A most enjoyable evening. Greeted with friendly smiles and had the pleasure of eating delicious fresh Italian food. Every dish we selected was cooked to perfection. The bread and bread sticks are freshly made on site. I will definitely go back.
Matteo’s is a wonder Italian spot located in downtown Sydney. It’s the perfect spot for an after work cocktail or business dinner as the place is in the heart of CBD. Great laid back, relaxed, and upscale vibe.
The restaurant is quite busy so a reservation is highly recommended. When we sat down it took us a while to be serviced, but once our waiter came over she was very attentive and the food came out rather quickly. We ordered the calamari, which was perfectly fried and crispy while still melts in your mouth; focaccia bread, absolutely divine; oysters, served with a delicious sherry wine vinegar; gnocchi, it okay okay it tasted a bit like Chef Boyardee; risotto, which was perfectly cooked but lacked flavor; and the whole fish of the day, which was a pink snapper with a fresh hint of lime that pulled out the flavors. Overall the food was good, the flavor on the pasta dishes was lacking but everything else was great. Good Italian restaurant, but not great.
Very nice pasta and drinks. My squid ink risotto was superb.
The atmosphere is high class and the prices on the menu are more than fair for the location as well as quality of the service, food and drinks.
