Matteo’s Restaurant (Boca Raton, Hallandale)
Boca Raton
***** Matteo’s Restaurant, 233 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton Florida 33432, (561) 392-0773—&—1825 East Hallandale Boulevard, Hallandale, Florida 33009, (954) 455-4050.
Certain things in life bear repeating…
Matteo’s with locations in Boca Raton, Hallandale is one of the best Italian restaurants in South Florida.
If you check…Back on March 19, 2008, I did a writeup on Matteo’s. I absolutely love this joint.You can check Matteo’s menu/prices at www.matteosristorante.com.
Matteo’s has 2 South Florida locations…Boca Raton, Hallandale…on average, I am probably in either the Boca or Hallandale joints at least once a month.
Matteo’s food is delicious. Matteo’s service is outstanding. Matteo’s prices are not-exactly “cheap,” but if you’re sensible when ordering, you won’t need a second job to pay the bill…Matteo’s features both family-style and individual portions. Matteo’s is a “white-tablecloth” joint, but your tee shirt/shorts ensemble will work.
Matteo’s started out as a Long Island joint…check the website for NY locations etc…Not exactly sure when its first S. Florida location (Boca Raton) opened, but from day-one Matteo’s has been a “homerun”…its enormous NY following, translated into an enormous South Florida following.
Look…I could go on and on about this joint…
I am telling you, that if you want terrific Italian food, served by a professional staff…with a management team that makes you feel like you are family…then you want to absolutely positively eat at Matteo’s.
You now know “again” about a sensational Italian joint that is not to be missed.

Last Sunday night we need a last minute reservation for ten and Matteo’s handled everything perfectly. First time there and the food and service were outstanding.
Jeff,
I was born in Brooklyn in 1953. Moved to Atlantic Beach in 1975. Moved to Boca in 1986. I have eaten in NY’s Matteo’s and both the Boca and Hallandale stores countless times. The food and service are always terrific. May sound crazy but Matteo’s in a good sense is like McDonald’s in that it’s always consistent and I and my family know as to exactly what we are going to get. The Boca location is always busy and is extremely well run. One bitch when it’s busy which is all the time it’s very noisy.
My family really enjoys Matteo’s. This is a textbook example of how to run a restaurant and how to treat customers.

Ate in Hallandale and loved the food.

Matteo’s in Boca. Terrific food and service.
Best food in Boca.
They have an incredibly good wait staff.
Some of them are so good that they don’t even have to write down your order. They never screw up.
Second time in Boca loc.
Baked clams were to die for.
Loved the Shrimp Wendy and the broiled pork chops.
Service was perfect.
Jeff,
My wife and I met you and Mrs. Jeff Eats at the Festival Flea Market about a month ago. We really enjoyed talking to both of you.As you may remember we live in Montreal and were visiting relatives in Coral Springs for 2 weeks. We tried four of your recommendations, Zinger’s, Pizza Time, Charm City and Matteo’s and all of them were as good as you said they would be. We are back home and will be back in Florida around this time next year. We are really looking forward to trying many more of your picks. Thanks and take care.

Boca is a great restaurant.
Food and service are always great.
Had a pork chop in Hallandale that was simply amazing.
Jeff,
Hands down either Matteo’s in Boca or Hallandale are two of the best Italian restaurants in Florida. Food is always delicious and the service excellent.

Based on your glowing review we tried Matteo’s in Boca last night.
We are originally from Cleveland and have been in Delray Beach having moved to Valencia Cove two weeks ago.
We found the food and service to be very good. The restaurant was busy and we found the noise level to be quite high. Prices were very fair.
All and all a very pleasant meal and night out.
Have eaten in both Hallandale and Boca. For some reason I like the food better in Hallandale. Both are very good but’s that the call.
Love the food and service.
Both Boca and Hallandale are terrific.
Jeff
You got us here.
Boca was terrific.

I am gluten free. Ordered eggplant rollatini after waiter assured me no breading was used. Came cold and breaded. Not a very good thing!!
Jeff,
Really don’t care for either Boca or Hallandale. Food is ok but nothing to go nuts over.
