Matteo's Ristorante Italiano, Las Vegas | Northern Italian by Chef Angelo Auriana

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano

In the heart of The Venetian Las Vegas, Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano brings Northern Italian cuisine to Restaurant Row. The menu is described as “indulgent and approachable,” spotlighting the flavors of Northern Italy with locally sourced ingredients and time-honored techniques. The atmosphere evokes a bustling Italian trattoria—warm, lively, and unpretentious.

Chef Angelo Auriana, alongside the Ferdinandi family, opened the acclaimed Factory Kitchen in Los Angeles before bringing his vision to Las Vegas. His credentials include a Michelin Award of Distinction, and at Matteo’s he translates that expertise into a menu that balances tradition with a modern touch. The restaurant’s recognition by Gambero Rosso with a 1 Fork award in 2025 underscores the quality of the cooking.

Standout dishes include the Handkerchief Pasta (Mandilli Di Seta), which Las Vegas Weekly named “Best Pasta Hug” in their 2019 Best of Vegas awards. The Peperu, Branzino, Linguini, and Lobster preparations also appear as popular choices, reflecting the kitchen’s focus on clean, vibrant Italian flavors. The atmosphere is designed to transport diners to a classic Italian trattoria, making it a fitting spot for both a leisurely lunch or a lively dinner.

For those who prefer to enjoy Matteo’s at home, takeout is available daily. Whether you’re stopping by after a show or seeking a reliable Italian meal on the Strip, Matteo’s delivers a genuinely satisfying experience rooted in the culinary traditions of Northern Italy.
