when i first came upon Matteo's i was really excited to try it. months go by and i just wasn't feeling it. we were looking at all sorts of places to go on Friday and we finally decided to give it a try and i'm glad we did.
i ordered the meatball appetizer. to my surprise Danielle (who doesn't like beef) liked these and i had to stab her hand a few times to keep her out of my food. i think the infection is clearing up after some antibiotics.
for dinner we didn't really jump outside our comfort zones. Danielle had eggplant parmesan. eggplant is gross. she said she liked it a lot but she might be nuts.
i had the veal parmesan. it was really good. both came with sides of homemade spaghetti and the red sauce tasted great. i was sopping up the sauce with the bread and wiped my plate clean.
also interesting was the dip provided with the bread. instead of the oil and vinegar you might get elsewhere, they gave what tasted like dressed up Italian dressing and i loved it.
Matteo's is very pretty inside and is definitely worth a shot, even if you're not in the area.
