    We celebrated Fathers Day at San Matteo with the veal Chop and Chicken Piccata .Both dishes were absolutely DELICIOUS!! Our waiter Brice was fantastic- attentive - friendly- professional and extremely knowledgeable! The drinks as always were on point and to top off the evening a visit from the owners to stop by and say Hello makes the night special. If you have not been to San Matteo’s - GO HURRY UP & GO there order the Pizza order the veal chop order the lasagna order the stuffed ravioli’s just go - you won’t be disappointed!!

    Seafood Risotto was adequate and served hot. Would not bother to get it again. Lobster Ravioli was terrible. Served barely warm. No taste of lobster, because there was very little. When brought to the table it was very thin and did not look appetizing: it was not. Each dish was $29.00. I would not recommend the place to others until I try it again: if I try it again. All in all a terrible disappointment for my wife and I who eat out about six times per week..

    We love the pizza and Caesar Salad. The wine list has a good number of by the glass options. Restaurant was not too crowded when we were there so the noise level was not an issue.
