San Matteo - New York

If you're on a quest to discover the true essence of New York, then San Matteo should definitely be your destination. This isn't just another restaurant or diner; San Matteo is a gateway to Italy, specifically to Campania. It offers an experience so authentic that it surpasses many European or Italian establishments that are far removed from the heart of Campania. San Matteo doesn't just serve food; it serves memories, emotions, and a taste of home. It's a culinary journey that promises to awaken your senses, ignite your passion for genuine cuisine, and, for those from Campania who find themselves far from home, evoke a nostalgic tear of joy. If you want to experience the real New York of days gone by, a visit to San Matteo is essential! You feel more at home in Campania at San Matteo in New York than in many places around Europe or Italy that are distant from Campania. San Matteo is a must-visit that will touch your heart and, for some from Campania who are far from home, may even bring tears to their eyes.

This is an excellent pizza spot, featuring many authentic Italian elements and dishes. The panuozzi has a wonderfully crunchy crust, and there’s a great variety of types and ingredients to choose from. Of course, the pizzas are a must! Don’t forget to try the antipasti as well; the melted cacciocavallo drizzled with truffle oil and served with roasted peppers is absolutely delightful. The staff is friendly and takes the time to patiently answer questions and assist with your order. While the place is quite small and a bit uncomfortable (it tends to get hot inside because of the oven), the quality of the food and the excellent service make it well worth it.

You’ll discover absolutely amazing pizza here! Thank you, everyone!

Great pizza, quality ingredients, nice service, outside seating all at a decent price. Recommended!

Over rated- inside is the restaurant is dirty. They served my family uncleaned calamari the shrimp tasted like bleach as the frito misto. Pizza was excellent but it took over 30 mins for a Wed evening. Not the same as it used to be. Local UES resident
