This little pizzeria serves Neapolitan-style pies straight from the wood-burning oven.

Lovely environment for Monday lunch. Lots of seating, yummy appetizers. The food was delicious. It was pretty hot temperature wise when we came in and sat indoors and they turned on the air and that helped a lot! The server Laura was very sweet and the bartender was making very nice drinks!

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that made us feel instantly welcome. The ambiance was the perfect balance of cozy and upscale — soft lighting, tasteful décor, and a lively but comfortable atmosphere.
The food was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. The appetizers were creative and perfectly portioned, the entrées were cooked to perfection, and the desserts were pure indulgence. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in every plate that leaves the pass.
Service was equally impressive — attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza in the Neapolitan style, San Matteo is the place for you. This was my return visit, and as always, I was not disappointed. I also appreciated the happy hour deal—Aperol for only $10. Additionally, the staff are friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving genuine Italian flavors!

We always passed this restaurant on our way home and it was always full so we had to taste it. We went without reservation but in an odd hour so it wasn’t packed and we had a great experience. Services was super friendly and gave us really good recommendations. We had the melanzane as a starter, then we had pasta genovese and prosciutto pizza. Best prosciutto we’ve had in a while and the pizza dough was fluffy and great. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was really good, the melanzane was also delicious. We had some wine and a tiramisu for dessert and everything was great. Thanks for all and we’ve probably be back to taste some some pizzas.

This location has now moved over just one street. It’s a much bigger spot and they’ve created an awesome vibe at this new place.
Food: The food is amazing! Just as amazing as it was at it’s previous location. The sauce is here is perfect, few places can actually get it right in the city. It’s tangy and has the right combination of flavors and seasoning. The brick oven crust enhances the flavors of the sauce. I’ve only had the pizzas here but all the other dishes looked really good coming out of the oven.
Prices: Prices are reasonable here especially considering the portion size.
Service: Everyone was very friendly and super happy to help. They answered all of our questions and accommodated our different dietary needs. Despite being a very busy night, we never felt rushed by the restaurant.
Ambiance: This new location is so nice! It feels like a fancy yet local place and I like that they were able to maintain that charm.

Yum!! Delicious pizza especially for the area and great eggplant and aperol spritz. Beautiful atmosphere and reasonably priced. Margherita Regina pizza pictured below.

The “new” San Matteo, relocated to 1716 2nd Ave, does most things right. The service is on top of everything and the staff seem to be in a good mood. The food is very good and the portions generous. It’s not cheap and prices are roughly in line with most Italian restaurants in the area. However, the atmosphere is meh. It should have more charm, more coziness. The renovation looks done a bit cheaply and the room is part rustic, part modern – like a diner trying to be a restaurant.

Amazing food, drinks, and service. Came for a happy hour on Tuesday and left with a full stomach and a happy heart. The bartender and owner are so sweet, they made my best friend a special sandwich that wasn’t on their dinner menu!
Started off with the $12 well drinks (I got a gin and tonic), and my friend got an Aperol Spritz. Both were AMAZING, we got the slider appetizers, the Viva Las Vegas sandwich, and I got the scampi linguini 😛
The food was freaking amazing. I can’t wait to come back! (Also try their bubble dance drink!!)
