“Great atmosphere great food great vibe great service!!!!“

“Walked in on a Saturday evening (on the earlier side), and we were able to get seated at the “chef’s counter.” We started off with drinks at the bar ($10 cocktails from 4-6 PM!), which had a nice vibe, before moving to the chef’s counter right in front of the kitchen. It was nice to be able to see the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and take in the aroma of the various dishes being prepared.

We started with whipped ricotta and fig bruschetta; the balance of savory and sweet made for a nice bite, but some parts of the bread were grilled a bit too long and were burnt. For mains, we had fettuccine with white bolognese and fusilli with basil pesto and spicy sausage. Both pastas were very good. The white bolognese had hints of liver to add to the layers and richness of the flavor. The fusilli had a brighter flavor, with a nice dash of heat from the sausage.

Dessert was torta di formaggio, which ended up being a chocolate cheesecake. The upper shell was hard, which added to great textural contrast. The orange cream also balanced out the decadence of the chocolate.

Service was friendly and informative. The vibe was a bit more fancy than your average neighborhood spot, but not so fancy to be stuffy.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“A wonderful restaurant - delicious food, wine, marvelous service. Thank you“

“What a great experience, we came on a Friday night our first time in New York City celebrating joint mine and my boyfriend’s 21st birthday and also anniversary, this place was incredible. The staff really went above and beyond for us and treated us so well next time we’re in the city we’re definitely returning. They very kindly brang out a lemon sorbet desert for us to on the house. The vibes and the atmosphere of the restaurant are also great. A bit more on the pricier side depending what you get but worth every penny“

I have to start off by saying our waitress, Monica, was wonderful ! She had such an amazing personality, was super friendly and helpful. She gave so many great suggestions of other places to try during our stay which was SO appreciated and helpful. Also, the food by Chef Ian was absolutely wonderful! I had the pan seared chicken which was to die for and the meatball appetizer tasted wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful experience and if we’re in the area again sometime, we will be sure to come here again!“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención un sitio agradable“

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.“

“Absolutely amazing. Julia was our waitress and she was very attentive but not overbearing like others can be. She knew when to come and check on us and when we just wanted to be. Food was as always, delicious.“
