My husband and I love this place for date night! Last night they thought it was our anniversary and brought up complimentary prosecco. It was lovely. All the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Get the Pork Shank. The mussels are spot on too.

I finally made it to Mattone for dinner. I've heard great things and it didn't disappoint. The lasagna was incredible and as good as I've heard. The breadsticks were amazing too. For dessert we had the tiramisu and crème brûlée. Both were very tasty. I will definitely be back

This is always a winner, I can’t recommend it enough. All of the staff who helped us were outstanding. My Party and I were particularly loud celebrating a birthday, and they knew to put us in a corner booth so that we could enjoy our laughs and our champagne happily. The food is always outstanding here, I’ve been going to this restaurant since they had their old location. Never a disappointment! Have a ball if you book!

    The twelve layer spinach lasagna was THEE BEST DISH I’ve EVER had at ANY Italian restaurant!! I woke up this morning thinking about it!! I cannot wait to go back!! The calamari appetizer was amazing, perfectly cooked & seasoned, and the cappuccino cheesecake was a delicious end to the meal. Our waitress was delightfully efficient and funny! I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and will be a regular. I have to try all the dishes now!
