Gatto Matto is frequently praised for its delicious Italian cuisine, vibrant atmosphere, and excellent service, making it a popular choice for celebrations and pre-show dining near Place Bell. Many patrons highlight standout dishes such as the grilled octopus, lamb chops, and various pizzas, while the signature cocktails and aesthetic interior contribute to a memorable, lively experience. While the majority of guests report exceptional hospitality and attentive staff, some visitors have noted that the music can become quite loud during peak weekend hours, and a few have expressed concerns regarding portion sizes and pricing on specific menu items.

I can't say enough great things about Gatto Matto Laval. We were there this past Friday to celebrate my wife's birthday, & as always, it was an exceptional experience.

We come here often, about once every two weeks & there's a reason we keep coming back. The service is consistently outstanding, with plenty of attentive staff who make you feel truly taken care of. The atmosphere is perfect: lively with great background music or a DJ, yet still comfortable enough to enjoy conversation at your table.

Everything was spot on from the food to the overall vibe. It's one of those rare places that delivers every single time.

A big shout out to Shawn for always taking such great care of us-courteous, professional, & genuinely welcoming.

& one detail that really makes a difference, especially in Montreal winters: the free underground parking. It makes the whole experience that much more convenient, no matter the weather.

Highly recommended. This is definitely one of our go-to spots!

Music is very loud, the pizzas are very oily & they gave me back my birthday cake cut in pieces all smashed up & in small separate boxes, they also did not give back the box of candles I gave them with the cake.

My first time visiting Montreal & they took me to this place. I really enjoyed my time there & the food service was great & the music was nice. I even asked Dj for a specific song & he put it for me. Such a nice guy.

Food in general very good… service 8/10 depends how busy it is. Music very good & not too loud, the only problem as soon as you finish eating & about to enjoy the music it ends around 11:30-ish..drinks are pretty good amount of alcohol…

Good Italian restaurant with decent menu for a birthday dinner.

The host was attentive to our needs, drinks were kept topped off & friendly to
Boot.

I ordered the pistachio burrata spaghetti & don't let the portion size deceive you. I was very full after & found the portion generous.

I want to add that the fries were a letdown. These were oil-logged. & after a few bites I couldn't have anymore. Also, while I found the prices for everything on the menu very reasonable, I found it was overpriced for the fries (not including the fact that our plate of fries was untouched because of the oil).

For the dessert we had the Nutella bomboloni. Delicious & was one of the better bomboloni I've ever had.

This place had the music turned up way too loud. It's a mix of popular 2000s hits retuned to a dance beat. While it was nice to hop to a dance version of'smooth operator', this made conversation impossible. & I do recall leaving with a headache.

Had seafood pasta..it was mediocre. Service the same..our wine arrived when we were half way through our meals & were told'we're very busy' by the waiter. Music is loud, hard to have a conversation but this is fine you like that sort of thing. We would have appreciated being told in advance that there was a gala tonight & that there would be limited free parking space. If you dont park on P13 (designated for the restaurant) the parking staff will make you pay upon exit. Although a few staff at Gatto Matto assured me I didnt have to pay since P13 was full, that wasn't the case.
