Pasta had amazing texture and great flavors (usually I find pastas under flavored). Our group favorite was pappardelle, lamb cheek was so soft and had hint of sweetness. Tiramisu also one of the best (tho thicker texture than normal). While brussel sprouts and milk bread had good flavor, the texture was a bit hard and didn’t feel worth the price
We grabbed seats at the chef’s counter (highly recommended), where watching the team work was almost as enjoyable as the food itself. Not a single miss on the table. We started with the arancini—crisp, golden, and paired with an incredible peppery-sweet sauce that we couldn’t stop dipping into. The Brussels sprouts were right there with it—charred just enough and punched up by a maple chili glaze.
Now, the pastas. I went with the lumache, and honestly, I’d go back tomorrow just for that. It was perfectly cooked, with rich tomato flavor, a creamy burrata topping that brought a gorgeous temp contrast, and breadcrumbs that gave each bite a perfect crunch. It’s the kind of simple, elegant dish that doesn’t need any tricks to impress. My wife had the tagliatelle with mushrooms, and she was equally floored. She swore she wouldn’t order anything else next time—though I’m eager to explore more of the menu.
Service was genuinely lovely—warm, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. Every recommendation hit, and the pacing was just right.
All in all, Mattina brings thoughtful food, skilled execution, and great energy at a price point that feels more than fair. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. We’ll absolutely be back.
Took the Little Lady here for a weekday dinner and it was decidedly up to snuff. The flavorful meatballs, presented with plenty of crusty bread, was the highlight of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed the ambiance but the music could have been a bit louder. Being seated in front of the open kitchen added a bit of spectacle to the experience. Service was warm, friendly and only slightly intrusive.
In regards to value: prepare your wallet for a wallop. Four small dishes and a Diet Coke set me back over a hundred big ones.
