" Dining at Matthew's was an enjoyable experience. My family celebrated my sister's birthday there, and we were treated like family. The owner stopped by our table and was genuinely interested in our meal. The food was delightful; I especially appreciated their seafood linguine. I would recommend reservations as the space is small but intimate. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Matthew's last night! The ambiance was cozy, and I felt welcomed right away. I tried the chicken parmigiana, which was superb. The bread was fresh and warm. My friends had the rigatoni with vodka sauce, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Service was attentive without being overbearing. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Matthew's is an absolute delight! Gourmet Italian dining in a cozy setting. I savored the meatballs, and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. The portion sizes were generous too! Although it was crowded, the staff maintained a high level of service. Matthew greeted everyone personally, which adds to the welcoming feel. I'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Matthew's, and I was blown away by the flavors! The stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer were delicious, but the real star was the rigatoni alla vodka - creamy with just the right kick. The staff offered helpful recommendations, and I appreciated the personalized service. Yes, it's busy and a tad noisy, but I think that only adds to the charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Matthew's for a special lunch and was charmed by the atmosphere. The staff was attentive, but the food was a letdown. I ordered the chicken marsala, but it was overly sweet. However, their dessert menu made up for it – I had the cannoli, and it was heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Matthew's based on word-of-mouth for our anniversary dinner, and it was wonderful! The setting is romantic, and we enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine. The lobster ravioli melted in my mouth, and my partner loved their steak. Friendly service made it a night to remember. We will surely celebrate here again next year! " (*Curated Review*)

" Matthew's was a delightful experience that lived up to the buzz! I particularly loved the fresh bread and flavorful marinara sauce accompanying my pasta. The ambiance was romantic and intimate, making it perfect for our date night. I highly recommend trying their seafood specials - you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)
