I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable, especially for what is supposed to be a high end Italian restaurant.
We were celebrating a birthday when our broccoli rabe appetizer arrived with a cockroach in it. That alone is horrifying, but what followed made it worse. After notifying staff immediately, it took approximately 45 minutes before a manager finally came over to address the situation. During that time, there was no sense of urgency, reassurance, or professionalism from management.
When the manager finally arrived, instead of taking responsibility, they attempted to blame the incident on a delivery of broccoli rabe, as if that somehow excused serving a cockroach to a guest. The responsibility lies with the restaurant to ensure food safety before anything reaches a table.
They offered a round of drinks, but after an incident like that, everyone’s appetite was completely gone and the gesture felt pointless. To make matters worse, they only comped the appetizer and offered a 50 dollar gift card as compensation. For a situation involving a cockroach in the food, on a special occasion no less, this response was completely inadequate. The entire meal should have been taken care of without hesitation.
Between the sanitation issue, the excessive delay in management response, the deflection of blame, and the poor attempt at making things right, this was a deeply disappointing experience. A restaurant that presents itself as upscale should be held to a much higher standard. I will not be returning, and I would strongly caution others against choosing this place for any special occasion.

I’ve come to this restaurant three times. Each time was a different experience.
PROS:
short rib dishes
chicken scarpiello
Italian rainbow cake
Cons:
The drinks are usually not great. The service is inconsistent, we had one great waiter, it was a younger guy.
Main complaint:
We ordered take out and each dish was almost $30. No side salad, no bread, with a high pasta ratio.
To add, they placed my small piece of rainbow cake at the bottom of hot food. So it was hot & melted. The food wasn’t being kept warm either, it was sitting next to the hostess.
If you’re going to charge almost $30 a dish, do better!
Casa Nova down the street has amazing food & it includes a salad & fresh bread. Probably the last time I will support this business.

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed myself! Two of my friends and I came here to celebrate my friend. Camryn was our server and she was very nice, checked in on us frequently (not in an overbearing way), I actually gave her two options of apps I wanted I told her to surprise me! The food was good I really enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and the short rib risotto! I tried the filet tips I honestly wasn’t a big fan. The margarita was a little too sweet but overall it was a good experience and I would come back and try other options. The decor inside is really cute too!

The tastiness of the food has gone down here i’d visited this bar several times in the past and ordered my favorite which are the baby lamb chops. They use to be cooked with flavoring but no more they were tasteless. I also liked the Tuscan bean tapa you could really taste the garlic & flavor but This time around some beans were soft and some hard the arugula stem got in the way it was just to much in such a small dish and took over the taste of the dish. There’s also a $20 bottle of wine they are selling for $58 dollars a bottle but hey what do we expect from retail so its normal. The service was great! I think the seating by the bar side feels more like the wine theme and feels more inviting but to the right of the bar pass the seating that faces the bar, I think needs more colors of wines for the resturant to actually flow. Feels like 2 diffrent places.

Unfortunately I have to give 1 star after the way our visit ended. I dined tonight at Matto with two of my friends. This is usually our spot to get together at and catch up, and we’ve always enjoyed dining here. Tonight sealed the deal that we will never set foot in this place again. All was well until we were paying our bill and getting ready to leave. I happened to look over at the kitchen for no reason in particular, and immediately noticed a man with a grey baseball hat turned backwards talking to a male server in the pizza area, next to the paper towel holder. I noticed him because he was blowing his nose profusely. I thought to myself this really isn’t the place to be doing that, around food prep, etc. and I hoped to see him wash his hands! Well, he went on to twist the paper towel and shove it and twirl it up each nostril. He then wiped his nose, balled the paper towel up and tossed it, THEN PROCEEDED TO WALK BEHIND THE LINE AND START COOKING. I couldn’t believe what I witnessed. I wanted to vomit. Not to mention the server he was talking to while he did this said nothing and didn’t flinch as if absolute disgustingness in a kitchen didn’t just happen in front of him. I immediately asked for the manager, and told him what I saw. He apologized, but didn’t seem shocked or concerned. Maybe this is the norm? Didn’t even make any mention of how he would handle this. I watched for a few minutes after I spoke to him and he never said a word to the cook even though he was directly in front of him expediting plates. Absolutely unacceptable that this happened. Not only is it gross but on top of it, it’s that time of year where illness is going around and this is what your cooks do? Never again will we set foot in this place. If this is what’s happening in front of our eyes in an open kitchen setup, what’s happening behind our backs? NASTY.

Steak was ordered medium-rare; arrived charred on the outside, purple on the inside. Served with a mound of bland mashed potatoes and some asparagus. The asparagus was fine, at least. Meanwhile, the fettuccini “di mare” was a big plate of pasta with a few scallops the size of peanuts, a minuscule piece of lobster, and a couple shrimp. For some reason, the owners make the bizarre choice of playing really obnoxious club music at a volume juuuust too loud to ignore.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years, but my birthday experience was very disappointing. I ordered Fettuccine di Mare for takeout and clearly requested it prepared normally, with red sauce on the side. Instead, I received plain boiled pasta with seafood and sauce on the side, which was not what I ordered.
When I called to explain, I was told it was a “miscommunication” and asked to return for a remake. When I arrived, I waited about 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Several staff members were present, yet no one spoke to me, and the overall attitude felt hostile and dismissive. At that point, I felt uncomfortable and honestly afraid to eat the food that was handed to me.
I’m sharing this because I truly liked this restaurant, but this experience—especially on my birthday—was upsetting and unacceptable.

Excellent food, good portions. The lobster guacamole was really fresh and yummy. Everything was prepared to perfection. Great lunch.

The food here was impeccable. The lamb chops were rich in flavor, seasoned well and cooked just right. The meat was practically falling off the bone. The Brussel sprouts were perfectly crispy with just enough honey on that it wasn’t overly sweet. We also tired and enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese appetizer and more. Alejandra provided wonderful customer service and recommended delicious options. The cocktail was deliciously made. I enjoyed the restaurant atmosphere with the beautiful decor, seating and large plants. Overall a wonderful restaurant that I recommend to anyone searching for exceptional dishes. I can’t wait to return to Matto Wine Bar in the future.
