    It was such a beautiful atmosphere. The service was next level and the food was gorgeously presented and tasted out of this world. Definitely will return for every special occasion.

    Fantastic food and great service. The whole vibe at Matteo is super cool. We had a great evening, and the place was full all night.

    The food was mediocre at best. Nothing really stood out as exceptional except for the constant upselling. We bought our own very expensive bottle of wine , but the serve tried to sell us a more expensive bottle from the restaurant. Everything was a potential to upsell , ruined our experience. Lastly, we asked for Sambuca with our espresso. and they didn’t have any. And you call yourself an Italian restaurant??

    Amazing food and service! A little louder than my husband and I had hoped for since it was our date and hoped to have some quieter conversations! Excited for the new location

    This is a quaint little restaurant with authentic Italian food made by "Mamma" herself. Our waiter was genuinely friendly and helpful; and felt like a long-lost friend by the end of the evening. Get the bread basket. The focaccia melted on our tongues even without the delicious butter. And don't miss the whipped brie. Who knew you could whip brie??? We've already made another reservation to go back.

    Great food and a solid wine list. Could use a little better selection of red wines by the glass. Very loud but food was amazing.

    Delicious food and great service! The restaurant was warm and inviting; despite being very busy, it wasn’t too loud. We will definitely be back soon.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in SLC. We don’t come as often as we’d like, but we’ve never experienced a less than perfect meal each time we’ve gone. The staff has a warm collegial attitude and takes superior care of guests. And the food is by far the best Italian in the state. The risotto with aged family balsamic is my favorite, and the whipped brie is to die for!
