will start off by saying that I wish that I can give more than 5 stars. This restaurant is conveniently located at crossbay blvd. An amazing area and near transportation.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the valet and walked into a very warm welcome by the staff. They were very hospitable and accommodating. I loved Anthony Amoroso who made me and my guests feel like family. My servers Louis and Frankie were nothing short of amazing. There is excellent customer service all around.

Here are some highlights :
Restrooms- clean, nice decor, smells amazing
Restaurant- nice ambiance, well lit, romantic setting, clean, comfortable, and classy
Food & Desserts- no words. Chefs kiss
Atmosphere – family- like, respectful

My group of 9 enjoyed our celebration. The staff went above and beyond. Yes the price is slightly elevated but if you see white linen tablecloths you know what to expect. Was worth every dollar.

Please note they have accessible bathrooms available. I cannot wait to go back.

The staff are courteous and attentive.

Their food is fresh, tasty, right-portioned & tender. My Chicken DJ is unique in its menu. The two pieces of chicken breast were served on a bed of spinach. My husband’s chicken with tomatoes, mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette was also served differently. He enjoyed his meal although the chicken breast pieces were not as big as those on my dish.

White table cloths –

Dim lights – Cozy but too dark to read the menu even with the mini lamps on the table.

Street parking spots are few but I understand that use of the Capital One Bank parking lot is allowed.

Amazing food and incredible service. Our server tonight Sean was excellent, attentive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk with. His recommendations were perfect. Definitely will be back and will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

One of my favourite, if not the best, Italian restaurants in New York. I always visit when I am in town, and it always delivers. Chicken Parm is a must! Service is always good. Great ambience, feels like a local but very welcoming. Top marks!

Spent my Father’s Day with my family at Matteo’s of Howard beach. What a classic to go to a family style Italian restraunt with the people you love. We enjoyed our meal together lots of pastas, cheese, seafood, and wine of course. The waiter was helping us cut our food and served it on our plate too. The place is decorated very elegantly yet still has a cozy feeling as well. Overall lovely, delicious and great time.

Good morning. My family and I dined at your restaurant last night, and while the food was excellent, the service from our waiter, Sean, left us very disappointed. From the start, he was dismissive and condescending whenever we asked simple questions about the menu. His tone made us uncomfortable, to the point where we hesitated to ask for items that were missing, such as an extra cup or a drink that never arrived.

I understand it was a busy holiday evening, but at no point were we disrespectful or demanding. Despite that, Sean did not return to check on us once after our food came out. This led me to reach out to the manager on the second floor to request a different server, as we were celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday along with Thanksgiving, and the experience was being overshadowed by his behavior.

Once Jimmy took over, the atmosphere at our table changed immediately. He was kind, attentive, and made my mother feel truly celebrated, even though he was clearly handling a heavy workload himself. His professionalism stood out, and we appreciated him greatly.

It is disappointing that a restaurant as reputable as yours employs staff who speak to patrons in such a condescending manner. Because of this experience, I do not see myself returning, despite how much we enjoyed the food. I hope steps are taken to address service issues like this so future guests do not have their celebrations diminished.

Nice place to eat a family style Italian dinner. It is a old restaurant that needs some updating. It has parking.

This review is long overdue but here it is, anyway. I came here for lunch years ago to celebrate my son’s graduation with his friend. The experience started off OK with the host sitting us at a table and the server took our orders shortly after. Our food was good and our server was attentive and pleasant until two white men arrived and were seated a few tables away from ours. Our server had to serve them, too, and he instantly became more attentive to the men and started giving me a bad attitude which made me want to leave and not return. All customers should be treated courteously regardless of age and ethnicity. Do better, Matteo’s.

We went with a larger party so we were seated in the room downstairs. The room was great, spacious, quiet and enjoyable. Coming from a restaurant background I understand a busy night but it felt like we were forgotten, everything took a while. Other than that food was excellent, room was great. Definitely go back but probably request to be upstairs.

For 20 years I’ve been dining this restaurant and the food tastes exactly the way it was years ago, excellent!!! Service is impeccable and the atmosphere is something out of an Italian mobster movie. Nothing but 5 stars here.
