Mattiello's - Denver

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was great. The tiramisu was fabulous. Although the white spinach pizza mentioned on Yelp was not on the menu, I inquired about it and they were kind enough to make it for me.

This restaurant is as authentic as it gets! It's a real taste of NYC/NJ Italian cuisine right here in Denver. The family staff is great, and you can enjoy a delicious meal with their support. It's incredibly kid-friendly and the prices are reasonable, around $10-20 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive top marks. Recommended dishes include the Baked Ziti and Gnocchi.

To all you folks in NC from a Via Emilia regular from New York: you have absolutely no idea how lucky you are and how much we miss William’s cooking. His New York restaurant was our go-to Italian for many years (and that’s something, given the embarrassment of choice for Italian in NYC), and the food the ambiance the whole thing was always amazing.

Looking for a place to have dinner on a Friday night? Matty-O's is a great option. While reservations are recommended, we had no trouble walking in early on a Friday. The staff, though young, was very kind and attentive, which was refreshing. Here are my three highlights: 1) The cracker-thin bread served at the table was perfectly seasoned with a mixture of butter, salt, and garlic. It was so good that my wife had to ask me to move it away from her. The staff brings it out with your drinks. 2) There are 4-5 different types of lasagna to choose from, and as an old-school guy, I went for the Lasagna North Carolina. The serving was huge, well layered, and seasoned perfectly. It paired well with the bread. 3) We also got a couple of pizzas for our kids to share, but they looked so good that my wife and I kept picking at them. The rustic crust was lightly brushed with marinara and topped with just the right amount of toppings. This restaurant did a great job representing Northern Italy in our suburban area, and we will definitely be returning for the delicious food and great service.
