    The only reason I chose this place was because they have ricotta cheesecake on the menu (named something else) and it’s my Easter tradition to have it. So after a 3 course meal I was ready for my tradition. And they did not have any. Such an anticlimactic end to my meal . Such a disappointment. Next time I’ll go back to my usual place where they have what’s on the menu. Real Italians don’t have Easter with out the ricotta. I had to drive to Divietos and have espresso and delicious ricotta cheesecake.

    Dear Luki we're so sorry you left disappointed without your Easter Cheesecake. it almost never happened before to run out of Pastiera Napoletana. Pastiera is our baked version of the cheesecake and, Ricotta & Pear our cold version of the Cheesecake. Since is a tipical Easter Dessert unfortunately we ran out the pastiera because all the customers order it between Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch(we prepared a lot of them and didn't expect to sold out). We understand how you feel for going in another restaurant to end up your meal. Hope you understand how busy was this weekend and will give us another chance and most important we hope that you enjoyed the rest of the food. Please let us know if you have anything else to clarify. Best regards, Giuseppe

    Really authentic Italian restaurant. Has both real Italian and " American" Italian options. All well priced. Pizzas are AMAZING!! Pastas are killer. Have to try the Bucatini Carbonara made with real guanchale ! Dry aged ribeye was awesome . Nicely priced wine list. Also try the zucchini flowers!!

    Our favorite new go-to place. We have taken numerous friends and relatives, and San Matteo never disappoints. The menu is extensive, the food is delicious, the pastas homemade, the wine list impressive without requiring a home equity loan. Outdoor dining is wonderful, and the service is first rate. (Kudos to our server, Michael.) Great meals and a lovely setting at a reasonable price point.
