Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

One burger had to be sent back because they forgot the cheese and it came back out still well before the rest of the tables order. My father asked for a drink refill multiple times only to end up getting up and going to the bar to get it himself. But the whole experience was not bad. The burgers were great and juicy. Not sure why they call it a smashburger. There is nothing smashed about it. But the flavor is on point! Largest beer selection I have seen at a restaurant. Large seating area and they do a great job of not cramming in too many tables. They have some couches and a nice outdoor area. We will be back, the food was that good. I will update my rating after I give their service another try.

Pour Destino has great vibes, a wide selection of cocktails, and a well rounded tapas menu consisting of everyone's traditional Spanish favorites such as jamon iberico, patatas bravas, and a rotating daily selection of croquetas. There is a full bar with a television for anyone looking to grab a quick bite or have a night cap and catch the game. There is also comfortable outside seating, which is perfect happy hours or group settings. Service is quick and attentive. Dishes do not have any flashy presentation, but are tasty and have good portions. The two of us left full and satisfied. We received complimentary mini donuts as a birthday dessert. They also were tasty! We ate here for dinner, but they also serve breakfast and lunch, and have a full service coffee bar. We were told they make their own milk. Stopping by for a small bite and a coffee would make for a great pit stop if you are biking or walking down the Prairie Path. Pour Destino is definitely worth checking out!

Plus some of the dishes were a little pricey and I wasn't "Wow'd" by anything, and some portions were small(it is a tapas place). Service was good, but way too attentive. She had came up about 20 times to check on us. I understand clearing plates, or filling water but it was interrupting our conversation the entire time that it became unenjoyable. Like I said, it's worth a try but nothing for me to come back to.

Once we arrived, the hostess could not have been more sweet. She was all smiles and was very welcoming. Our server was just as pleasant. She remembered my friend from previous visits. The room is very comfortable. Dark with a lot of natural tones that create the perfect backdrop for a lovely meal. A couple requests were missed by the bar and kitchen, however our cocktails and meals were still delicious. We loved everything. Overall, we had a very nice dinner and I look forward to my next visit.

After a few minutes, we're brought bread and a nice oil with an olive salad, balsamic and cheese. Excellent start. Except... no waiter or waitress for at least 10 minutes. That's OK. We've got our ice waters. After our drink orders we taken, we were certain after about 15 more minutes that our waitress forgot about us. Not only that... it was extremely hard to get her attention. Finally got our lunch order in and the food was out not too long thereafter. The chicken parm was average. A little too well cooked and burnt on the edges. The cheese, sauce, and pasta were all good. The piccata was also just ok. Perhaps there are other things on the menu that this place does a lot better? I'm hoping so. The restaurant itself was nice with a ton of tables... and not too jam packed. Has a definite Italian feel. The porch/patio is nice with a cover and side walls for when it's cooler or there's weather. For the price point (greater than a $60 lunch for 2 people without alcohol), there are too many other excellent places in the immediate area. Would have to be convinced to come back and try something else.

I read one review that said the place was dark and gloomy. That is not the case at all. The food is outstanding. I had the crispy stuffed chicken.

I tried my friend's meal, Rigatoni Contadina, and it was excellent as well. I just went here last night and I've already told a couple of friends about this place. I'll certainly be visiting again.

Mattone has a pretty standard menu of Italian food like spaghetti. A lot of the familiar. The flavors may not be as good as they used to be so just know that and it will seem like better quality. Certainly the happy hour is the best time to come. It's expensive already so save a few bucks and it makes things quite an improvement. There's a lot of what to expect on the menu. Cocktails and pasta of course. They took forever taking everyone's order and then there was even more waiting. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. They have a few bucks off martinis at the happy hour thankfully. A serious lack of vegetarian choices. There's even salads covered in bacon and pancetta. Has a few weekly specials to check out. It's $20 for the classics specials on Thursdays. Among the options are lasagna and spaghetti. This also comes with a choice of soup so you get lots with this. Actually a pretty filling meal. They can make the spaghetti without meatballs and stuff. Got to say it gets busy. It's only open in evenings. There's limited options for vegetarians.
