Unimpressed - Probably Better for Non-Veg People - Edit
Food and service were meh, which is something that shouldn't be said about a restaurant where a pasta dish is $35. I appreciate the menu having vegan options that are clearly marked VV for vegan or VVR for vegan upon request. Our waiter seemed to be ignoring us quite a bit and prioritizing the tables outside. They'd also make some one-off comments while ordering, which came across very snarky. One being: "You think people would catch onto the questions I ask and not have me need to repeat myself" when ordering teas and getting asked if we needed sugar. Very condescending. I got the Arrabiatta, and it was okay. Was it good? Yes. Was it good for $35? No. I've had much better vegan fine dining food and would not return for myself. Someone else in my party got the arrabiatta as well and said it was bland; I'd have to agree. I understand it's a simple dish to prepare, but it was quite bland. It didn't taste like fresh pasta or freshly crushed tomatoes. There was nothing special about it at all to justify the price point. It's a meal I can easily recreate at home for a fraction of the cost in probably 10 minutes. The focaccia (which is vegan) they brought to the table was good in flavor, but it was cold and should've been served warm. My review is teetering on a 1 star, but it wasn't bad enough for me to rate it 1. My non-veg family members really liked their food, so that's a plus, I guess. Family members said the non-vegan deserts were pretty bad. An Italian restaurant that has a bad, crumbly, dry, and bland tiramisu is quite telling...

Does not live up to its local reputation - Edit
Poor service, eggplant parmigiana that had an odd cake-like consistency and overwhelmed staff made dining here 2nd rate. Would not return.

Top notch Italian - Edit
Even tho the separate Vegan / Vegetarian menu is no longer offered our wait staff helped navigate the options and offered mods on many menu items to make them compliant with our preferences. And best of all the food was authentically prepared and tasted great. They offered to add mushrooms and zucchini to my pasta arrabiata.

Beautiful Space, Vegan Options are Fine - Edit
No longer has a separate vegan menu as of January 28th, 2022. Food was good but expensive. Decent number of vegan options but you're really paying for the ambiance as opposed to an inventive Vegan menu. Still a gorgeous spot and the pizza was pretty good.

Separate vegan menu - Edit
Very happy that Matteo's has a separate vegan menu, though my pasta was a bit bland for $24. Wish I had got a pizette instead. Our service was excellent however!

Average Meal - Edit
Vegan menu provided. I got one of the pastas; it was a bit watery. I wish there was more veggies provided with it.

Wonderful - Edit
We had an amazing dinner last night. The forno pizza was just wonderful. I loved that they had a separate vegan menu! We also got the spicy vegan pasta. It was very good. I absolutely recommend that you make reservations here and go. The outdoor patio seating felt very tropical and fun.

Italian Vegan - Edit
My wife and I had a great time at Matteo’s Osteria. The service was excellent and the food tasted authentic. We had the bruschetta, Margherita pizza and the primavera pasta. Although the restaurant was packed inside and out, our server took our order very promptly and the food came out fast. Be sure to book a reservation ahead of time because we waited for 37 minutes! It’s popular place.

Ask for the Vegan Menu - Edit
It’s always nice when a restaurant has a separate vegan menu. We went for Thanksgiving and ordered the bruschetta, osteria insalate, and the pasta primavera (one with housemade spaghetti and one with housemade penne.) The meal came with vegan bread and a vegan bean hummus. We enjoyed all of the food, especially the salad. Although the place was packed for the holiday our service was friendly and our water glasses were kept full. Our experience was very vegan friendly. The price point was high but not more than the other restaurants in the area, and we got a lot of satisfying and delicious food!

Nice service, but pretty bland - Edit
Awesome that they have a vegan menu. We order the bruschetta and the Forno both of which were good. We also ordered the two vegan pastas. The Arriabiatta pasta is super spicy and very bland. The Primavera pasta was pretty bland too. This place is pricey but not as pricey as a lot of the other restaurants at the resorts. If you come here I would recommend going with the vegan pizza.

Excellent restaurant with vegan /vegetarian options - Edit
Really loved this restaurant. Excellent food and service. The wine list is extensive, a little pricey but great wines. The food was delicious. Freshly made focaccia, super food salad (vegan!), pizzas were all really great. They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options and are all marked on the menu. They also have a separate all vegan menu if you ask. This was a gem of a place and not overloaded with tourists. Great food and attentive staff. Highly recommend.
