I did the murder mystery dinner here with a group of friends and it was so much fun! The acting was pretty good, the good was good, and the setting was pretty nice. For spending 4 hours there, the time flew by! The mingling and cocktail hour was very useful for getting to know the others in the crow
Iconic Italian restaurant. Great food and service. A place where people actually dress up for dinner. Loved that gentlemen wore suit jackets and women dresses accordingly. Loved my Elderberry Greyhound. A place were you can have a conversation and not yell over the music. Excellent!!!
I actually came here for a murder mystery dinner. It was a great time. I had the Atlantic salmon which was really good. My girlfriend had the chicken parmigiana which was also tasty. And had some drinks at the bar. I liked this place for their food and ambience. Try it.
Omg happy hour until 930 pm with excellent food choices. We had the meatballs, calamari and olives off the happy hour menu and they were delicious. I'm looking forward to returning to enjoy a meal.
Consistent food quality. Comfortable seating and free parking behind restaurant.
Talk about hidden treasure. Matteos is a perfect throw back joint with authentically prepared Italian dishes and friendly service. You can tell the staff are glad to be a part of this establishment. Come for the generous happy hour and stay for a great meal.
If you want to return to the days of the quiet elegance of the 1960s through the 1980s, treat yourself to a meal at Matteo's. Roomy leather booths, decor that takes you back in time, personalized service and a delicious menu that your taste buds will thank you for. Veal, pasta, seafood, lambchops wi
Absolutely LOVE this place. It's quaint and tucked away over in West LA. The food was amazing, service incredible. And the restaurant itself very nice. Perfect place for a date night.
Great interiors, fabulous history, attentive and friendly service, fantastic food, lovely wines. You don't need more for an evening out. Loved this place and will come back whenever I travel to LA.
Over the past 22-years I’ve had exactly one answer to anyone asking for the best Italian restaurant in Santa Monica (it also is one of three recommendations I give for all of West Los Angeles): Matteo’s. I lived in West Los Angeles for 13-years (1997-2010) and it was a staple (I eat put 4-6 times a
I was a bit skeptical at first as I am Italian and often high prices dont reflect the quality of the food, but this place it is truly delicious and has great service. A nice change from the "usual" restaurants! The Pasta with fresh Tartufo was Yum!! Cocktails and Tagliata di Tonno also very good. Co
Things change. Matteo's doesn't. Much. with the new decor one no longer gets the feeling that Frank Sinatra is about to walk in, but it's fresh and nice, without spoiling the feeling. The menu is a bit limited for people who eat neither fish nor veal.
This is an old classic Italian restaurant that has a happy hour :) the menu is relatively small but everything is good. It's definitely worth checking out.
Wow! This place was amazing -- GREAT for happy hour specials! Great food, great service and great experience. I'll definitely be back.
The food and service are outstanding. This is a very nice place to enjoy the dinner with an authentic Italian mood.
Iconic restaurant steeped with Hollywood history and old-school ambiance. Classic Italian dishes cooked to perfection!
Awesome Italian. Can’t go wrong with the shrimp scampi and you must try the mozzarella marinara. It’s the best.
