Great venue with two moods: the front elegant, cozy, warm. The back a large space, bright, packed, and energetic (hard to have a conversation) like a true Italian restaurant.

It's a good Italian option in DC.

Don't miss the parmigiana di melanzane, a deconstructed unconventional execution that works. Fritto misto lightly fried, delicious!

Good carbonara, with a generous serving of very good guanciale

Grateful to have San Matteo in the neighborhood. Portions are substantial for seriously great homemade pasta — the move is definitely to follow up their amazing happy hour deals (the fried artichoke is top-notch, the $10 cocktails sneakily strong) with one of those pasta dishes. The mafaldine and gnocchi were stellar. Excited to make it part of the regular rotation.
Every dish I tried was exceptional — bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The drinks menu was equally impressive, and the manager personally recommended a few options that paired perfectly with the food. 😋🍝 It felt like a special experience from start to finish. I left completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. For anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine, this place is an absolute must!
