Simply amazing!! Best pizza we ever had! Everything we ordered was perfect. The favors and the service are exquisite. Best choice for a true Italian experience. My young daughters couldn’t wait to get home how amazing everything was. Can’t wait to be back and try everything in the menu. Great atmosphere, clean, friendly staff and super delicious food ❤️💚🤍

We are on vacation in Tampa and we must say that our most favorite dining experience has been Matteo's Trattoria! Great Italian food, great ambiance and great service! My daughter and I were there on Monday evening and we both ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pasta. It was delicious. You can tell that the noodles are handmade! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. Excellent! The warm crusty bread with the olive tapanade was a good compliment to the pasta dish. We decided that we must try their Tiramisu. It was the best we have tasted, even better than in Venice! Our server, Joel, was very friendly, attentive, menu knowledgeable and professional. In other words, he was great! The ambiance was wonderful and the people dining there seemed very happy. The seating was comfortable and cozy. Decor was on point. A place you want to return to. We were surprised to learn that it was Monday Madness there, which meant all dishes were 50% off!! No wonder it was packed with happy people, including us! Parking was easy and there was wheelchair accessible parking as well as entrance.

Their food is spectacular! I can't remember our waiters name but he was amazing as well and hilarious! He made our dinner even more enjoyable. He had the boxers fracture and was all splinted up! ❤️ Amazing ambiance, food, people... We love traveling from palm harbor just to eat dinner there!

Thomas Coleman

What a man amazing dining experience I had here! The waitress Vanessa, was very welcoming and pleasant to us and other parties. She was very helpful in making our dinner choices as well with very good suggestions on everything on the menu! The food was prepared to order with fresh ingredients that delighted my taste buds! I had the chicken Marsala which was rich and flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Overall great food and experience!

Rick Scolaro

I've visited this wonderful Italian eatery a few times now and the experience has been a consistent top notch delivery of food and service alike. Arriving there, I was always greeted with a smile and appreciated the prompt attention by the hostess, MARIA. During this visit, my friend and I enjoyed a great meal of pasta, pizza, and chocolate cake. The first time I had the ravioli there, I was a little disappointed at the ratio of raviolis/dollar, but with a quick comment to ASHTON, this was corrected by giving me a couple extra at no charge. I never felt I had a small portion from that point forward and always order my go-to dish with a smile. Parking is a little cramped, but they did offer free valet service, which was nice. The space was always clean and has plenty of seating for dinner. As a person with Sicilian heritage, they do a great job creating Italian dishes. I highly recommend Matteo's for Tampa residents and visitors to my beautiful city.

Cute restaurant off MacDill with fresh made pasta and pizza. We came in a Monday night, where they have their Monday Madness special which is 50% off dine in purchases. We ordered the following: Foccacina, Eggplant roll ups, meatballs, matteo chopped salad, gnocchi Alfredo, gnocchi with shrimp, pasta bolognese, ravioli, and their house pinot noir. Least favorite was the ravioli and the salad, both were plain and lacked flavor. Top were the eggplant roll ups, gnocchi with shrimp, and bolognese. I would definitely come back and try some more.

Jacklyn Wilson

My boyfriend and I come here every Monday for the 50% off and we love it here! Joel always exceeds our expectations as well as the rest of the crew the food is amazing and our drinks never get low definitely recommend coming here for a date night or any night in general.

Madelynne Bell

Really good food, we got pesto dishes and I added chicken to mine. Good service, the bread was also delicious. It's a relaxing restaurant to dine in, and I'd love to visit again!

Callie S

The best Italian food in Tampa Bay Area! The service, experience and food are unparalleled. If you can order the pasta in the cheese wheel you absolutely have to. It’s the best food I have ever had. The house Pinot Noir is phenomenal as well! We’ve also tried the eggplant appetizer, several different types of pizza, salmon and the chicken parmigiana and all were great! Highly recommend!

Bill S

I can use one word to describe the food and service at Matteo Trattoria & Pizzeria. Outstanding! No one in our party had a negative thing to say about anything to do with the meal or the great wait staff. This was our first visit to the restaurant. Together my mom, sister, and I shared a huge chef salad. The romaine was crisp and the salad had the perfect amount of dressing. I had the Chicken Alfredo. The first thing I noticed was the delicious taste of the pasta. It was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was an excellent. The proper creamy consistency and delicious. My mom had the lasagna. It was a huge square and very tasty. A great combination of meats and cheeses. My sister had a salmon dish. She said the chef cooked it perfectly and she loved the sauce and vegetables. A return visit is guaranteed so we can try other dishes. Oh. One more huge plus. Their unadvertised, but obviously known by the customers, huge Monday discount. We got there early. 5ish on a Monday. We were seated immediately. Within 30 minutes a waiting list had formed, if you wanted to sit inside. Another important thing. Matteo Trattoria is open on Mondays. Most non-chain restaurants in the area are closed. They have takeout and delivery, too. With 2 premium alcoholic beverages you will probably spend $50 plus tip. More depending on salads and entrees. Enjoy!!

This was my second visit... Alone with my laptop sitting at the bar.... Liked it so much the week before for a friend s bd dinner, I returned... solo... as I could not find a willing dinner companion. The good thing is that I ordered shamelessly... And the kind bartender saved my salad by suggesting dressing on the side ! Most generous portions which became lunch on the morrow! I shall return!!!

Liz Dunn

This has become one if our favorite local Italian restaurants. The food is all around really good! Large appetizer portions, some yummy wines to choose from. He loves the Veal & I have the hardest rime choosing which sauce to pick for my gnocchi, every time picking a different but equally delicious flavor 🥰 Cannot wait to go back & definitely recommend

Carla Mincey

Casual-Chic atmosphere and delicious food. Waiter, Bradley was personable, attentive and pleasant to talk with. I live in the Seattle area and had a great conversation with the couple sitting next to me and the guy used to live there. His father was in the military and we shared stories of the changes over the years. Small world, turns out we were in the same areas in Germany too! There are still really good people in the world. If you read this review, thank you for the warm conversation, laughs and well wishes for my mother who is experiencing health challenges. Live ~ Love ~ Laugh

Diana Hechavarria

Colton Myeres is by far the most attentive server I have ever encountered. Monday Madness is soooo busy here (entrees are half off) but you would never know it when he takes care of you. The food is exceptional here for family homemade. I highly recommended you come here and ask for Colton!

David Day

Friendly service. Football on the TV if you're interested, but plenty of places to sit where no football was shown. The pizzas are smoothed in toppings. They say the pizzas are individual sized, but they are big enough to share between two people. The bread and tapenade are free, but you don't need it (unless you want to save it to mop up your pasta sauce). Oh... and when they are busy, there is additional parking (after 6pm) at the cleaners across the side street (to the north).

Suzann Mae

Great food and great staff! Probably one of the best arancini balls I've had. I'm not huge on olives but this dip was yummy too. The ONLY complaint I have is the carbonara was just a wee bit too heavy for me, absolutely delicious, but I prefer it lighter and not so dense. We will absolutely be going back.

Samantha Enda

So yummy! We both got pizza and it was delicious! The crust was particularly good, the perfect thin crust without being crispy. It's very pretty inside too - a lot more upscale than I was expecting from the 2 second search to find a highly rated restaurant for dinner!

Ricky Cox

This review is based on five visits over the past several months. First and foremost: the food is absolutely amazing. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more authentic Italian pizza in all of Tampa! However, service is usually pretty second-rate, at best. The average time it takes to receive your drinks after being seated is approximately ten minutes. Remember, this is an average: one time it was only a few minutes, and one time the drinks didn’t come until the food was on the table! (That’s not a joke!) The management of this restaurant may need to re-train their existing servers. If it wasn’t for the fire 🔥🔥🔥 food, I probably wouldn’t come back.

Jane Brun

The food was delicious with homemade pasta. The prices were reasonable.

Ellen H.

Beautiful ambiance, delicious and well-crafted food, and awesome service. Vanessa made the experience lovely by being such a kind presence while providing excellent service. Looking forward to many more visits.

Karen T Nicotra

Great dinning atmosphere with excellent service and presentation of food was excellent. Matteo's has super delicious food and coffee.

Mark Guenther

My new favorite restaurant! The food is so fresh and tasteful! Just like homemade as much of the menu is prepared in house. The restaurant is cozy and extremely clean. As for the service it is at the highest level! It was an outstanding experience and would completely recommend!

Matthew Sorsok

Everything from the Caesar salad, pizza, and veal was delicious. The tiramisu was nothing special though.

Kat

Absolutely delicious! The calamari is perfectly fried and the carbonara makes me wish it was a never ending bowl. We got takeout and everything managed to stay fresh and delicious, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu 🤤

Kristen Molinaro

WOW WOW WOW! The food is absolutely delicious. Service was quick and attentive. We were a party of 4 and started with the Aracini to share. The sauce was delicious. The balls were a little cold on the inside but still would order these again. The bread and dipping sauce was craveable. We all ordered different pastas and enjoyed them. (Can’t wait to go back and try gnocchi next time!) And the cannolis were a perfect treat for dessert.

Nikhil Patel

Something about their pizza. Carbonara was fabulous also. Caccio e pepe was will done. Star is amazing. Cute little place.

Lyn P

The food is great! Service could be better.

Raquel V

Orichiette pasta so delicious! Prepared table side with freshly shaved truffle flakes on top. Definitely recommend. I thought the truffle was going to be too poignant but it was just perfect.

Britt Moore

Easily the best Italian restaurant in the city. Very happily surprised by everything and the sangria is definitely top 3 in Tampa. Probably the best tiramisu I've had

Rania Abdo

Perfect portion, delicious pizza, salad and home made pasta fresh daily ... definitely coming back for more gnocchi and pizza

Elbimster

Very happy with this place! I went there with another person. While I very much enjoyed everything, the highlight for me was the Focaccia bread appetizer. I added on the mozzarella. I expected a few pieces of focaccia, which would've been fine, but they basically brought out a small pizza! And it was DELICIOUS! Makes me excited to get a full pizza there! We also got the calamari and gamberi fritti appetizer, which was really good. Nice light fry, not greasy. Very tasty! For a main, I got spaghetti Bolognese. On the menu it's paparadelle Bolognese, but I'm not a big paparadelle fan and they were happy to substitute the pastas. Sounds like they'll do that on most pasta dishes. They can do a sort of custom pasta dish if you ask, but you need to be very specific about what you want. They'll prepare exactly what you ask for, even if you meant something different, so be very careful in your wording. Details matter.

Alicia Dawson St Pete Realtor

Absolutely delicious! I’m gluten free and this did not disappoint! Service was great as well.

Barbara A

Good food. Ashton is amazing - so customer focused and attentive to the needs of the customer! She gives the restaurant a local/community feel. I do not know how she multi tasks so many responsibilities and at the same time provides excellent customer service!!! We continue to return because of her commitment and welcoming nature. Also, shout out to Vanessa! Thank you Ashton!

Lawrence Thompson

Monday's are a special price, which is great but you can't make a reservation as it so popular. Love the pizza.

Buster Levin

We enjoyed a wonderful meal there along with great service. Definitely Palma Celia Living at its best.

Brittany Moore

Food is always amazing. Staff is super nice. The tiramisu is stellar

Adriano Carelli

Amazing Italian food and Neapolitan Pizza. This is the best brick oven pizza in the Tampa area and a restaurant that will quickly become a hotspot for Italian food lovers. On a different level . Highly recommended by someone born and raised in Italy

Bernadette Blauvelt

This place is a Must! Food was amazing and our server Vanessa was simply the best.

Dawid Strucinski

Update: I went back to try some dishes with my wife this time and to be quite honest, I was not blown away. It seems like the quality of the cooking has gotten a little worse since the first time we went. The first go, I was quite impressed, this time I felt a little underwhelmed. Atmosphere, Taste and Food Everything needed in a Really Good Restaurant When my wife and I both went into the restaurant we were shocked at how nice and comfortable the environment is. For our appetizer we ordered a margarita pizza and finished it, no lie, in 2 minutes. The sauce was delectable and the pizza crust was light. Out of all the different pizza places that I ate in Tampa, this is one of the best. When we ordered our pasta entrees they too were perfection. The sauce was delicious on both of our meals and we will most certainly be back. If you are in the area give this place a try, this is an authentic Italian restaurant.

Matthew Landon Heller

Lovely,,,,,,, on a Monday. Hailing from LA, this otherwise rather uninspiring albeit tasty Italian chain is on a bizarre reverse manifest destiny offering 50% off of select menu items... Monday’s only. The pizza was tastefully blackened and well appreciated. We were welcoming of the $10/ plate up charge for each dish that the Chinese truffles were applied to table side however it was just for optics because they were truly flavorless.

John Reisinger

Matteo may be the best of reasonably priced, fine Italian dining/cuisine in South Tampa. With a full liquor bar, great craft beer selections and an extensive wine list, you can't go wrong at Matteo's.

Tampa Rob

Wow. What an awesome new restaurant. Went on first night they opened. Greeted by Nando the owner. Sat at the bar. Bartender was pleasant and attentive. Ambience is very cool, laid back but sophisticated. Menu is a nice selection of Pizza, Pasta and Entrees. Extensive wine and beer selection too. Had to try the obligatory Calamari appetizer and it was plentiful and so delicious...even found a few juicy fried shrimp in there as well. Decided to have a pizza and selected the Calabrese Sausage and it was excellent. You can tell the sauce was made from fresh tomatoes, not too sweet not too spicy. Will definitely be back to try more items. Highly recommend.

Laura Darrow Frost

Our first night out meeting friends -mask free. So, we felt awkward. All was well. Seating hostess offered optional tables. Audrey was lovely, helpful and patient. Lots of different servers helping. Food was good. We’ll be back! Yay & Yummy!

M E

This is my 2nd time dining here ... first time had the Pappardelle Bolognese, it was excellent ... this time had the Strozzapreti Della Casa, it was even better ... clean/modern decor and very friendly staff ... new favorite Italian Restaurant in S. Tampa ...

Dsmilez23

The food was delicious and fresh. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

Vince Palmieri

I’ve been waiting for months and they finally opened yesterday! I’m very selective on food and I can say with no doubt that these guys are the real deal. From the real napolitan pizza to the super delicious “orecchiette with truffle” in a casual yet elegant venue you will find everything you need for a great food experience. I’d recommend it to anyone whom loves Italian food. Congrats guys!

Chas Kelly

Was visiting friends in Tampa and they suggested we go to this new place. We sat at the counter in front of the wood burning pizza oven and not only had some of the best pizza I've had but had the pleasure of watching Massimo prepare the pizzas. We had a Margarita pizza - fabulous! Obviously use high quality ingredients. All of the pastas are made from scratch - my friends can't wait to work through every dish! For me this is another reason to visit Tampa.

Faith Kubicki

Possibly the best Italian food this side of Italy! Every single thing on the menu, from the pizzas to the pastas, came out perfect. The truffle pasta in the cheese wheel is mind-blowingly indulgent and worth every bite. Plus a super friendly staff...happy to have them in the neighborhood!

michael burruano

Excellent food, staff and environment! My girlfriend (who’s from Northern Italy) and I have been here several times and we both love the food. She talked with the co-owner (in Italian) who’s also a chef there during our last visit. He informed her that all the chefs are from/ and trained in Italy. You can’t get more authentic than that!

Marylib Triplett

Attentive service, perfectly cooked sea bass, melt-in-your-mouth roasted rosemary potatoes, fresh crusty bread, and interesting Italian wines... what more do you want? A gratis chocolate pastry for dessert? A delightful experience. We’ll be back!

Argie Miller

Always wonderful, staff is friendly and accommodating. Food is unique yet traditional and always to perfection. If your tired of the same old Italian dishes I highly recommend Matteo's.

Sam Lastres

Very good Italian good with half off all food on Mondays. I recommend pasta de la casa and pizza. Focaccia and yummy tapenade are free of charge. The place Has a fun and lively vibe. House wine is decent and $9 per glass.

Linda Gomez

Our first time to Matteo's and we enjoyed our pizzas they were absolutely delicious!! It brought back memories of when we lived in Italy. We will definitely be back to try their delicious food. The service was great too !❤

Ashley Noplis

Last night was our first time ordering from here. We ordered pizza to go and it was delicious. We were looking at the menu online after we had the pizza and can't wait to dine in and try more food.

Yanira Teitelbaum

Something for the whole family! From traditional Italian pasta dishes to table side pasta service with freshly shaved truffles and let’s not forget the yummy pizza! This place is top notch!

Sunshine Zenko

Love this place first time going. Food and service were awesome. Had the grouper special and it was delicious. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, one thing that woulda made it 5 stars is if the chief came out and gave everyone some love. We will def be back!!

Alison Luebbert

Great neighborhood spot! Staff is super friendly and attentive, wine selection is great, and the pasta is fantastic. Our favorites are the mushroom gnocchi and carbonara.

Linleigh Hendry

I have eaten here at least three times and it is consistently delicious., but my favorite dish on the menu is the Cheese Wheel, they make it table-side and I can honestly say it was one of the BEST meals I’ve ever had!!!! Service is excellent too!!!!

Charles Pflueger

Good service, great menu and reasonable wine pricing. If they would improve selection and inventory of wine on menu Matteo's would be a solid 5.

Michele Young

Nice atmosphere, we had a delicious mediterranean salad with balsamic and pizza without tomato sauce - campagnola(ricotta cheese, spinach, garlic dough walnuts). They have a full bar!

Kim Hall Perez

We love this restaurant! Everything was excellent!

This place has great food and the interior is quite presentable. I had their chicken parm and it was delicious. This place reminds me of BELLA’S on South Howard. Great Italian place for any occasion.
