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.
It was great; the food was great, the service was courteous. The music could be a touch lower so we don't have to scream to talk over the music & we weren't that far from each other eithe
Endroit sympathique j'y suis allé pour un anniversaire. On avaient tous le menue. C'était bon, bonne ambiance. Le dessert était un peut léger, pour le prix je m'attendais à mieux
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!
I hosted a surprise birthday supper for approximately 20 people.The food, the service & the restaurant itself was fantastic. We had Julie as a waitress, & wow she is awesome! :)
Moi & ma blonde nous y allons souvent & la nourriture est toujours aussi bonne. Nous aimons aussi l'ambiance & la décoration du restaurant qui nous donne toujours le sourire. Le personnel nous a toujours bien traité. Je recommande fortement.

Superbe endroit à côté de la place Bell à Laval ....on m'a dis que le steak New York coûtait 39$ & venait avec des frites. Surprise à la facture...il coûte 45$...un peu poche comme surprise. Le service est bien malgré que personne nous a reoffert de l'eau ou boisson sauf au dessert. J'avoue que l'endroit était packté...bref...belle expérience...
Merci pour cette magnifique soirée, la qualité des plats, la décoration des assiettes, la gentillesse & la simplicité de la serveuse Gabriela. Ce n'est pas ma première visite au Gatto Matto & encore une fois, merci pour votre accueil. Je le recommande à tous!
Très bonne cuisine & excellent service! Entrecôte veillie & la pieuvre c'était excellent. L'inconvénient est le volume élevé de la musique, qui empêche les visiteurs de s'entendre. Cela ressemble plus à un bar sportif qu'à un restaurant italien.

Absolutely amazing !!!! Had that huge platter lambs chops steak & shrimp was absolutely insane !! Im going having that platter all over again ! & the appetizers were excellent. Calamars , beef tatar , cacio pepe veggie dip the focacio into the cacio pepe sauce then add the tatar on top then bite !
Un excellent choix pour un bon repas avant un spectacle à la salle André-Mathieu à 5 minutes de marche. Excellent service. Pas d'attente parfait pour ne pas stresser avant un spectacle.
Very disappointed... I heard so many great reviews about this restaurant. The food was average (I ordered the BUCATINI CARBONARA TRUFFE NOIRE). I couldn't swap the bucatini for linguini or fettuccini. I had two drinks. They both barely had any taste, they were watery & had way too much ice (Spritz - Apricot & Sangria - Milan). I didn't even finish any of them. For dessert i had three Cheesecake - New York style. I was okay. Nothing amazing... Overall, disappointed with the food. Our waitress was nice, but nothing extraordinary. The place is beautiful, beautiful decor!! The parking SUCKS! I paid 30$ because I parked at the Place Bell. I have a Christmas diner next week with my colleagues. Hopefully I have a better experience. :)
Nous avons déménagé en début d'été à Laval ! Nous avons essayer le restaurant à plusieurs reprise , les plats sont délicieux,les huîtres son fraiches, les portions généreuse , le gaspacho ouffff a essayer avec une bonne petite bière en fût,& que dire du décor,parfait pour les stories Ig ,bref nous adorons ce resto ❤️👌
