Honestly (in more ways than one), a great dining experience you will have in L.A. area – Went here for a friends birthday a couple of Fridays ago, & we all agreed that this was one of the best places we have been to since we moved out here. I personally never heard of the restaurant but an out of town friend wanted to have his birthday specifically where Frank Sinatra dined. Not only were we treated to his booth, the food (Matteo's marinated olives, selection of cured meats called 'Affettati Misti', NY sirloin Sinatra steak,... read more

Wonderful old Hollywood feel to the charming Italian restaurant! – Went to Matteo's Saturday night for our friend's birthday. We asked for special seating and were treated to Frank Sinatra's booth. The service was impeccable from the Maitre D' to the wait staff. We didn't wait for anything, and nothing was forced or rushed. The food was excellent. We loved what we ate, from the tortellini to the halibut it was all great. We will go back and encourage others who are looking for lovely old school Italian with the feel of vinta... read more

A fun place to eat! – We were informed that Matteo's is under new management, and, wow - what a difference that's made. The decor is incredible - very old school Hollywood. Red leather booths and leopard-print carpet...it looks amazing! The booths are very private and comfortable. Management was extremely attentive and made our experience really enjoyable. Service was decent. We thought the food was good too - try the lasagna with artichoke! Never seen anything like it and is was so delicious! My one and only concern: The pr... read more

great pig night – this old hollywood joint in west los angeles -- where frank sinatra used to dine -- has an awesome celebration of the swine: tuesday's pig night. for $22, you get part of a roasted pig with some side dishes that vary -- tonight, it was squash and cabbage (a-la sauerkraut). it also comes with some pretty yummy salsa verde. the roast pig is juicy -- you have to have it with the salsa verde. and there is also a piece of crispy pig skin. yum! (for lechon lovers -- it is basically lechon without the mang tomas s... read more

Better than this? Foget about it – What a place...Who else around town is going to have a night's feast all about meatballs? This place, that's who. In a city that has it's share of fusion...it's nice to see a classic establishment that truly relishes in it's classic past...both in food and in ambiance and in it's future that may not be so classic. The menu blends both traditional dishes and daring concepts that surprise the palate and excite the senses. The service is excellent and the new management makes you feel like you... read more

Hands down the best restaurant experience in metro LA – With former Rocca (Santa Monica's) chef Don Dickman's arrival to LA-institution Matteo's, the restaurant is on my top 5 list for the city. My wife and I recently dined there on a Friday evening after a show at the new Landmark. The service, old-school atmosphere and Dickman's spectacular regional Italian food/menu--from the fish, to the meats, pastas, vegetables and everything else was mind-blowing. This is no bulls))t. We eat at some fancy joints in town, and this is o... read more

Now this IS a restaurant – Now this is an amazing place. Everything from the food and drinks to the host and waiter were fantastic.The wine list had a great variety of Italian wines and the bartender who has worked there for 30 years will regaile you with tails of the old hollywood greats who onced dined there. If you are looking for a different way to eat Italian..look no further. This place has an amazing variety on the menu. It still has the old classics that you can get everywhere, BUT it has an innovative and delicious ... read more

nice atmosphere but too expensive An old school high-class italiian restuarant with incredible decor. I thought the food was just ok so you're paying primarily for the atmosphere.

Old-school Italian spot where Sinatra's mojo fuels a clubby New York vibe. – The Scene Nancy Reagan look-alikes in St. John knits and hipster couples fill the lipstick-red and leopard-print booths lining this big, loungelike room. The big round tables are either surrounded by young Industry folk or expensively dressed families with well-behaved children in tow. Conversation buzzes at a pleasant volume, barely drowning out the Sinatra tunes humming softly in the background. The Food Start with cocktails, scampi (worth orderin... read more
