The designer Jacques Gaspo from Foodtastic (behind La Belle & La Boeuf, Souvlaki Bar, Carlos & Pepe’s, Le Blossom, the new Nickels and Bacaro Pizzeria) developed Gatto Matto over a two year period. A revolutionary and Avant-Garde Art Deco concept with a flower bar theme that is a fusion between Chicago and Italy. Using premium materials designed and manufactured in Montreal, the elements marry themselves wonderfully. Bright and vibrant colors give a WOW factor that will make you feel like in a modern Milan hotel with a girly touch. The creation of the open kitchen concept never seen before in the Montreal area (in collaboration with Hagop Hagopian, director of operations at Foodtastic and expert in kitchen design) allows you to see the best chefs in the region at work. No need to travel, we bring Europe to your table.
Overall, reviews for Gatto Matto praise amazing food and service and a lively, stylish atmosphere that suits pre-game outings or celebrations. Many guests highlight standout dishes, with pasta, pizza, seafood and appetizers like calamari and burrata receiving frequent praise for flavor and presentation. Several accounts emphasize attentive and friendly staff, though a few note slower or less attentive service during busy periods and that the music can be very loud. Pricing is mixed, with some finding it a bit expensive for the portions while others feel the quality, drinks and overall experience justify the cost. Reservations are advised on busy nights, the venue often hosts celebrations, and convenient parking plus a vibrant ambiance make it a popular choice for a night out. All told, Gatto Matto tends to deliver strong food, lively energy and consistently solid service that keeps guests returning.
The pasta was average, but expected more from italian restaurant. The Lamb on the other hand was not tasty, almost grey & the sauce was too acidic(58$) what a disappointment! Also want to mention the small portions & be prepared to pay 10-20$ for parking since there is none in front of the restaurant. Overall it's a fancy cute place but definitely don't go for the food nor good service.
Party of 7 Food was very good very tasty The pasta was delicious Rigatoni vodka sauce & linguini frutti di mare was the popular choice Drinks were very refreshing & large choice Service was a bit slow but it was really full & bustling with people Nice ambiance good music A must try !! Parking is no issue there's indoor free parking with ticket validated by the restaurant.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! We started off with drinks : the lychee martini, Classico caesar, blood orange mule & the paloma. All were received very well but the paloma was stronger than all the rest. I then got my appetizer, fried calamari & I loved it! Perfect crisp. For our mains we got the rigatoni pasta, 50 layer lasagna, seafood linguini & the margherita pizza. The two girls who got the lasagna said it was just average. The pizza & rigatoni were amazing though. I had gotten the seafood linguini & it was also average to me. I loved the shrimp & calamari in it though. Our waitress was super sweet & the service was good. The inside of the restaurant really makes it what it is. Just beautiful!! We had a concert at Place Bell the same night, & the restaurant was right next to the venue, so it was perfect. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the area.
My friends & I went for dinner last night. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food. Our appetizers were calamari which were very good & radicchio & endive salad which was fantastic! I had the mortadella & burrata pizza, it was delicious. My friends each had pasta & loved it. The espresso martini was very good too. I will definitely return to this restaurant however I will go on a weekday or earlier in the evening (on a weekend) because it is extremely loud in there & can barely hear anyone talk.
The restaurant vibes are amazing - fresh, clean & trendy - food is ok however not wow- could be muchly elevated in term of taste while presentation is nice - the only dish I loved was the pasta - had a pasta , pizza & appetizers & dessert - value for money is very good -service can be improved - more menu knowledge is required
Tried Gatto Matto for dinner The interior is very cute, lovely ambiance The burrata pesto pasta was very good. Super tasty. Big portion. Im so in love with their parmesan fries. Crunchy from the outside & very soft from the inside. Very Friendly staff ! Follow @ayahayek_ for more on instagram
To start off, the service is wonderful, our waitress listened to what we like & dislike (my friend doesn't eat cheese) & answered very well to the questions that we had in details, & even gave a few suggestions which we really appreciated. Moving onto the food, I ordered the Fettucini fruitti di mare (which is my favourite & go to dish in any italian restaurant), the portion is more than enough for one person. The pasta was cooked al dente, the seafood was exquisite & finally the arrabiata sauce was just the perfect amount of spiciness to let out all of the flavours of the dish. Lastly, I had the paloma cocktail which was really good. The only thing that is a little negative is that they ran out of desserts there were only two options left so we didn't fulfill our tiramisu cravings. But overall, I would definitely recommend!

Coming in, the reservation was very smooth & quick to be seated at our table @9:15. Afterwards, we placed our order (1 pizza, 1 pasta & fries) @9:20. We got our fries within 10 minutes but we we got the rest at almost 10:20. It took almost an hour for us to get our food & the pasta was very undercooked. We understand that they might've been busy but it is half full & i doubt it takes an hour to cook both our pasta & pizza properly. The only time our waiter came to check on us, she said it's coming soon & it came 30 minutes after. Very disappointing for a special occasion. The best part: Dj was killing it. Reality: Upsetting & maybe wouldn't come back.

I had the tuna crostini & Al Pesto white pizza & it was soooo good. Definitely will go back & try the pasta. My friends ordered some pasta dishes & it looked so delicious. Our waiter was very nice & always asking if we were happy with our dishes. Even the owner came by to our table to make sure everything was to our liking. A must restaurant to try in Laval.
