   Matteo’s: A Delightful Blend of Great Food, Atmosphere, and Live Jazz Matteo’s delivers an excellent dining experience with its combination of flavorful dishes, a warm ambiance, and live jazz that adds a sophisticated touch. The menu offers a well-curated selection of dishes, each prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, expertly cooked pasta, or a perfectly seared steak, the flavors do not disappoint. The ambiance inside is a standout feature—elegant yet inviting, with the smooth sounds of live jazz creating an intimate and lively atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a relaxed dinner while still feeling immersed in a vibrant dining scene. The cocktail program is another highlight, offering a well-balanced mix of classics and inventive creations. Whether you prefer a well-crafted Old Fashioned or something more adventurous, the bartenders clearly know their craft. Overall, Matteo’s is a fantastic spot for a night out, whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a great meal in an engaging setting. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food, great music, and expertly made cocktails.

   We arrived about 20 minutes early and decided to set inside as we had a long shot walk from the hotel. Every appetizer and entree was delicious! Fried calamari, burrata, short rib ravioli and veal chop were top notch. Highly recommend. Gabriel did any excellent job taking care of us.

   The host was too touchy feely it was a bit much. Food was great. Too loud, the place is too small for love music or at least lower the volume on the speakers. The singers can sing but I was screaming, trying to speak with my friend who was right next to me.

   Matteos has traditionally been an outstanding Italian eatery. My most recent visit resulted in mediocre food, slow service and high prices. They need to up their game.

   Staff were attentive and professional. The food was mediocre: chicken Marsala prepared with canned mushrooms! The Caesar salad dressing was tasty and not too heavy, but for some reason, like in many other restaurants, there was a lot of white (stem) of the lettuce, much of it browning around the edges, rather than green leafy romaine lettuce. The interior of the restaurant was extremely busy (Friday night evening around 8:00), so quite noisy. The staff was happy to accommodate our reservation request for outdoor seating (we had to wait a few minutes), which wasn’t as loud.

   Food was great, staff very friendly and accommodating to our toddler. Timely service as well. Gorgeous night to sit outside and they put shades down so the sun wasn’t in our eyes.

    If you like Italian food this is the place to eat in Fort Lauderdale area, athentic Italian cuisine at a very affordable price, hands down highly recommended.
