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!
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.
Pasta portions are very small for the price I payed. Pizza was good but was not impressed by the pasta. Was expecting a decent sized bowl for the price but when I saw it come I was shocked by how small it was & was still hungry after my meal.
