    Overall great experience. Went here for the prefix on vday. The ceasar salad was very yummy not too much dressing but the perfect amount. We also got the crispy oysters which were very flavorful. The entrees were the star of the show. I got the chicken and my boyfriend got the bolognese. I’ve never had a chicken so juicy and so much flavor. Definitely one of the better chickens I’ve had. The bolognese my boyfriend liked, but said my entree was better. We both got the smores for dessert and it was very flavorful. It’s a cute, quaint spot on the UES and highly recommend.

    We always love San Matteo. We recommend sitting in the back if you want pizza—being near the pizza oven means you get it as soon as it comes out of,the oven
