Last night, we went to the restaurant with a reservation of 7 people. We arrive and the hostess is trying to fit 3 men and 4 women in a 6 person booth, that’s right infront of the dj booth, next to the area where servers are constantly passing for utensils and croutons. We asked to sit at the table across, and the hostess goes “no it’s only for 8 people” she then says she can put a chair at the end of the booth or sit us on bar stools when we had a disabled person coming with us. The hostess tried multiple times to say “the booth is for 7 people” meanwhile other staff members that served us water were coming to us asking “are you 6 tonight?” Which clearly means the restaurant was trying to squeeze another person in the booth. I proceeded to point out to her that 3 other guests were sitting in the same style of booth that she wanted to seat us at were shoulder to shoulder and looks uncomfortable. The hostess proceeds to call me rude after she tried to gaslight me into accepting a high traffic table area while squeezing in an extra person at the booth. Thank god we didn’t eat there as I enjoyed a nice dinner else where, where I actually at elbow room to enjoy my meal. This restaurants strong point isn’t food, it’s clearly aesthetic and vibes, so by trying to shove 7 people in a very small booth it automatically ruined the experience.

I’ve NEVER been this satisfied with a restaurant in my life.Our waitress was above and beyond honestly such a sweetheart .We started with fried calamari as an appetizer 10/10 it was so good. We were scared at first because of the light color.We were pleasantly surprised.We followed with our waitress suggestion which was a shared platter 10000/10.A must try.The meat was seasoned to perfection the sides were so good.I’m definitely going back.We took litchi martinis even they were amazing.

I had a very frustrating experience trying to book my bridal shower here. I initially met with a manager to discuss hosting the event. She gave me the menu, and I told her I would be bringing my own cake, so dessert would be removed. She then made up an estimated price on the spot and said she would confirm with the owner. Weeks went by with no response, despite multiple attempts to follow up. When I finally called again, a different manager gave me a completely different price and said she would also need the owner’s approval. Once again, no one ever got back to me. To make things worse, I was told two different prices for cake cutting — one staff member said $8, another said $4. This shows a lack of consistency and professionalism. Overall, this place feels very disorganized, with poor communication and prices that seem to change depending on who you speak to. It made me very uncomfortable trusting them with an important event like a bridal shower. On top of that, portions are extremely small for the price, wine is expensive despite being a lower-end brand, and the staff does not seem experienced in managing private events. I would not recommend this place for hosting events, and I’m glad I decided not to move forward.

This review is about how to screw up a nice experience for $1.50. The service we received was very good. The food we received was ok. I ordered a pasta with tomato sauce and I asked for bread. I shouldn't have to ask in an Italian restaurant, but I had to. The bread I received was terrible. Let's not forget this is supposed to be a decent italian restaurant. The 2 slices of bread were like melba toast. Hard with no substance. The kicker is that we spent almost $250 for a meal for and they had the hutspa to charge us $1.50 for those 2 lousy pieces of bread. We have averaged 2 visits a month over the past year or so but they won't be seeing my money any time soon. This was the true meaning of PENNY WISE & POUND FOOLISH not too say very insulting......

A great place to go to eat, atmosphere, service and food is on point. The price is a tad expensive but with the food, atmosphere and service it's worth it.

We went to Gatto Matto for my boyfriend’s birthday and overall it was a really great experience. The food was honestly so good, like actually worth the hype. Everything we tried tasted amazing and was well done. The vibe is definitely lively. It does get pretty loud, so it’s not the best spot if you’re looking to have long, quiet conversations, but if you enjoy a more energetic atmosphere, it works really well. It kind of feels like a mix between a club and a restaurant, but with genuinely good food. The place itself is super aesthetic, and even the bathrooms are really cute, which just adds to the whole experience. Overall, it’s a really nice spot for celebrations, birthdays, or a fun night out if you want good food and a vibrant atmosphere.

Went to Gatto Matto before a concert and it was packed but somehow the service was still super quick. The vibe in there is amazing, really cool atmosphere. Food was seriously tasty, drinks were great, and prices were better than I expected. Huge shoutout to Charles our waiter, he was awesome. Super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the night better. Definitely coming back for brunch sometime soon!

The food was ok, I think they're trying too hard to be 'different' Italian. Italian food has to be comforting and the flavours need to do the talking. I would say the food was a little on the salty side (but that could be me). We were a party of 6 and there was no conversation at our table. The music was far too loud to carry out any conversation. I asked of there was a dance floor and to my surprise - there wasn't?! Which leads you to wonder; why such loud pulsating music? Our server had a good sense of humour while dealing with the very long wait times for our drinks and later food. We arrived at 8 and left at 10:30, with ringing ears and a good idea of what would drive a cat crazy.

Expensive for what it is. I ordered a carbonara for $31 and the portion was surprisingly small. When I asked for some bread to go with my pasta, they told me it would cost an extra $7. Honestly, that’s ridiculous. An Italian restaurant charging for bread? Bread should be a given when you’re ordering pasta.

We went to Gato Matto for dinner in a Friday at 5:30 p.m. right before John Legend's show. The perfect evening started with the perfect dinner experience. We order: calamari, delicious crispness, well seasoned, octopus season to perfection, fillet mignon cooked medium, once again perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, mushroom ravioli were creamy, pasta cooked at the perfect point. This was an amazing, delightful dinner with every single dish tasting perfect. It was our first time, but not our last for sure ! The only criticism we have is the place is well decorated, but they dressed the female waiters in a very reveling outfit, the clothes don't match in any way the environment, definitely not what I was expecting, maybe they will see that families dinning might feel uncomfortable with their clothing choice for their female staff. The waiter that served us was extremely polite, efficient, pleasant.
