Simply put... the best ristorante Italiano in Salt Lake! No, the best restaurant in Salt Lake. The food is incredible (pastas and breads made onsite by Matteo's Italian family), but beyond that, the service is unpretentious, welcoming, and most gracious. Matteo and his staff make you feel like you are dining in Italia.
Located downtown SLC, this restaurant is an easy walk from any of the 6 major hotels.

Good Italian food in Salt Lake has traditionally been lacking, but Matteo is arguably one of the best options. We have eaten there three times now and have never been disappointed. Good cocktails, and a great wine list as well. Be sure to try different appetizers (the whipped Brie is off the charts!). Pasta entrees will be wonderful as well (while they have steak/fish, we haven't tried anything besides pasta). I'm not sure we have ever had dessert, but I assume it would be great. The Brunch menu looks great but we still haven't experienced it. In general, Matteo is great for special occasions, as the atmosphere is comfortable (try to sit outside if you can).

This restaurant is a delightful surprise. Authentic italian food cooked properly. All of the appetizers that we had were excellent and the main dishes were done to perfection. For appetizers, the antipasto, burrata, the meat balls and sausage appetizer were all well prepared.
The bolognese pasta and the mushroom raviolei were fantastic. We had the chicken dish as well as the veal chop milanese (special). They were delicious!
The wine list is extensive. Matteo is constantly in the front of the house and ensures that both the food and the service are at the level you should expect and more! His suggestions are on point and his knowledge of the food and wine pairings are on point.

Beware of hidden prices for specials. The food was good. However, we will not return.
When the bill came, we were unpleasantly surprised by the charge for a special that was priced two to three times as much as the regular main courses on the menu. Our waiter did not mention the price at any time. Being presented with a $95 charge for one person’s Secondi felt intentionally deceptive.

Again, a great experience. Went for my birthday and the service and food were perfect for us. The only little hiccup was server forgot after dinner expresso for one at the table, but they were packed and it was not a big deal as we were busy enjoying our desert. This is my second time there and cannot wait to go back.

Our annual Christmas Eve with friends . Loved the service. Loved the ambience. Loved the company. Was a little disappointed in the quantity of our meal for the price. The quality of the food was excellent though. We will be back.

This is one of the top meals I’ve had in SLC. Great choices on the menu. Nice selection of specials too. Lively ambiance. Good bar with a very good wine selection and knowledgeable sommelier. Very good service. Prices though were high. I’ll definitely go back though.
