Review Osteria Matamata - Matamata

Wonderful Italian restaurant, with your familiar classic dishes, with refined classic flavours! I very much enjoyed every bite of my meal. We were in quite a large group, but the staff handled us really well, and the food came out timely as well! Lovely place and has a nice vibe, highly recommend!

We shared the margherita pizza and charcuterie board and were very good! The staff were nice! This restaurant is in the Hobbiton village (the visitor center is down the street, which looks like The Hobbit house).

Very nice venue with great service. They easily accommodated both a gluten free diet and vegetarians - we each had our own menu! Food was great, as was the dessert. Would go again.

Awesome food, wonderful service, wine and drinks perfect and the atmosphere is the same in Italy! Options in menu have a variety of food and drinks and quality is stunning!

Incredible food and great service. Look forward to going back

Panini chicken sandwhich was yummy and very fulling. Staff was very efficiant and patient. Lovely atmosphere to sit and dine.

Lovely service here tonight. I got the scallops to start and the lasagne for mains. Great service for a friend who is coeliac also.

Nice place for Italian food. The staff were so friendly and attentive. We had the arancini, salmon pizza, and ravioli with pumpkin filling. Generous portions 👍🏻 We were at one point trying to decide on the flavours of the trio gelato, and asked to try the ginseng-flavoured gelato to help us decide. The staff immediately brought us full spoonfuls of the 2 flavours we were torn between (lemon and ginseng).

Wow what a restaurant! I can honestly say I haven't been to such a professional establishment. I could not fault anything from their amazing mocktails, delicious entree (you have to try the arancini), amazing mains (steak was cooked to perfection, lamb shank was falling off the bone and the pork was such a delight) and delicious desserts. The lovely young lady who served us was polite, professional and welcoming. I can't wait to return to such an amazing restaurant!

My favourite restaurant! Pretty lucky to have Osteria in our small town. Love the food & cocktails! Beautiful place to eat with friends and family. Staff are always lovely & catering. Owners are lovely too 😊
