First time visit to Mattone Ristorante, celebrating our 55th anniversary. The staff were warm, friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We selected two salads - beet and Caesar, a pesto gnocchi, veal with spinach, mushrooms, mashed potatoes and gravy. The veal was tender and very tasty. The building is unassuming from the outside but was very pleasant inside. The music was pleasant and low enough to be able to hear conversation.
