the food was just Ok. My Nana’s Ragu was basically spaghetti with meatballs and sausage with about a pound of pasta to make it look like a lot for the money. I get it, everything is expensive but this just did not justify the price. Will not be back

    La comida es excelente , el ambiente muy bueno , tiene un defecto con el nivel de ruido de la Música … hay momentos que es demasiado elevado , y no hablo del show en Vivo que es muy divertido , si no de la música del salón que manejan desde la Recepción . Pero realmente vale la pena ir ….
