This Italian hotspot is an ode to ancestral recipes, with both the owner’s parents helping out to create Matteo’s signature dishes. Don’t miss the bread service with focaccia baked by Matteo’s mother, housemade pastas like lasagne al ragu and tagliatelle alla bolognese, or the parmigiano reggiano-topped risotto modena. Matteo’s recently moved downtown, expanding into a larger location with a beautiful bar, private dining room, and complimentary valet service. It’s also now across the street from the historic Capitol Theatre, making it a perfect stop for pre-ballet bites.
