" I can't say enough about how lovely this restaurant is! The food was fresh and bursting with flavors. I had the shrimp and linguine, which was cooked to perfection, and the clam sauce was divine! My partner loved their risotto as well. The service felt personal, with Matthew himself greeting guests, which made it feel special. I highly recommend dining here for any occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard about the rave postings. I believe Matthew's atmosphere is nice, and the food was good; however, I found my chicken parmigiana average at best. The service was friendly, but I felt rushed, perhaps because it was a busy Friday night. I may return to try other popular dishes, as I did enjoy the ambiance and other’s meals looked very appealing. " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible local Italian restaurant that feels like home! The minestrone soup was to die for and set a warm tone for the meal. The waitstaff was attentive, as they ensured our glasses were always full. By the time we stopped for dessert, we were full and happy! I particularly recommend their panna cotta, which was divine. Definitely looking forward to another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I have eaten Italian food everywhere, and Matthew's is the best! Their homemade pasta is divine, and I was pleasantly surprised at the generous portion sizes. The owner walked around to check on patrons, which was a nice touch. I will come back for the mushroom risotto next time without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a local treat! Their menu is rich with traditional dishes that stay true to Italian roots. The tagliatelle with ragu is a must-try! You can tell it’s homemade. The service was warm and welcoming, a wonderful dining experience overall. I encourage anyone visiting Clifton to stop by! " (*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*)
