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. :)

Je viens ici assez souvent & d'habitude j'ai un bon service & c'est 5 étoile pour moi. Mais hier, j'ai commandé la pieuvre pour la 1ere fois & je l'ai trouvé très épicé & j'en ai fait par à la serveuse qui a complètement ignoré mon inconfort à manger épicé. & à demandé si les autres trouvaient le plats épicés !! J'ai trouvé ça très impoli de sa part, car c'est moi qui a une intolérance... ma cousine aussi le trouvais epicé mais tolérable pour elle. Sa réponse à été de me dire que la sauce "Harissa" effectivement est épicé dans le menu & qu'elle peut rien faire! & elle a quitté ma table sans me proposer une autres option. J'ai donc payé pour un repas que je n'ai pas mangé. Très très déçue du service.
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.
Incroyable restaurant! Nous avons essayé le KEG, steak frite, Houston & rien n'est comparable à Gatto Matto. Le filet mignon est tellement bon, mon conjoint & moi y allons à toutes nos fêtes & anniversaires. Je le recommande fortement
Went here for my girlfriend's birthday, with a group. Was welcomed, & seated in a very cordial way. The food was really delicous. Loved everything about it, but a bit steep of a price.
Only reason why I'm giving the service ;4 star ⭐️ & not 2 star is because Iknow what it's like to be a server we all have our off days. The food was good but not more than that. 3 star is because of the music. It's way too loud. I'd understand if it was easy listening Kenny G but club music at a restaurant. Lol come on I may be old but seriously ? It way way too loud.
