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.

I had a very frustrating experience trying to book my bridal shower here.

I initially met with a manager to discuss hosting the event. She gave me the menu, & I told her I would be bringing my own cake, so dessert would be removed. She then made up an estimated price on the spot & said she would confirm with the owner.

Weeks went by with no response, despite multiple attempts to follow up. When I finally called again, a different manager gave me a completely different price & said she would also need the owner's approval. Once again, no one ever got back to me.

To make things worse, I was told two different prices for cake cutting - one staff member said $8, another said $4. This shows a lack of consistency & professionalism.

Overall, this place feels very disorganized, with poor communication & prices that seem to change depending on who you speak to. It made me very uncomfortable trusting them with an important event like a bridal shower.

On top of that, portions are extremely small for the price, wine is expensive despite being a lower-end brand, & the staff does not seem experienced in managing private events.

I would not recommend this place for hosting events, & I'm glad I decided not to move forward.

This review is about how to screw up a nice experience for $1.50.

The service we received was very good.
The food we received was ok. I ordered a pasta with tomato sauce & I asked for bread. I shouldn't have to ask in an Italian restaurant, but I had to.

The bread I received was terrible. Let's not forget this is supposed to be a decent italian restaurant. The 2 slices of bread were like melba toast. Hard with no substance. The kicker is that we spent almost $250 for a meal for & they had the hutspa to charge us $1.50 for those 2 lousy pieces of bread. We have averaged 2 visits a month over the past year or so but they won't be seeing my money any time soon. This was the true meaning of PENNY WISE & POUND FOOLISH not too say very insulting......

La cuisine était très bonne & le service irréprochable & respectueux. Nous étions avec mes beaux-parents, disons que l'ambiance n'était pas celle recherchée, avec la musique forte. Mais pour un souper entre amis, ça doit être génial! Assurément, j'y retournerai avant un spectacle!
