Have had several take-out meals and excellent every time. Food is hot and cooked perfectly. Gnocchis are amazing! Looking forward to the pizza oven!
Had a wonderful late night dinner here last night, and everything was exceptional! Starting from the hostess who was so sweet, we did not have reservations, but she was able to give us the choice of our ideal seating preference. Our server was attentive, and very kind. I had the arrancini, gnocchi, and a lovely sangria - it was perfection! Love all the gnocchi choices, and everything was perfectly portioned. Can not wait to go back to try more!
Matteo is in a nice location conveniently located next to Cocktail. They haven't been open long. Their pizza oven is not up and running yet so we weren't able to try a pizza there yet. I believe they are waiting on permits (like other restaurants in St. Pete).
They have a decent selection of cocktails as well as Italian beer on tap (Peroni). The wine list I thought could have been better. They had some better stuff on the top end but a lot of the wine was grocery store level and marked up significantly.
The rice balls we had were quite tasty. The bread was pretty authentic. Hard like Italian bread. The entrees we honestly didn't love. We felt there was a lack of spice to a lot of the dishes with some of them being almost bland. We had the lasagna, a raghu dish, and gnocchi with shrimp in a pink sauce. The portion sizes were way too big and priced accordingly high as well. I just can't get behind the "price is high but the portions are so big" thing any longer. I recommend they introduce a half portion or cut their portion sizes down by at least a third.
The Best meal I’ve ever had in St. Petersburg. Great menu, bartenders, wait staff and wine selection. We’ve been there twice this week...can’t wait to go back again soon. A magnificent addition to our town. Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
