For sure a restaurant to visit! The Caesar salad was excellent. The richness of the anchovies completely escalated the salad and is an excellent touch. The Bolognese was just okay. The noodles were great, but the sauce felt more like a meat sauce than it did a rich Bolognese. Would suggest going with a secondary option if you're torn between two items. The heart-shaped cheesecake was excellent. The size was perfect too. It was creamy and the raspberry center helped to balance the sweetness. Will be ordering the ceases and cheesecake again. The atmosphere of this restaurant is beautiful. Great bar, small lounge area and the back room has a door for possibly large party accommodation. Outdoor space looks nice and like it will come to life when the weather permits. Serve was very nice and offered great recommendations. Aside from the server the remaining staff (food runner, host, busser) were very stiff and bit too formal for the environment. Not rude just not very "welcoming".

-Great service! Craig, our waiter was amazing. So helpful and gave us great recommendations -Huge selection of wine, we got a bottle of Nebbiolo that I absolutely loved -Recommend getting a reservation, it filled up fast -Burrata with prosciutto for an app is a must. Want to try the Caesar salad next time we go -We got a pasta and a protein to share and it was perfect for 2 people. We got the Amatriciana and Filetto -Dessert was amazing. Loved the artwork and it was melt in your mouth delicious Highly recommend for a special dinner!!

The food here is excellent. Everything tasted homemade, authentic, and well-executed. The bread and butter is to die for. I loved the pasta dishes, namely the Amatriciana and the Paccheri Alla Vodka. The Aragosta pasta was good, but wouldn't order again. The flavor combination of the sauce with the lobster and the herbs just felt slightly off. My wife and I split a caesar salad, and we were very pleased with the size and freshness. The dressing was too mild and creamy for a caesar. It needed more umami and acid, but I still enjoyed it. I tried my brother's ribeye and I think it was one of the best ribeye's I've had, especially for $48. He ordered it medium rare and it came out medium, but it didn't bother him or me. The service was good, but was missing a personal touch from our waiter. Lastly, the ambiance is very inviting and perfect for a date or evening out with family and friends. Overall, I enjoyed Matteo and would certainly plan a return visit for some of the better Italian food in SLC. A couple small improvements will earn them a five star review in the future.

All the food was delicious--my fiancé and I ate every last bite. We got bread, a caesar salad, bolognese, cacio e pepe, and lemon sorbet. The drink menu provided many options-- we went with an aperol spritz, rosy spritz, and espresso martini. Couldn't go wrong with any of them! It's a lovely, sophisticated atmosphere with helpful and kind staff. Can't wait to go back!

Truly is a gluten free heaven! They have gluten free bread rolls and gluten free pasta option (pasta imported from Italy). I was very impress was with both and the sauces were delicious. The seafood pasta was my favorite! The whipped Brie is a must try appetizer, perfect balance of sweet and salty. The service was amazing and the food comes quickly. They even gave us a GF dessert on the house for our anniversary. Will be back!

Staying at the Hilton next door. Made a choice between Ruth's and here. So glad I gave Matteo a try. Incredible ! Great ambience. Sat at the bar and it was dinner and a show! Capriccio to die for. Pasta specials with black truffle amazing. Filet was perfect. Signature cheesecake was good. I would get the tiramisu next time.

Friggin d e m i c i o u s! The staff here are amazing with recommendations, and they thought I was funny, which obviously means they're smart. The place has a fancier vibe but, despite being a couple of degenerates, we still felt totally comfortable and at ease. We had the whipped brie, aglio e olio, brasato, and of course, the panna cotta. Plus, some cocktails--one was a rose spritz, and there was another one I can't remember the name of, but all of it was great. Next time, I'd probably skip the brie, even though it was decent, it was more of a one-time try. The aglio e olio was awesome, but I'd be curious to try other pastas next time, though the brasato was unforgettable. So good!

Very classy date night at Matteo's!! We'd never been before, but came highly recommended from our friends! I had a lovely glass of Pinot Noir and my husband and I shared the burrata appetizer, delicious! Zucchini was cooked perfectly and it was fun to try something different! My husband got the pesto pasta and I got the paccheri alla vodka sauce with gluten free pasta, delicious!! Portions were a perfect size, sometimes dining out can be overwhelming!! I splurged and got dessert: espresso martini and tiramisu! Perfect ending to the meal!! Service was great! Plenty of staff!! Gluten free pasta was probably the best I've ever had!! Will definitely come back and try something other dishes. Yum!!

Already planning my trip back here. This place is absolutely phenomenal. From the decor/vibe, to the service, to the food. Every little detail in Matteo is so intentional. A reservation is a must on the weekends. We got there right when they opened without a reservation and luckily they were able to squeeze us in because we were only doing apps/drinks. We started with their fresh bread of course and it was delicious. Freshly made every day. I got their Rosie spritz - amazing. We split their whipped Brie, which was topped with walnuts and dried cherries I believe. Phenomenal. We split their gnocchi and it was the most melt in your mouth, pillowy, delicious gnocchi. The sauce was amazing. The service was incredible, we felt so taken care of and Matteo himself even stopped by our table to check on us. Can't wait to come back here - what a phenomenal experience.
