Excellent Food, Service, and Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. I've tried dishes from both the brunch and all-day menus, and they have all been outstanding. Specifically, the housemade jam, crespelle, milk bread bun, arugula & apple salad, lumache pasta, and chocolate torta were all delicious.
I've never had a bad dish here. The servers were super friendly, and the ambiance was quiet and relaxing.

Disappointing Pesto and Salty Chicken
My experience at the restaurant was largely disappointing. The green pesto was just 'meh', lacking any real flavor. The chicken skewer was excessively salty, making it difficult to enjoy.
I don't recall the other pasta dish, but it wasn't good either.

Amazing Food, Minor Bruschetta Issue
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive! We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. The food was great, with the pasta, salad, skewers, and tiramisu being particularly amazing.
The only minor miss for me was the bruschetta, which was a bit oily. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. It was a quiet and easy place to talk during our lunch.
The food itself was rated a 4.

Understaffing Ruins a Beautiful Space
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to significant understaffing. On a Sunday morning prime time, there was only one person working the front of house. As expected, we had to wait forever, even for water.
We also noticed many people waiting at the front for a long time before leaving. The food seemed to be rush-prepared, suggesting the back of house was also understaffed. While the space itself is beautiful, the restaurant needs to hire more people to make us want to return.

Mixed Experience with Pasta and Service
My experience at the restaurant was just okay. We ordered the pasta pie, but it was unfortunately cold in the middle, suggesting it wasn't warmed up sufficiently. On a positive note, the little gem salad was pretty good, and another pasta dish we ordered was thankfully warm.
My main complaint regarding service was that my partner's dinner arrived about 10 minutes before mine, which felt like an odd timing. While he was kind enough to share, this could be awkward for a first date or business dinner.

Amazing Dinner at Mattina!
My experience at Mattina was amazing. The strawberry bruschetta, lamb/octopus skewers, and chocolate tarte dessert were definite highlights. You truly can’t go wrong with any of the pastas.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, and Chef Matt is killing it!

Neighborhood Gem with Huge Portions!
My first time dining here was a fantastic experience. Every dish was delicious and thoughtfully executed. The portions were also HUGE!
We greatly enjoyed the friendly and attentive service. This is truly a neighborhood gem in a pretty competitive area.

Mattina: A Favorite Spot for All Occasions
Mattina has become one of our favorite spots, and we just keep coming back. The food is amazing, the staff is warm and friendly, and we’re always greeted with a smile. Chef Matt keeps coming up with incredible dishes that always hit the spot.
I can’t recommend this place enough for a casual lunch, a dinner to impress someone, or even just coffee and a pastry. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic Mother's Day Meal!
My experience at the restaurant for Mother's Day was excellent. We had a great meal with fantastic food that was also reasonably priced. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was also rated highly.
My personal favorite was the pistachio donut, which I enjoyed so much I didn't even get a picture!
