Matteo's Italian Restaurant

Oh my gosh…. This place is a dream! Tucked away in a charming old building in the heart of Historic Olmsted Falls! Love this area, it’s so adorable. The food is absolutely legendary! I’ve been here twice in one week! Once for dinner, then today for Sunday brunch. Their crab cakes, are the stuff of legends, seriously! Out of this world. The Caesar salad had excellent flavor. My entree at dinner was beef medallions with truffle oil, risotto and broccolini. It was outstanding! My martinis were perfection. Brunch was a whole ‘nother experience. I had chicken and waffles… I cannot express how phenomenal the flavor profile as well as the texture was with this dish. Chicken AND THE WAFFLE, were flawlessly crunchy/crisp then the waffle was perfectly soft inside. The flavor on the breading and syru

Wonderful Valentines dinner at Mataeo's. Service was so friendly and the food was delicious. I had the Chicken Mataeo, and my husband had the Shrimp Scampi. Love, love, love the sauce on the Chicken Mataeo and my husband was very happy with the Shrimp Scampi. Totally different and welcoming atmosphere under the new ownership, like visiting your Italian aunt's kitchen. Always enjoyed the food but the prior ownership was cold and off-putting. We look forward to going back more frequently now.

The restaurant is situated in a historic area of Olmsted Falls, great place to walk around outside after dinner especially in the warmer months. Reservations are recommended (very easy to do) as the dining area is not very big. Food was delicious & plentiful and at a decent price. Service was very accommodating. Great place to dine as a couple or with friends.

Made a reservation for 6, but ended up having 7 and they were very accommodating even on a busy Friday night. I shared a bottle of wine and for $34 (that price is unheard of it), it was amazing. The bread for the table was warm and soft. I got one of the specials and it was so delicious. The servings are all really big, which leftovers Italian is always yummy. All the entrees come with salad or soup too! Everyone enjoyed their meals.

Jamey is a great waitress. She is attentive, keeps an eye on her customers and will make suggestions as to menu options. The food is tasty and the portions plentiful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy. The music is not overwhelming or too loud. You can definitely carry on a conversation.
