Matteo's Ristorante Italiano

"I celebrated my birthday with my family in Las Vegas and had dinner at the Italian restaurant Matteo's. All I can say is all the food we ordered is awesomely delicious. The rib eye melts in my mouth and the sea bass is perfectly good and the deserts as well.The lady that serves us is very accommodating. We made a reservation ahead and started our dinner at 5pm. I'm surprised after a while the restaurant is full and there is still a waiting line outside. Amazing!"

"I visited here again. My no.1 choice is definitely handkerchief pasta. I also ordered another menu, and everything was perfect!!! I hope that I must get more basil sauce for the handkerchief pasta next time."

"Started with the house cured salmon which was excellent. The steak tartare, although impressive in presentation, fell flat on taste. For mains, we had the short rib agnolotti - again, presentation was gorgeous and the cheese foam was fun, but the short rib was flavorless mush. Prosciutto tortellini with truffles - the sauce was delicious but the tortellini itself was so salty. Lastly we had the chicken with couscous. Chicken was flavorless and dry but the couscous and sauce were good."

"Exquisite! The fresh made pasta was absolutely delicious! The service was a level above perfect. Our server took her time and made sure we had an amazing experience. The ambiance was warm and comfortable. The decor is modern, yet the dining room still has a classic Italian feel. I was able to make a reservation on a Saturday night at 6pm for an 8pm seating with no issue, and the restaurant was busy. Don't miss this place!"

"If, like me, you find it difficult to find good Italian cuisine restaurants in US, put your worries away if you dine at Matteo's inside the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. The menu offers an excellent combination of Italian dishes, whether appetizers, primi or secondi, both with meat and/or fish, as well as great vegan options. Execution is very well done, and you could totally believe you are somewhere in Italy as you savor the delicious food. Arguably, in a place like this, I would like to see something even more memorable and innovative. However, that only means I can't fond enough reasons for 5 stars, when 4 are probably too little. Service is also solid, courteous, and friendly. And staff is well aware of whether you are celebrating a special occasion and make you feel a bit special too. Perhaps the only let down is the atmosphere, as the place is really busy (understandably in a Vegas resort) and noisy (coukd something be done with the design to alleviate that?). Yet, if you don't mind that too much and you are not looking for a candlelight romantic evening, Matteo's is a very solid dining choice. Who knows, you may find me there, because I will definitely come back. I am really eager to try more and possibly change this to a 5 star review."
