Gatto Matto propose un menu concentré sur les techniques culinaires italiennes traditionnelles avec un accent particulier sur les pâtes artisanales et les pizzas cuites au feu de bois. La cuisine prépare quotidiennement la pâte et les sauces fraîches afin d'assurer une qualité constante pour chaque portion de margherita ou de plats de pâtes complexes. Les clients découvrent une salle à manger spacieuse conçue pour un service à haut volume qui maintient un flux efficace dans tout l'espace intérieur. Le menu met en valeur les profils gustatifs régionaux grâce à l'utilisation de fromages importés et de produits saisonniers sélectionnés pour leur authenticité. Chaque assiette privilégie la texture et l'intégrité structurelle, reflétant un engagement envers les méthodes de préparation classiques des cuisines italiennes standard. L'établissement utilise des températures de cuisson constantes pour obtenir des croûtes parfaitement dorées et des pâtes al dente pour une expérience fiable.
Gatto Matto est souvent loué pour sa délicieuse cuisine italienne, son ambiance vibrante et son service constant, ce qui en fait un choix populaire pour les célébrations et les repas avant les événements. Bien que de nombreux clients soulignent l'excellente qualité de plats comme la pieuvre grillée, la pizza et diverses options de pâtes, certains notent que les portions peuvent être petites et parfois inconstantes dans l'assaisonnement. Le restaurant offre une ambiance animée, semblable à celle d'un club avec une musique entraînante que beaucoup apprécient, bien que certains convives trouvent le volume trop élevé pour une conversation confortable. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentionné, amical et professionnel, de nombreux membres du personnel recevant une reconnaissance spéciale pour leur hospitalité. La commodité est renforcée par les options de stationnement disponibles et, malgré des avis mitigés concernant le rapport qualité-prix et les niveaux de bruit, le consensus général désigne cet établissement comme une adresse fortement recommandée pour une expérience culinaire amusante et mémorable.
Had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. Our waitress was friendly & attentive, wait time short, signature cocktails amazing, & delicious food. Only downside was I thought the charge of 5$ for the gluten free pasta to be too high. I have celiac disease & had limited choice on the menu (which is normal with this allergy), but found it unjust to be charged with such a high price for the pasta change when there weren't really other options for me. I hope they can reconsider this. Otherwise, absolutely lovely restaurant, would 100% recommend & can't wait to go back!
I can't say enough great things about Gatto Matto Laval. We were there this past Friday to celebrate my wife's birthday, & as always, it was an exceptional experience.
We come here often, about once every two weeks & there's a reason we keep coming back. The service is consistently outstanding, with plenty of attentive staff who make you feel truly taken care of. The atmosphere is perfect: lively with great background music or a DJ, yet still comfortable enough to enjoy conversation at your table.
Everything was spot on from the food to the overall vibe. It's one of those rare places that delivers every single time.
A big shout out to Shawn for always taking such great care of us-courteous, professional, & genuinely welcoming.
& one detail that really makes a difference, especially in Montreal winters: the free underground parking. It makes the whole experience that much more convenient, no matter the weather.
Highly recommended. This is definitely one of our go-to spots!
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.

Gr8 spot for dinner & drinks after an event at Place Bell.
Our hostess Béatriz & others were so attentive & welcoming.
Would have loved to sit on the patio or the main area but we didn't have a reservation so we were delighted to get a table.
Thank you Gatto Matto, looking forward to being back soon!
This is a vibrant place. Waiter Mikael was so attentive to our satisfaction, he asked & returned a few times before we ordered as we couldn't make up our minds. We had an issue & this was resolved rapidly by management. My interpretation of management wanting restaurant to succeed. Kudos to them. Service today has unfortunately diminished in many establishments & when a turnaround happens, we need to say bravo to them & give them return visits.
Good Italian restaurant with decent menu for a birthday dinner.
The host was attentive to our needs, drinks were kept topped off & friendly to
Boot.
I ordered the pistachio burrata spaghetti & don't let the portion size deceive you. I was very full after & found the portion generous.
I want to add that the fries were a letdown. These were oil-logged. & after a few bites I couldn't have anymore. Also, while I found the prices for everything on the menu very reasonable, I found it was overpriced for the fries (not including the fact that our plate of fries was untouched because of the oil).
For the dessert we had the Nutella bomboloni. Delicious & was one of the better bomboloni I've ever had.
This place had the music turned up way too loud. It's a mix of popular 2000s hits retuned to a dance beat. While it was nice to hop to a dance version of'smooth operator', this made conversation impossible. & I do recall leaving with a headache.
I was at Gatto Matto on a Sunday afternoon, working as a photographer for a private event.
The service was exceptionally good; the entire staff is very attentive, professional & pleasant.
The location was clean & attractive.
To top it off, although I was busy working, I was given a complimentary pizza to take home & enjoy. I'm really happy because it was delicious. Tasty topping with a crust that was extraordinary.
Thanks for the pleasant experience! I really appreciated all your effort.
My wife & I visited Gatto Matto Laval on February 15, & I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. I've been here before, & every visit reinforces why this place is so special.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, with a spotless interior & convenient indoor parking. The staff is incredibly welcoming, making you feel like a VIP from start to finish.
The food? Absolutely top-notch. Gatto Matto delivers consistently outstanding quality, taste, & presentation. From the fresh bread & vibrant salads to the perfectly cooked pasta, steak, & expertly crafted cocktails, everything is exceptional in both quality & value.
A special shoutout to our waiter, Nuno, who provided fantastic service with a friendly & attentive approach. He truly enhanced our dining experience.
What I love most about Gatto Matto is how it encourages me to explore new flavors. Their creative & well-balanced combinations have introduced me to tastes I wouldn't have tried elsewhere.
Without a doubt, this is my favorite restaurant. We'll definitely be back soon!
I had an incredible dining experience at Gatto Matto! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant & stylish, with a perfect mix of modern & classic Italian charm. The service was outstanding-our server was friendly, knowledgeable, & attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich & well-balanced, & the ingredients tasted fresh & high-quality. The cocktail menu was also impressive, with creative & well-crafted drinks. To top it all off, the desserts were divine! The tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had-light, creamy, & full of flavor. If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, Gatto Matto is the place to go. Highly recommend & can't wait to return!
