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.
Nous étions 2 . Un soir d'événement à la Place Bell , resto plein mais bon roulement pareil & temps d'attente raisonnable. Sangria excellente , pizza burrata & pistache wow coup de coeur , les frites parmesan & ail je ne les reprendrais pas . A 14$ quelle déception de recevoir des frites congelées.....& le goût d'ail & d'épices peu présent :/ Déco au goût du jour , lumineux , féminin . J'y retournerais !
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.

I had my baby shower this past weekend at Gatto Matto & it was magical! The service & the food was great & dealing with Ara was easy & productive! The staff was helpful for setup as well & made sure we had everything we needed! It was a great experience & I got great feedback from friends & family! Would definately recommend for your events! Thank you Gatto Matto & Ara!
la nourriture na pas de goût. les drinks alcoolisés sont très bon, surtout le paloma. le service est bien mais un peu lent. le décor est beau. Stationnement payant 20$ car il n'a aucun stationnement dans la rue.
Nice place & good food, but the waitresses keep interrupting to ask if you're ready to order & then would come several times after you are served which is slightly uncomfortable. Otherwise a great place !
We arrived for the PWHL semi final game early! We decided to eat before the game. this restaurant was attached to Place Bell. We didn't have reservations, yet the staff l did find us a table & we were quickly seated. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of the tall table, but because this meal was a spur of the moment, & our waitress efficient & friendly, it didn't take long to settle in & enjoy this restaurant & food!
Saturday May 4th we celebrated my friend's birthday. We were a group of18 & the service was great, the waiter that we had was funny, nice & very professional , (I forgot his name) . The food was good. Will come back.

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.
Excellent service , toujours à votre disposition & attentionné. La nourriture est excellente ! La sauce du poulet pané OMG . Je recommande très fortement !
Mike notre serveur woowww magnifique 10/10 Mais la petite fille a la réception avec les lunettes ( palig .. Malig.. ) je me souviens pas de son nom vraiment une mauvaise attitude elle devrait pas travailler dans le service service à la clientèle.

Nous avons passé une superbe soirée & notre serveuse Laurie était exceptionnelle. Les plats sont succulents copieux & les assiettes sont vraiment bien garnies. J'ai testé les calamaris en entrée, & avons partagé trois plats : risotto au homard, pâtes pistaches burrata & pesto ainsi que les pâtes au boeufs braisés. Je recommande chaque plat. Pour les dessert nous avons partagé tarte aux baies & gâteau au carottes, très grandes portions, j'en ai eu pour mon argent 😊. Très belle découverte pour le mocktail: jus de melon hibiscus & limonade je crois! Délicieux. Le seul bémol c'était la musique qui était beaucoup trop forte, on ne s'entendait pas parler! Mais les choix musicaux au top! J'ai vraiment passé une belle soirée je reviendrais & je recommande 🤩
I had my bridal shower at Gatto Matto this past weekend & it was truly everything I asked for & more. Ara went above & beyond for my family & I & ensured that my day was memorable & special! The restaurant was gorgeous, the food was great, & the staff was outstanding. I couldn't recommend Gatto Matto enough! In preparation, the staff made sure I had everything I needed & was by my side to help set up, & continuously checked in on me throughout the day. I am feeling so happy & it is a day I'll truly never forget because of everyone involved from the restaurant! Thank you Ara & the amazing staff for everything!!
Super bon, la pâte à pizza est top, croustillante & beaucoup de goût ! Le service est de qualité, je dirais le moins est que très peu de place au bar, très à l'étroit Un bon restaurant italien
