While probably not as good as the hype around it suggests, Matteo is a good Italian restaurant for SLC and in a great location. A few comments on the food and service:
1- the service (while a bit slow…was excellent).
2- the pastas, lasagna, risotto, and even the pollo dish are all good, but not great. Sicilia Mia is likely better.
3- The Cesar salad is great…and huge. Definitely a shared salad.
4- Excellent gluten free pasta noodle. I need to figure out where they are getting it. They use a noodle that is quinoa and brown rice and it was both delicious and perfectly cooked.
5- The panna cotta and the lemoncello bread pudding aren’t good and I would suggest skipping entirely. The best panna cotta (by a wide margin) along the Wasatch Front is at Maestra in American Fork.
6-The whipped Brie is excellent and worth getting to share as an appetizer. This has so much buzz, and was the best thing we ate
The GF rolls were good too (though not great).
Overall, I’d
