Matteo’s never disappoints… whether a casual dinner out or a special occasion like Christmas Eve tonight it excels. Our server Anthony was attentive, but gave us time to converse and enjoy our meal. Can’t wait to go back. Merry Christmas!!

Buenos Aires is a great place for tapas. The service and staff are very friendly and attentive. They go out of their way to make your dinning experience complete. I also enjoy their selection of salads and they make the best skirt steak. You will not be disappointed. 🥘

We started off with mussels as an appetizer which were very well done; however, they were stingy on the bread only providing one slice. A second piece was eventually provided but the waitress, who was pleasant, pointed out that one order of mussels came with only one piece of bread. The striped bass (special) and steak bits were okay. Our dessert consisted of cappuccino and gelato which was a nice ending.
