"This is my wife's and I first visit to Matteo's in North Royalton. \n\nThe restaurant is currently in transition to new owners but for now, the original menu is in place. \n\nThe dining room is open and spacious. The booths are very comfortable. \n\nWe were seated immediately and our server took our drink orders immediately. \n\nWe didn't get anything special, Coke and water, but it was delivered quickly. \n\nRefills happened equally as fast. \n\nFor starters, we ordered the bruschetta (pictured). It was light and perfectly topped. \n\nWe both opted for side salads with our meal and got the house Italian dressing. \nIt has a nice zing to it. \n\nThe Mrs. ordered the lemon chicken with a side of linguini. She remarked how flavorful it was. I tasted it and agree. It's a keeper. \n\nI ordered the chicken parmigiana with a side of spaghetti. \n\nIt was everything chicken Parma should be. \n\nThe portion was very generous so I will be able to enjoy this for lunch tomorrow. \n\nFor afters, we shared the cannoli. Very tasty and just the right size. \n\nOverall, we're very pleased with our experience and can't wait to see what culinary awesomeness Chef Kelly has in store for Matteo's in the future. \n\nWe'll be back for sure."^^ .
