Gatto Matto offers lively Italian dining with many diners praising delicious, well presented dishes and generous portions, and the staff is repeatedly praised for attentive, friendly service, while some experiences note very loud music and a noisy room design that makes conversation hard; service can be slower during peak hours and questions about prices and portions arise, but the overall vibe is welcoming, the atmosphere is vibrant, and many guests say they would return for the food and the hospitality.

I recently tried this restaurant for the first time, & honestly, I feel like it's a bit overhyped.The service was good-I have nothing negative to say on that front. The staff was attentive & professional. However, the restaurant itself was extremely cold, to the point where even the waitresses were wearing vests, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable. As for the food, it was hit or miss. I didn't enjoy my drink, & the portion sizes seem really inconsistent. My pasta bowl was surprisingly small-almost empty-while someone else's was very full, which didn't make much sense. It kind of took away from the overall experience.The menu is also quite limited, so there aren't a ton of options to choose from. From what I can tell, they seem to be more known for their pizza than anything else. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me.
Surberbe service de Laurence G. Super souriante, service impeccable!!
Merci pour une superbe soirée.
Note au patron: vos serveuses ne devraient pas faire leurs propres drinks, cela ralentit beaucoup le service.
Merci
Atmosphere was ok, drinks were good, but the food (I got the pasta with pesto thing) had absolutly no flavour, it was bland. The cheese thing on top was just watery & on top of that was something in the price range of 30$ way overpriced for something that tasted that it came off the microwave.
Then service, (we were a big group of 16 people), after waiting an absolute abnormal amount of time for the check, the waitress asked me how we should split the beers on my check, but i never ordered any beer, i had a glass of sangria from a pitcher that i already repaid my friend for, & the rest of my friend beer. So i just told the waitress'i already paid my friend for the sangria pitcher', thinking she wanted to split the pitcher on the check. But no, she then went to another friend & told him'Oh the guy in a yellow shirt (me) said to put all the beers on youre tab' which made no sense, & she tried to add beers that we did not even order on that tab also.
Anyway service was horrible, food was overpriced for something made in the microwave, but the music was good & the ambience good, I liked that music was not so loud so we could talk to our friend.
If you are going there for drinks, & make sure that theycount correctly your tab, it can be a great place, but avoid the kitchen there
Great atmosphere, great food & drinks. Everything was fresh. Would def go back. The only thing is pasta portions can be a tiny bit more. Everyone who took s pasta dish on our table said the same, pasta portion is small
Great atmosphere, great service, & really delicious food! We always end up here for drinks. Rita is amazing! Her energy - bubbly, warm, & so sweet every time.

Drink toujours incroyables
Poisson du jour très bien apprêté & délicieux
Sinon la salade d'endives est à couper le souffle .
Je ne me tanne jamais d'y alle
Beau décor, belle ambiance, cependant les drinks sont dilués & ne goutent pas l'alcool. De plus, steak du marché, est bon, mais très cher pour un plat qui ne vient avec aucun accompagnement mise à part des frites médiocres, changer de fournisseurs pour vos frites!
went to have dinner
The ambience was very nice, the service excellent she was very friendly.
We started with drink espresso martini & honestly I don't remember the name of the other drink but it was very good.
The sea food is fresh, we took as a appetizer fried calamari also salmon tartare I'm not tartare lover but I tried & was very good
Then for the main dish we took a pasta with calamari & tiger shrimp it was good but not that much also we took the pizza with n'duja was very good.
I will definitely come back!
Nous sommes venus souper, un samedi soir, sans réservation! C'était plein, ils ont quand même réussi à nous trouver une place! On a attendu un bon 20 minutes pour le premier verre d'eau & commande de drinks, mais c'est totalement compréhensible avec un resto plein qui a réussi à nous faire une place! Notre serveuse était tellement gentille & souriante, les drinks étaient délicieux, nos plats aussi, & wow le tiramisu! Même ma grand maman difficile a adoré. Nous serons de retour, c'est certain!
Had an amazing time ! I went at the opening around 4:30. We of course didn't wait long for our food & drinks. The staff was nice & attentive to our needs ❤️ The Burrata was a 10/10 !! My first time with warm bread & I think its my favorite now!! Also had the Bucatini Carbonara! It was good. A bit too oily & not creamy enough but a good 6.5/10! Drink: Rome Sour, a version of Amaretto Sour. 8/10. Definitely coming again❤️
Gatto Matto Boisbriand is amazing. I went for supper with my husband with a reservation booked ahead of time. It is definitely a crowded restaurant but to our surprise it is not very loud & disturbing compared to other restaurants. Food wise it was excellent! Nothing to complain about. The octopus & the sauce that was coming with it is definitely our favourite. The calamari sauce surprised us with its creamy light taste it was delicious. We ordered gluten free pasta & they were amazingly cooked. The ceasar salad was very good as well. The only improvement would definitely be the service offered by the waiters. The waitress we had did not provide us a great experience specially that it was our first time to gatto matto in Boisbriand. We gave our drink order then five minutes later our appetizer & main course order at the same time. We did specify to bring the appetizers first. We received our appetizers relatively quickly but the meal... We placed our order for the main course at 5:40pm & got our order at 6:35pm. The waitress comes & mentions to us at 6:30pm that the meal will be served in 5 minutes... we've been waiting for 50 minutes... at that point, our night got on the bad side. The waitress offered herself for us to speak to a manager. A manager came first & then a second one came. The second manager, Rita, there is no better word to describe her than amazing! She handled the situation with great care & the she completely changed the outcome of our night positive. The waitress then came back & asked us if we wanted the menu for desserts. We said yes & she just looks at us & says oh well we don't have menu's for desserts... then why are you asking...? She then started telling us what are the desserts but I lost her halfway through all the options. We ended up skipping the dessert & we went elsewhere to grab a dessert. Gatto Matto should make a dessert menu since they have a nice variety. I can't say if all the waiters were the same, which I highly doubt but some of them she be offered some shadowing or help them through the night. I have waitressing experience but I myself could never offer such a low service for any of my clients, to make them wait one hour & not do any follow up & to offer them something the restaurant doesn't have. Either way, we will definitely come back because of the way the situation was handled by Rita the manager, we left with a smile because of her. Thank you Rita! You just won two new clients & many more with the recommendations we will make!
Definitely my favourite gatto matto location. The food & service is night & day compared to their other location. Definitely only coming to this one from now on. The vibes are great especially in the summer. If you're only ordering one appetizer please make the grilled octopus you will not regret it!! Ive never had a negative experience here the food & service is always lovely. Also prices are very good for how good the food & drinks are!!
