    Matteo's pizza, Chinese noodle salad and buffalo wings.
    Mireya R.

    We saw someone post this pizza and had to try it. The service was great and so were the people! Unfortunately the food looked better than it tasted. The best thing was the Chinese noodle salad.

    I really can't believe I don't have a review here already! I love Matteo's so much. It's my local neighborhood gem but more than that the ambience makes you feel as if you were somewhere special. It's romantic and intimate yet family and pet friendly. All the feelings you want at any time. Food... menu changes and it never fails to be amazing. I do really miss breakfast pizza with that delicious chorizo. But if you get a chef who knows they still make it... secret menu?! Lol All the pizzas are great I could inhale the Matteo and usually do with a side of The Stu! The ranch is yummy too. CALAMARI LOVER?! I know I am! Guess what they take it up a notch and let you add shrimp and jalapeños! I mean?! Are you on your way in yet? Love their chicken sandwich as well. The truffle fries omg! I mean I guess you can tell I love it all especially some craft cocktails! Service is sweet and intimate. No rush rush makes you want to stay awhile just be warned it's not slow service it's just real service where you don't feel rushed but may be like hurry up with that amazing sourdough cheese loaf! Lol My favorite place to sit is outside Enjoy Yelpers!

    Filet mignon

    I loved the seasonal soup which was a spicy thai coconut curry soup. The bread appetizer with the cheese and balsamic were delicious as well. I also loved the sauces on our entrees. It's a nicely decorated restaurant, could be for special occasions or casual. Service was amazing as well.

    We've always enjoyed a good meal at Matteo's. Usually selecting the place as a local upscale option for a celebration or dinner out with friends. This particular evening was in celebration of Woody's birthday. We were seared at a large table outside as there were 5 couples and a few singles in the party. A request was made to have the misters turned off as it was windy and fairly cool. But the mist was super fine and evaporated before it reached the table, creating a very comfortable cooling effect. The outdoor patio is lush with plants, trees and very unique fountains. Katie ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and I had the pan cooked filet mignon medium rare. Katie ordered a margarita on the rocks no salt and I opted for the Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon. The food was delicious as always and it was great to visit with our friends.

    TGIF!

    Matteo's Pizza & Bistro is the quintessential Carmichael neighborhood eatery! Matteo's boasts quite the loyal following of people who appreciate good food and wine! Matteo's is, in one word, delicious! When I am craving a top notch caesar salad and pizza, this is where I land! Oh...and a great glass of something to go with it:) It is a bit of a drive for me, but it is definitely worth it! Tucked inside a busy shopping center, parking is never a problem. That is a big plus! Another Matteo's feature beloved by their clientele is the outside patio behind the restaurant! This is one of the nicest outdoor areas you will find. You are instantly transported to a quiet, relaxing, and beautiful spot to enjoy good food, drinks, and friends! Even in the hot summer, this patio remains surprisingly cool sitting under the trees. And equally inviting and popular on the gorgeous fall evenings. Time just slows down when you are here. I love the entire menu. Crab cakes are crabby:) and seasoned perfectly (photo included). It is my favorite appetizer. The menu is varied with selections that will appeal to all different appetites. And the wine list....well, how shall I explain...includes more choices than I could probably drink in a year. That is because Matteo's has a serious wine shop attached to the restaurant open to the wine loving public! That is a big woohoo for me. And it is packed with SO many interesting wines. Just ask Peter, wine consultant extraordinaire. At least that is what I call him:) We let him know what we are feeling like with what we have chosen to eat, and he returns with a bottle, and it is always perfect. You are most appreciated, Peter! No wonder Matteo's is a culinary gem. Owners Matt and Yvette Woolston have a regional "foodie" reputation acquired with years of high-end restaurant experience serving the community. They are former owners of the Supper Club, which was a long-time hotspot for customers with discriminating taste. This wife/husband team was also well-known caterers for many VIP events . I am happy to report they still cater and you can have them at your next party or celebration! Both Matt and Yvette are in-house most days overseeing everything and chatting with their customers! This cozy dining establishment is not to be missed. And there is a nice bar to relax, chill, and enjoy a leisurely drink. I know I certainly have. Do not be a stranger! Check out the menu! Or go to the website and sign up for one of the always packed wine tastings hosted in the wine shop or the beautiful courtyard! Matteo's Pizza & Bistro will become your new, favorite hang out, too! See you soon, Peter!

    Asian noodle salad (small size)
    Cheryl B.

    We came here for the Vegan Chef Challenge but they had vegan items on the regular menu so we ordered from that also. We wouldn't have never know about this place except for the challenge. We love have other places we can eat that have a variety of vegan items. The Thai soup was quite filling as it was full of corn and mushrooms. The sandwich which was smoked portobello mushroom in place of bacon of a BLT was quite yummy but the vegan version had salad instead of fries. The Asian salad in small was quite substantial. We left full and happy

    Calamari with shrimp and jalapeños, garlic fries, the Matteo pizza
    Gillian O.

    Matteo's is always consistent with amazing food and service. The have spacious seating indoors and a beautiful patio with a very magical feeling in the evenings. They have a range of delicious wines for purchase and a full bar. The Matteo pizza is always my go to.. the chorizo really elevates the flavors! The calamari with shrimp and jalapeños are such an amazing combo! Always fresh and perfectly crisp! The garlic fries are next level delicious! There really isn't anything on the menu I don't enjoy!

    If you are in the Sacramento area and have a craving for a basic no flare pasta dish that is packed full of flavor you have got to try the Penne Bolognese made with Spicy Pork, Beef Ragu, Mushrooms & Asiago Cheese. This was hands down the best Bolognese I have ever experienced. The wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan which was also delicious and I love that they paired it with a creamy marinara instead of the traditional basic red sauce. If pasta is not your thing the burger that my son ordered was also delicious and well executed. Oh and don't skip the cheesy bread which was a Sourdough Round stuffed with Roasted Garlic Puree and 4 Cheeses with Virgin Olive Oil, Fig Balsamic & Crushed Chili's on Side (to die for) It's not often any more that you find a restaurant that their services is just as quality as their food. Matteo's is top notch and even though this was my first time here I was greeted and treated like an important regular. From beginning to end the experience and food is something I find myself now craving. Ambiance is like a Tuscan wine bar type of environment that is clean and inviting and just makes you feel like you would be missing out of your did not have a glass of wine with dinner

    Lunch menu on 2-28-2023
    Gisele X.

    Food: The worst part of the visit 2-28-2023. Perhaps it's a product of post-rona staffing struggles. Either way, both orders of fries were cold and limp. Cheeseburger looked medium rare (good) but was chewy, dry, and lukewarm. Onions were not fresh. I had stomach aches and bad gas after my meal. Lamb burger was a little better. Shrimp & mango salad had over-cooked shrimp. The worst? I asked for A-1 (to help wash down the cooled fries) and the server delivered a small bottle. Inside the bottle was crusty and sauce wouldn't come out easily. I'm glad it didn't as that's when I saw the best by date was March 2017!! Either very old or married too many times and not stored properly. Service: Gal was knowledgeable, patient, provided good service. Ambiance: Nice there were several people dining during Tuesday lunch. Place was clean. Prices: Too high for the quality of food received. Random note: The wine shop next door/inside restaurant was pretty nice. Pricey and they didn't have my favorite vintner. But a nice spot for vino options.

    Being that the wife and I had to run errands today we figured we would grab some food while we were…read moreout. Well in driving to Carmichael we actually passed by this place and thought, maybe if we drive back home the same way we came in, we could possible eat here. Which is what actually ended up happening. So we pulled into the parking lot and my wife said "Look, they are really busy" Which to us is obviously a good sign that the food is great. We parked the car, walked in and we saw that this place had a Salad Bar. To our surprise, everything looked fresh. At most Pizza joints that have Salad Bars, they take care of it but not to keep things fresh like what we saw. Well we ordered 2 Salad bars and BBQ Chicken Pizza. What was kind of interesting is that on the Menu it said the ingredients were some kind of White Sauce. I thought White Sauce on a BBQ Chicken Pizza? Well it has to work then since they put it on the menu, so we ordered that. We walked to the Salad Bar started making our salads and then as we walked to our seat, we realized that they have a band with their Instruments on stage, but they weren't playing. Which is kind of cool, if you like Live Music while you're eating Pizza. Not really my thing, but they had several Tv's playing the Olympics. As we started eating our Salads, again Fresh ingredients, we started enjoying what we were eating we barely spoke to each other. We waited probably 5 - 10 minutes for our Pizza which came out piping Hot. As we began to eat our Pizza, to my surprise it was very delicious. The thing that was told to us by the waitress who was very friendly said that the Sald Bar was all you can eat. We at several slices of our pizza and let me tell you. 2 Salad Bars, 2 Drinks and a Medium Pizza for $40 was not a bad price. Thank you Dells Pizza for 2 people who wanted great Pizza and you delivered. We will most certainly be back again. As a matter of fact this is going to become our Staple Pizza joint from now on.

At the time, they had one cook and a manager who was also acting as the bartender and server for the whole floor. You could tell he was a little nervous at first with such a big party, but honestly, he handled it really well. He was friendly, energetic, and super transparent about what they were out of since everything is made fresh. He also did a great job explaining the dishes and cocktails, which we appreciated. Our group was pretty easygoing, and overall the experience felt fun and relaxed. The food came out looking (and tasting) amazing across the board. I ordered the gluten-free hot honey pizza, and it was a standout--perfect crust, nice balance of sweet and heat, and loaded with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Definitely a win. One of my friends also ordered gluten-free and tried the pesto chicken pizza. Unfortunately, that one missed the mark--the chicken was overcooked, the pesto flavor was off, and the pizza itself was a bit bland. However, when she mentioned it, the server immediately made it right by remaking her pizza and not charging for it, which we really appreciated. The space itself has a great vibe--cute aesthetics and it sounds like they host events during the week like DJs and art nights, which is a fun touch. Parking can be a little tricky since it's on a busy intersection, but manageable. Overall, a really solid experience, especially considering our group size and no reservation. I'd definitely come back and would love to see gluten-free pasta options added in the future!
