Je vous fais dĂ©couvrir un spot de QuĂ©bec que jâaime beaucoup, oĂč jâai fĂȘtĂ©, oĂč jâai mangĂ©, oĂč jâai bien bu souvent (...) Jâai Ă©tĂ© charmĂ© dĂšs la premiĂšre foisâŠRocco Ă l'Ă©mission SignĂ© M
La cuisine italienne, câest une cuisine de fraĂźcheur, oĂč on nâutilise que quelques ingrĂ©dients, mais oĂč la qualitĂ© est primordiale.Rocco Cortina, Article de RaphaĂ«lle Plante Le Soleil
Les plats mĂ©morables : voici, en vrac, les mets qui ont marquĂ© mes papilles en 2020 : (...) les agnolottis au veau du Matto(...) GrĂące aux restaurateurs, 2020 est loin de mâavoir laissĂ© uniquement un goĂ»t amer.Sophie Marcotte, Le Soleil
Je rĂȘve depuis [ma visite au Matto] de sauce tomate, de pĂątes fraĂźches, de champignons dĂ©glacĂ©s au vin blanc, de parmesan fraĂźchement rĂąpĂ©, de risotto, dâhuile de truffe, dâhuile dâoliveâŠSylvie Isabelle, sylvieisabelle.com
Difficile de ne pas avoir le cĆur Ă la fĂȘte lorsquâon mange au Il Matto 71. (...) Nul doute, la carte maĂźtresse de cet italien moderne, câest la saveur. Elle est lĂ , toujours, en vedette. Guide Restos Voir
On trouve ici une cuisine italienne bien faite, gĂ©nĂ©reuse et savoureuse. On craque pour les planches dâantipasti, les excellents plats de veau et les diffĂ©rents types de gelato, fondants et soyeux, dont une bouchĂ©e nous conduit illico au pays de Dante, Botticelli et Rossini.Catherine Ferland Le Devoir
Ce que jâaime de cet endroit, ce sont les valeurs sĂ»res qui trĂŽnent toujours sur la carte, Ă travers une poignĂ©e de nouveautĂ©s de temps Ă autre. Comme un refuge alimentaire, douillet et rassurant. Mais pas plate pour autant.Sophie Marcotte Le Soleil
L'ambiance y est fort agréable, offrant un judicieux équilibre entre le chic et le sympathique. (...) Une «cuisine italienne réconfortante».Martin Fournier Le Devoir
Les odeurs hantent la piÚce, racoleuses (...) Je me réjouis, je me régale...Alix Renaud
Ă chaque bouchĂ©e, il y a fĂȘte au palais (le vĂŽtre). Parfois avec des feux dâartifice, sâil vous plaĂźt.Sophie Marcotte, Voir QuĂ©bec
à la cuisine italienne, impossible de ne pas revenir. Simple et bonne, celle du Matto garde le cap sur sa ligne directrice, les saveurs de tous les jours d'une cuisine de famille.Stéphanie Bois-Houde Le Soleil
Il y en a qui ont la restauration dans le sang. Rocco Cortina est de ceux-là . Les recettes au menu sont les classiques de la mÚre du boss! Certains restaurants font dans le patrimoine; ici, c'est du pur matrimoine. Donc, si vous voulez goûter à une cuisine personnelle, familiale (aprÚs tout, c'est cela, la cuisine italienne, non?), l'endroit vaut le détour.François X CÎté, Le Devoir
