Came back after all these years and the food quality hasn't changed. Big portions meant for sharing, flavorful and the sauce is thick and not watered down. The service was amazing my waiter Diego was extremely attentive and efficient. Highly recommended for family style Italian food.

Food was good Service is great Portions are large Great atmosphere Will return frequently read more

Matteo's is consistently delicious. The salad is crisp and fresh. The macaroni dishes are well seasoned and perfectly al dente. Their veal is tender and fabulous. But the stuffed artichokes! That's the highlight. The owners and service staff are friendly, happy, and attentive. The ambience is nice. My only negative comment are the bathrooms. I prefer separate bathrooms for men and women. read more

The food is usually pretty good. Last night's meal was subpar. Fried calamari were cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning along with the sauce for the calamari. read more

Food was very good. Service was excellent. The ambiance was good. My pasta came out a little too hard at first but then they changed it right away and didn't take long at all, it was very delicious. I will definitely be coming back read more

Matteo's Bellmore - Italian Near Me - Bellmore, New York

Was there a few weeks ago and the Mozzerlla sticks were literally still ice cold in the middle and the calamari wasn't dark enough either. Common guys. Do it right all the time please. Service was good but food was mediocre. read more

Food was good! Was at Matteos for a baby shower; the food was served family style and everyone enjoyed it. They also have good cocktails/wine and coffee. read more

Always outstanding food and service, not only delicious but always generous servings.

Had a family dinner last night at Matteo's in Bellmore. Since they don't take reservations, I arrived about 5:30 and it was empty. The rest of the group was seated by 5:50pm and the crowd picked up by 7pm. The food was very good. The stand outs for me were the Baked Clams (delicious,the sai Uce needed to be mopped up with some bread), stuffed artichoke (large and well done), Chicken Francese ( thin cutlets with a great lemon punch) and the Bucatini Amatriciana (so enjoyable); everyone loved everything we ordered. A family style meal was too chaotic to get any pictures though. Service was friendly, however the food took a long time to come out...we didn't leave there until almost 9pm. So not a place for a quick meal, but definitely a good one. read more

What a spectacular restaurant and ambience. Every time I'm in Long Island I love to go and make a point to find my way there.

Food was average. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The ambiance was very nice as well. read more

So the hype isn't for me!! My husband raves about Matteo's but the penne vodka sauce is almost red. So not ok! I had the baked ziti as well and it was way too much cheese. Not what I had expected. The portions are absolutely huge so you can share each plate between 3-4 people, family size. Overall OK but definitely not top tier Italian. read more

Try the veal it's the best in the city!! I've been getting wined & dined at Matteo's for a long time now & the fried veal sorrentino is still among the best veal in the area!! The Shrimp & clams pasta was a BANGER!! And we can't forget about the homemade whipped cream napoleon........The best napoleon you will ever have at a restaurant!!! read more

Today, my sister's and I went to Matteo's in Belmore for dinner. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Tony (the owner) who walked us to our table to make sure everything was okay. We felt like family, and Josh was also very informative about the menu and the different pastas. He did everything with a smile and with wonderful customer service skills. I highly recommend you come here with your family and/or friends for a wonderful meal and hospitality. read more

Eaten here 8-10 times- the food is fantastic, my favorites are the chopped salad baked clams and linguine with white clam sauce. The service is always very good and a nice atmosphere. read more

Came here with some friends I was here visiting. They recommended this place as they usually get takeout from here quite a bit, although this was their first time dining in here. Came here on a Thursday night around 8:45 pm and got a table right away. The service was fast and friendly. So many great choices on the menu. We ordered up a bunch of family-style plates to share including the chopped salad, zucchini, grilled chicken paillard, penne alla vodka (w/o prosciutto), and the veal chop valdostana. The veal dish was by far the best veal I've ever had anywhere. The tenderness of the cutlet requires perfection when tenderizing and something that not too many places can get right. This place mastered it. Great wine menu here as well. Went through a couple bottles of Rodney Strong Cab which complimented the meal quite nicely. Great place, great atmosphere, and great food. Only thing that could've made it a 5-star would've been a slight improvement on service. There were a couple of times where we had to flag down a server for simple things like more water, more plates, etc. Definitely a place I would visit again though. Highly recommend. I wish they could deliver to my hometown in Florida. read more

Amazing food! They offer half orders and full orders of a majority of their menu. Baked clams are delicious and the sauce was fantastic (homemade bread on the table is perfect for dipping), friend calamari was a little chewy. Then for entrees we did chicken milenase half order, chicken Francese half order, and penne vodka half order. We had so much left overs which we didn't mind! Haha. Highlyyyyy recommend! Drinks were pricey but the food was well worth it! read more

This is my 3rd time coming here, with regards to ordering takeout a few times, and it never disappoints. I came in recently and we ordered baked clams, veal (with mushrooms, wine sauce and mozzarella), linguine with in light red sauce with chopped claims, shrimp and garlic , and shrimp franchise over spinach and chopped cherry peppers. WOW! On top of that we had a bottle of wine. Everything was outrageous. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for great Italian food. Portions are huge so be prepared! read more

Flavorful food, attentive staff and spacious ambience. I went here for a date night and I will definitely return.

The food is great and the people that work there are so nice and helpful. We've eaten there and also placed catering orders from them. Love their eggplant parmigiana and special fish dishes. read more

Been many years since I have been here and now sorry I took so long to return! Food was very good, service excellent. I won't get into much detail on what to order, as all we got was enjoyed so feel free to order at will; however, the crowd favorites were the Chicken francese, Baked Clams, pasta dishes, and of course the kids loved the hot antipasto items. Need to head here with a crowd though, and although 'Family Style', the half-portions are not that large. I still am not a fan of rugs at restaurants though...thats my only critique but place is very clean, food excellent, and service even better! read more

My sister and I hosted a shower for my niece here and it was fantastic. My guests loved the food, said it was delicious and were stuffed. Tony and staff were so accommodating, helping us set up our decorations and getting everything ready. They helped us have a wonderful, smoothly run party, that as the hosts we were able to enjoy. I can't say enough about them and highly recommend Matteo's. read more

Matteo's Bellmore - Our favor table - Italian Near Me - Bellmore, New York

This is one of the best local restaurants to have a party. I held my daughter's bridal shower here in 2019 and just had an 80th birthday party here for my father-in-law the other night. The service is outstanding and so is the food--they're extremely generous with their family-style way of serving and don't be surprised if you take home some leftovers (I'm Italian--it's extremely important to me that food doesn't run out on my guests)! Best of all, I don't even think the pricing has changed much since 2019--a rarity in this day and age. They always include house red and white wine with every package, too! Keri dealt with my crazy emails and made sure everything was perfect--a consummate professional at what she does! And our server Brian should teach a class on how to be an all-around, friendly, attentive master of his craft! All the other waitstaff were friendly and accommodating and the owner Tony even came by a few times to see how things were going. This place WANTS to give you a great party and will do everything they can to ensure your party is perfect. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Great place to get authentic Italian food. However, the portions are way too big for each individual. Overall, however, the food was awesome, and service was nice throughout the evening. If you're willing to take some food home, definitely swing by. read more

Meh, Iowa Italian at its finest. The bread and bruschetta were the highlight of the meal--foodwise, all downhill from there. Very average Italian (contrast that with Dario's in RVC, which is very good Italian). My friends shared the baked clams and enjoyed it. The veal parmigiana was smothered in cheese, very thin, and brown--which tells me they use veal patty instead of actual veal. The penne pomodoro, which one has to order separately as everything is served a la Carte, had a sauce that tasted like it was straight from a supermarket bought commercial brand jar--virtually no flavor. I would pass on this place as there are better options. 2.5 Stars. read more

Excellent food and service. We also had a christening party at the Bellmore location that went flawless. Everything we were served was cooked perfect with wonderful taste.

Admittedly, Italian food is not my first choice of cuisine. However the food we took out tonight for my fiancés fathers birthday was very good. The staff was helpful and accommodating. Upon walking in I was greeted by tons of happy customers. All seemingly "real deal" Italians which can't be a bad sign, right? The culture and camaraderie came oozing from the dining room! We ordered several dishes- generous portions- we have food for weeks! Of them all the burnt veggies (I know, I know) were my favorite. The pastas were very good as well. Again, not an Italian fanatic but if you're looking for a reliable and crowd-pleasing caterer, Matteo's could be your spot! read more

Place has gone downhill big time. Not sure what happened but the food quality and service is just awful

Service was bad. Our dinner took 1 1/4 hr to arrive. We complained after an hour and the food arrived 15 mins. later. The sangria was weak, tasted like juice. The food was average, not delicious. Don't waste your time on this place read more

Food is always good. unfortunately last night we ordered the veal and received a bad piece. Waiter didn't realize two bites were eaten. it's hard to blame since they are so short handed read more

7/23/16 - We waited a long time to be greeted. It was 6:00pm on Saturday and the restaurant was only 1/3 to capacity. So I didn't understand the delay in being seated. And to make matters worst, the host was far from friendly and welcoming. In spite of this, Matteo's came so highly recommended that I needed to experience this amazing food for myself. I was excited and intrigued. My mouth was eager to eat the best Italian food ever! Bread was served hot & crusty. For our appetizer, we ordered baked clams. They were delicious & flavorful. Breadcrumbs were buttery and garlicky over a sweet juicy and tender little whole clam. It was cooked to perfection! My only negative comment was that the clams themselves were very small (my definition of small would be the size of a tiny bean). For our entree, I ordered spaghetti with white clam sauce and my boyfriend ordered the frutti di mare (assorted seafood in a red sauce). Both pasta dishes came to the table piping hot in a large bowl (portion size was very generous). I jumped in with my fork. My excitement was replaced by disenchantment. The pasta was "VERY DRY." There was little to no sauce on our pasta. With each bite, the saltiness of our dishes grew more and more intense. "Salt" did not compensate for the lack of sauce, moisture or depth of flavor. I had to take a sip of water after every bite. We thought a side of marinara would help the frutti di mare. Our waiter brought over a gravy boat of red sauce. It still lacked that "fresh" seafood taste and the extra sauce made the pasta even more salty. There was nothing we could do to salvage this dish. We left it there uneaten. I sat there feeling very let down, confused and even angry. My experience was so disappointing. Some of my close friends felt the same way, after the fact. I really wanted to love Matteo's. Nevertheless, I will not be returning to this establishment... I wanted to leave my personal assessment. I have come to trust YELP reviews to guide me to the best places to eat. This was not one of them. read more
