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.
Très beau restaurant, service rapide & impeccable. Le tataki de thon était excellent, par contre les pâtes pesto étaient pas très bonne. Trop sallé, trop crémeuse...je ne les ai pas fini. La pizza était OK.
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.
Music is very loud, the pizzas are very oily & they gave me back my birthday cake cut in pieces all smashed up & in small separate boxes, they also did not give back the box of candles I gave them with the cake.
Great restaurant with great service, small pizza menu but quality is really good & fresh. Great service & very nice place. Woulf recommend to everyone!
