Review Summary

Gatto Matto is frequently praised for its delicious Italian cuisine, vibrant atmosphere, and consistent service, making it a popular choice for celebrations and pre-event dinners. While many patrons highlight the excellent quality of dishes like the grilled octopus, pizza, and various pasta options, some note that portions can be small and occasionally inconsistent in seasoning. The restaurant features a lively, club-like vibe with upbeat music that many enjoy, though some guests find the volume too high for comfortable conversation. Service is generally described as attentive, friendly, and professional, with numerous staff members receiving special recognition for their hospitality. Convenience is bolstered by available parking options, and despite some mixed reviews regarding value and noise levels, the overall consensus points to a highly recommended spot for a fun and memorable dining experience.

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.

Très beau restaurant, service rapide & impeccable. Le tataki de thon était excellent, par contre les pâtes pesto étaient pas très bonne. Trop sallé, trop crémeuse...je ne les ai pas fini. La pizza était OK.

I visited Gatto Matto after a round of virtual golf with a few friends, & overall, it was a very positive experience.

From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. The staff was attentive across the board-from the hostess who seated us, to our waiter, to the team members who regularly checked in, refilled water, & kept our wine topped up. One staff member in particular (I unfortunately didn't catch her name) was especially attentive & made sure everything was running smoothly at our table.

They were also patient & accommodating while we waited for friends who were delayed due to traffic & parking issues following the letout of the Laval Rockets hockey game at Place Bell.

The only downside on the service side was the two-hour table limit, which, while understandable on a busy Saturday night, did add a bit of pressure to the evening.

As for the food, we started with the salmon tartare & grilled octopus-both were well-prepared & flavorful. For mains, my wife had a Pizza Burrata & I had a pasta with guanciale meat, which one of my friends also ordered. The dishes were good, though I found the pasta portion a bit small, especially considering the price. That said, pricing is generally in line with what you'd expect for pasta in Montreal.

The wine selection was decent but nothing remarkable. Like most restaurants, prices start around $50 per bottle, & while acceptable, the quality didn't quite match the cost-I've had better at that price point.

We also looked into the meat platter, which ranges from roughly $150 to $180 for two to three people. While it includes premium items like lobster tails & shrimp, it still feels expensive compared to similar platters at smokehouse-style restaurants.

Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, & the experience was enjoyable. It's on the pricier side, but still a place I would return to.
