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.
We went without any reservation, but was able to get a table in about 10 minutes. We tried their breakfast lasagna, break pizza & brioche eggs Benny. Food was really good, we really enjoyed. Service & the atmosphere are good. Mistakenly we got served another option instead of lasagna we ordered, however they switched it without any trouble at all. Only downside is that they don't have many options in their brunch menue. After 4 pm they switch to their regular menu.
Due to the location, only paid parking is available. But you can find parking within walking distance easily.
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.

My experience was very good. The manager really know his menu, know what to recommend & was super nice. Ambiance was nice, not too much noise & the parking lot is so convenient. Will surely come back.
Visited Gatto Matto for my bestfriends surprise party for a group of 15. The service was amazing & the food was divine! I will definitely be going back. Also if there are no events at Place Bell you can park in the underground parking for free. Get your ticket validated at the restaurant.
Gorgeous restaurant with excellent food (I really enjoyed the Pizza with Prosciutto Di Parma). 🍕 Our server, Veronica, was very kind & knowledgeable about the menu. We reserved last minute for a group birthday party & they were very accommodating. We all had a really great time! Paid parking available around the area. Buon appetitio 😀 🍝
Had seafood pasta..it was mediocre. Service the same..our wine arrived when we were half way through our meals & were told'we're very busy' by the waiter. Music is loud, hard to have a conversation but this is fine you like that sort of thing. We would have appreciated being told in advance that there was a gala tonight & that there would be limited free parking space. If you dont park on P13 (designated for the restaurant) the parking staff will make you pay upon exit. Although a few staff at Gatto Matto assured me I didnt have to pay since P13 was full, that wasn't the case.
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!
Service was faster than expected, food was very good, drinks were good, music was good for me (I like afro house) - No complaints at all - clean & nice decor & free parking in the place bell building for clients of the restaurant.
