" I recently had dinner at Robba da Matti, and I can confidently say this is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with a friendly atmosphere and the smell of fresh pasta being made in-house. I ordered the spaghetti vongole, and it was packed with flavor. The clams were tender and the sauce was perfect. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and they made some excellent wine recommendations. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Robba da Matti provides a delightful and intimate dining experience. The pasta is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. I thoroughly enjoyed the canneloni, which had beautiful flavors and a delightful blend of cheeses. The service was impeccable, always on top of things without being intrusive. While the prices are on the higher side, you absolutely get what you pay for in quality. It’s a perfect place for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Robba da Matti! The burrata appetizer was incredible; it was creamy and paired beautifully with the fresh tomatoes. For the main course, I opted for the lobster ravioli, which was rich and enjoyable. The staff were helpful and attentive, especially during the busy dinner hours. My only complaint is that the portions could have been a bit larger given the price, but overall, I left very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Italian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Robba da Matti was quite enjoyable! The atmosphere was intimate and cozy. We started with the burrata and prosciutto, which set the tone for a great evening. The pasta is prepared freshly each day, and it shows in the taste. My only downside was the dessert which felt a bit lackluster compared to the mains. Otherwise, a pleasant evening and would consider coming here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the cozy atmosphere of Robba da Matti, I found the food to be overpriced for the quality. The pasta was decent, but I’ve had better at other local spots for a more reasonable price. The service was polite but seemed disorganized—the wait between courses felt excessively long. It’s a charming place, but I don’t think I’ll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Robba da Matti! The food is fantastic and tastes like it came straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen. The lasagna was hearty and comforting while the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine. It's small, so reservations are a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Robba da Matti was such a delightful experience. The ambiance is really charming, it feels like you're stepping into a tiny Italian bistro. We ordered the mushroom ravioli and the seafood linguine, both of which were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. Our server was very knowledgeable and shared great tips about the menu. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience with generous portions, I highly recommend Robba da Matti! " (*Curated Review*)
