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 largement reconnu pour son atmosphère vibrante, son superbe design intérieur et sa cuisine italienne de haute qualité, de nombreux clients soulignant la qualité des pizzas, du poulpe grillé et des plats de pâtes. Les convives apprécient régulièrement le personnel attentionné, sympathique et professionnel qui contribue à une expérience accueillante, tout comme la commodité du stationnement intérieur gratuit. Bien que l'ambiance animée et la musique soient appréciées par beaucoup pour des célébrations et des sorties, certains visiteurs notent que le volume sonore peut devenir assez élevé, et quelques clients ont exprimé des réserves concernant la taille des portions et les prix. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure une destination prisée, particulièrement pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience gastronomique festive près de la Place Bell.
Ordered the carbonara pasta & I only got a small handful. It felt like a children's portion, & that for 26$z I feel scammed. Also, it barely had any flavour. My friend's fries had more flavour. Otherwise the atmosphere was nice.
Beautifully designed restaurant. Reservations are recommended because it is next to Place Bell. There is indoor parking underneath. The plates are not too big which is great because pasta can be very heavy & filling, but here, the portions are very reasonable. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. The pastas were delicious, especially the carbonara & the frutti di mare linguini. I don't recommend the beef cavatelli because it was way too salty. The pizzas here are amazing. Their dough is very soft & easy to eat. Our waitress Alicia was extremely nice & accomodating. This restaurant has a great vibe. I truly recommend it.
Had a fantastic evening at this restaurant. Our waitress was friendly & attentive, wait time short, signature cocktails amazing, & delicious food. Only downside was I thought the charge of 5$ 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!

The service is what truly made the whole experience really bad. We had booked a two-hour reservation but they started rushing us before we even had the chance to settle in, like our time was already up. Not even 1 hour after, the girl told us to leave in a rude tone because someone had to sit at our place immediately. That's not what a restaurant is supposed to do, its role is to make you feel welcome & allow you to fully enjoy your experience, not rush you out the door. Afterwards, we simply just went to another place to eat in a better spot. Plus, the food was pretty bland (especially the pesto pasta). Not returning here. Waste of time & money.
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.
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......
Genuinely impressed with the food. Pasta was especially well made. I was disappointed with the level of service. Needed to call the waitress several times. Unfortunate.
Expensive for what it is. I ordered a carbonara for $31 & the portion was surprisingly small. When I asked for some bread to go with my pasta, they told me it would cost an extra $7. Honestly, that's ridiculous. An Italian restaurant charging for bread? Bread should be a given when you're ordering pasta.
