Review summary

What guests say about Gatto Matto

Gatto Matto in Laval stands out as a lively spot with a vibrant atmosphere that is often highly appreciated, and many guests highlight attentive, fast service. The food receives a lot of praise, especially the pizzas, pastas, and certain dishes like the tuna tataki or grilled octopus, but a few reviews mention small portions, inconsistent dishes, and sometimes a high price-to-value ratio. Note: the place can be very noisy and is less ideal for a quiet conversation, especially on busy evenings or before events.

Very mediocre experience. Food took over 45 mins to arrive on a weekday. Was excited to dine at this place but turned out to be a poor experience.

We went without any reservation, but was able to get a table in about 10 minutes. We tried their breakfast lasagna, break pizza and brioche eggs Benny. Food was really good, we really enjoyed. Service and the atmosphere are good. Mistakenly we got served another option instead of lasagna we ordered, however they switched it without any trouble at all. Only downside is that they don't have many options in their brunch menue. After 4 pm they switch to their regular menu. Due to the location, only paid parking is available. But you can find parking within walking distance easily.

The service is what truly made the whole experience really bad. We had booked a two-hour reservation but they started rushing us before we even had the chance to settle in, like our time was already up. Not even 1 hour after, the girl told us to leave in a rude tone because someone had to sit at our place immediately. That’s not what a restaurant is supposed to do, its role is to make you feel welcome and allow you to fully enjoy your experience, not rush you out the door. Afterwards, we simply just went to another place to eat in a better spot. Plus, the food was pretty bland (especially the pesto pasta). Not returning here. Waste of time and money.

I can’t say enough great things about Gatto Matto Laval. We were there this past Friday to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and as always, it was an exceptional experience. We come here often, about once every two weeks and there’s a reason we keep coming back. The service is consistently outstanding, with plenty of attentive staff who make you feel truly taken care of. The atmosphere is perfect: lively with great background music or a DJ, yet still comfortable enough to enjoy conversation at your table. Everything was spot on from the food to the overall vibe. It’s one of those rare places that delivers every single time. A big shout out to Shawn for always taking such great care of us—courteous, professional, and genuinely welcoming. And one detail that really makes a difference, especially in Montreal winters: the free underground parking. It makes the whole experience that much more convenient, no matter the weather. Highly recommended. This is definitely one of our go-to spots! Tom & Dayanna

The waiter was great the bartender is amazing with the cocktails I asked for less of the other veggies for more Brussels sprouts and they made the exception for us. The platter was fresh, the lobster needed a more potent sauce bu there's a sweet creamy sauce that came with the Brussels sprouts so goooooodddd The overall quality 👌🏽

The staff were very nice but the portion of pasta here is very small. You also need to pay to slice your cake.

I visited Gatto Matto after a round of virtual golf with a few friends, and overall, it was a very positive experience. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. The staff was attentive across the board—from the hostess who seated us, to our waiter, to the team members who regularly checked in, refilled water, and kept our wine topped up. One staff member in particular (I unfortunately didn’t catch her name) was especially attentive and made sure everything was running smoothly at our table. They were also patient and accommodating while we waited for friends who were delayed due to traffic and parking issues following the letout of the Laval Rockets hockey game at Place Bell. The only downside on the service side was the two-hour table limit, which, while understandable on a busy Saturday night, did add a bit of pressure to the evening. As for the food, we started with the salmon tartare and grilled octopus—both were well-prepared and flavorful. For mains, my wife had a Pizza Burrata and I had a pasta with guanciale meat, which one of my friends also ordered. The dishes were good, though I found the pasta portion a bit small, especially considering the price. That said, pricing is generally in line with what you’d expect for pasta in Montreal. The wine selection was decent but nothing remarkable. Like most restaurants, prices start around $50 per bottle, and while acceptable, the quality didn’t quite match the cost—I’ve had better at that price point. We also looked into the meat platter, which ranges from roughly $150 to $180 for two to three people. While it includes premium items like lobster tails and shrimp, it still feels expensive compared to similar platters at smokehouse-style restaurants. Overall, the food was good, the service was excellent, and the experience was enjoyable. It’s on the pricier side, but still a place I would return to. Rating: 4/5

Music is very loud, the pizzas are very oily and they gave me back my birthday cake cut in pieces all smashed up and in small separate boxes, they also did not give back the box of candles I gave them with the cake.
