La nourriture est toujours bonne. Le menu est quand même bien varié. Les cocktails sont bien fait. Super bonne ambiance, surtout les vendredi & samedi soir avec les dj. On peut s'entendre malgré la musique.
Myliann nous a vraiment bien servi! Je suis déjà aller plusieurs fois au Gatto matto de laval, mais j'ai vraiment été impressionné par son service! Merci Myliann 😘

We went without any reservation, but was able to get a table in about 10 minutes. We tried their breakfast lasagna, break pizza & brioche eggs Benny. Food was really good, we really enjoyed. Service & the atmosphere are good. Mistakenly we got served another option instead of lasagna we ordered, however they switched it without any trouble at all. Only downside is that they don't have many options in their brunch menue. After 4 pm they switch to their regular menu.
Due to the location, only paid parking is available. But you can find parking within walking distance easily.
The service is what truly made the whole experience really bad. We had booked a two-hour reservation but they started rushing us before we even had the chance to settle in, like our time was already up. Not even 1 hour after, the girl told us to leave in a rude tone because someone had to sit at our place immediately. That's not what a restaurant is supposed to do, its role is to make you feel welcome & allow you to fully enjoy your experience, not rush you out the door. Afterwards, we simply just went to another place to eat in a better spot. Plus, the food was pretty bland (especially the pesto pasta). Not returning here. Waste of time & money.
Excellente expérience au Gatto Matto de Laval. Nous avons pris deux entrées ( Salade César & burrata & tomates), le filet mignon & les cavatappi au boeuf effiloché ( qui mérite une mention d'honneur tellement que c'était bon). Les plats étaient d'excellentes qualités!! Le service était au rendez-vous, mais la seule petite mention était la musique beaucoup trop forte tôt en soirée ( 18h).
