"We came down for a friends birthday and the food was absolutely amazing. We shared family style to be able to try everything since their dinner is the newest addition and to say we were blown away is an understatement. The broth from the muscles is to die for, the chimichurri on the steak is out of this world, but one of the home runs was definitely the pork belly. The Chef fuses, almost Mexican with Italian flavors So you can definitely tell that everything is cooked with love and passion. Definitely adding this as a staple to one of our date nights. The atmosphere was also very chill super friendly staff even the Chef came out to explain what was in the dish and the hard work that goes behind scenes. Also, the caramel espresso martini was incredible. It was not harsh like martinis sometimes tend to be."

"It’s going to be a long review because I am astonished at the experience here. We had the most wonderful date night at Matteo’s with my husband and our baby girl! This spot has always been known for their incredible breakfast, but now that they’ve opened up for dinner — wow, they’ve absolutely outdone themselves. Located at the corner of Juniper Street, Matteo’s offers amazing views and is nestled in a calm, peaceful area. The decor and atmosphere immediately put us at ease, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing evening out. We started with a refreshing glass of Sangria, which was tasty and a great way to kick off the night, and ended with a delicious IPA — the perfect finish to an incredible meal. 😋 We began with the truffle fries, which were perfectly crispy, fresh, and seasoned just right — every bite was flavorful and balanced. Then came the honey glazed matcha wings and fermented Fresno chili wings — both had the perfect level of spice (though the honey matcha ones packed a surprising little kick!). For our mains, we had the short rib pappardelle pasta, which was absolutely amazing. You could really taste how the chef masterfully blended Mexican and Italian influences — it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The New York steak with chimichurri was to die for — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. To finish, we had the limoncello cake for dessert — it was the perfect ending to an already incredible meal. Light, zesty, and perfectly sweet, it had a refreshing citrusy kick that left us smiling. A huge shoutout to Natalie, the Chef, and Alex, the Sous Chef, for coming out to explain each dish personally. They were not only incredibly friendly but also super attentive, making sure every table was well taken care of. Their passion for the food really stood out and made the evening even more special. And of course, a big thank you to Lupe, who was our server and hostess — she did it all! Her outstanding customer service and warm, welcoming personality made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We left feeling so happy, full, and truly impressed. If you’re looking for a cozy, elevated dining experience with creative flavors and top-notch service, Matteo’s is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to come back! 💛🍝🥩🍰"

"This was a very beautiful open air space. You can hear the sounds of the city all around you in a good way. If you're looking for a quiet place to eat, try something else. The food was delicious! The service was amazing. Checked in with us mutiple times and answered all our questions. The owner came by and checked on every one eating and chatted us up for bit. They gave some great recommendations on places to visit. We will be back again for the tinga tostadas and french toast!"

"Great brunch at Matteo in South Park! Love the cute decor and vibe. The food was really yummy, we had the chichirichi sandwich, salmon omelette, and a side pancake. The iced mocha was really good too. Friendly and accommodating staff. Love how they are dog friendly indoor and out. Recommend!"

"I seriously couldn't love a place any harder if I tried. Christmas 2025 alone and missing my family and mother more specifically. This place blessed me with a pup cup, hot chocolate and a piece of cake and not to be left out a little teddy bear. My pups Sterling and I couldn't have been more welcomed if they tried. Can't wait to spend more time here."
