" San Matteo is a great spot for a casual meal. The pizzas are great, and the pasta dishes are mostly authentic. I had the ravioli with a rich filling; it reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. However, the service was slow at times, but I can understand it had a busy night. The ambience is relaxed and inviting, making it suitable for all occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for right Italian dishes, San Matteo hits the spot. I went there on a random Wednesday and had their spaghetti carbonara. It had a delicious creamy sauce, though I found the bacon bits a bit salty. The atmosphere was nice for a casual dinner; I enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the place. The staff was friendly but could have been a little quicker, as my drink took too long to arrive, but overall a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited San Matteo during the weekend, and while the environment was quite nice, the food left a bit to be desired. My pasta dish seemed undercooked, and I expected more flavor from my Alfredo sauce. The wait for my meal felt longer than it should have been, and unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to the positive reviews I had heard. " (*Curated Review*)

" San Matteo is known for its delicious pizzas; however, I was somewhat disappointed by my experience. While the food itself was good, I found the portions to be smaller than expected for the price I paid. The service was incredibly fast, which was a positive. All in all, it was a decent visit, but not great. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic meal! We ordered multiple appetizers, including the bruschetta and octopus, both of which were delicious. For mains, I had the chicken parmesan, which was tender and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff was very attentive. I loved that the restaurant had a genuine Italian vibe, reminiscent of family dinners in Italy. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch at San Matteo, and I have a lot of mixed feelings. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed lunch, and I truly enjoyed the garlic bread; it was buttery and garlicky just right! However, the pasta dish lacked flavors; perhaps my expectations were set too high. The service was quick, but I did feel like the dishes could use another level of seasoning. I might come back for the pizza though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having visited Italy several times, I can confidently say that San Matteo delivers an authentic Italian experience. Their pizzas are made with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. We had a variety of dishes, but the standout was definitely the margherita pizza—simply divine. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
