Ordered takeaway pizza (Sesfood and Tropicale). It's yummy, especially the Seafood pizza!

This is a local gem in Vermont dishing out authentic Italian food. The restaurant does take away and has a decent sized dine in seated area and offers byo. Pizza is a speciality with its extensive menu of both red and white base pizzas, they are cooked in a woodfire oven for that real authentic chewy pizza base. My fave was the prosciutto topped pizza.
There is also a smaller range of pasta favourites available including specials of the day.
The carbonara is a standout which I need to tell you about. There are two types of carbonara, the creamy kind of sauce made with cream and the ‘real Italian’ type that originated from Rome which is made without any cream but simply good quality panchetta/ Italian bacon, eggs and Parmesan. Via Matta offers the ‘real italian’ style carbonara for regulars who know to ask, I only discovered it during my first dining visit to the restaurant when it was ok the specials board. On my second visit to try the dish, it wasn’t on the menu but I discovered it’s available if you know to ask!
On desserts, the tiramisu is a winner, it is a generous size so perfect for sharing or for one of course! The lemon cake was slightly still frozen when it was served to our table.
Great service, definitely be coming back for another carbonara, pizza and tiramisu.
When I want an Italian fix/feed, I head to VM. Luigi and his crew at this simple joint serves up nothing but the best. Fresh and delicious. Every single time. Enzo at front of house is a warm, bubbly and real friendly bloke too.
Top notch REAL Napoli woodfire pizza, Thin base , fresh minimal topping. Amazing every time. Great prices also for such quality ingredients.
If you want a thick shit processed topping style American pizza this classy authentic place is not for you.
Love this authentic Italian place. Friendly service and great food with delicious pizza, pasta & the gluten free gnocchi especially. Well done.
Delicious pizza! There is nothing else like it in the area. Excellent bases, amazing tomato napoli sauce, quality toppings. I can highly recommend the Via Matta Special. Thanks guys!
Yummy yummy! Very nice staff and chef also. The pizza was awesome with all fresh ingredients. I don’t usually love olive but their olive were impressively good. Pasta was special of the day with mushroom sauce. Fantastic homemade pasta. We also ordered Tiramisu for dessert - again very nice balance. Next time would love to try the Nutella calzone. I live in South Yarra with lots food options but I’ll still come back!
Great food and friendly staff. We ordered a pizza and pasta, both were incredibly fresh and yummy! Normally I prefer pizza over pasta, but the pasta tasted incredibly fresh and I found myself eating the pasta over the pizza. I will definitely go back!
Forget 400gradi, D.O.C., and all those overpriced "authentic Italian gourmet" pizzerias. Honestly, Via Matta is the best pizza I found in Victoria, great ingredients and lovely staff.
If you are looking for the usual thick base pizza with lots of topping, this place is not for you. Enzo and his guys are the real deal, making pizza just like you get in Italy, thin base and a few toppings.... I have been there 3 times now and they are really good at what they do, making pizza the authentic way. Will be trying their pasta soon and have high expectations, based on the quality of their pizza.

Delicious Woodfire Pizza + my newly fav Gnocchi . I've been to this place frequently as my partner found this is the best Pizza he had near our home. The service and the quality of their food are constantly cater our expectations. The staff are always friendly and made us feel welcome in each of our visits. Looks like most important ingredient are imported from Italy. Highly recommended.
Great service and even better food. Walked into the restaurant through a recommendation and can say it’s the best Italian pizza and pasta in Melbourne! Giulia was fantastic and had great recommendation from the menu. Will definitely come again!
Excellent, authentic Italian pizza. A very good, thin and crispy dough. The quality is consistently excellent. A hidden gem in the suburbs.
Ever since I moved to this country I've been trying and trying to find a good italian restaurant. After searching and searching, my mother reccomended a family owned restaurant called Via Matta and ever sincr my first time eating there I've been forever changed.
Via Matta has arguably the best italian cuisine in melbourne. The family and staff that run the restaurant are lovely and the prices are perfectly affordable. I highly reccomend whatever is on the specials board for your first visit, but if that's not your style the Gnocci al Pesto is my personal favorite item on the menu. The wine imports have been some of my favorite bottles of all time, especially the Pinot Grigio.
Going to Via Matta with my Fiance, by myself, or with family has become a tradition that I've come to cherish and look forward to.
Thank you for all of the wonderful times Enzo, Luigi, Nina, and staff!
