We really enjoyed this Italian restaurant for dinner. Parking in Roswell is difficult and they have valet parking. Nice. They have outdoor dining which seems to have a great atmosphere but it was way too hot to dine outside. We typically love bars but this one was dark and uninviting. No thank you. We sat to the left as you enter the front door. Missing atmosphere-- wouldn't choose to sit here again. Service was impeccable. I couldn't decide what I wanted for a glass of wine and they offered to bring me glasses to sample. I love this-- I saw them offer same service to another table close by. We split the Caesar and they were kind enough to diving between two bowls. The only other place that does this for us is Cibo e Beve. The focaccia was wonderful with large flakes of salt on top and went great with their olive oil. We are truly picky Caesar eaters and this one had freshly shaved Parmesan and obvious homemade croutons. Pasta was fabulous for both of us. Would we dine here again? Definitely not the bar and probably not the dining room, but would come back to dine outdoors. Carrie was our waitress and she was fantastic. read more

I had been dying to try this place so when they posted a $35 customer appreciation week menu it was the perfect opportunity. We ordered meatballs, Caesar salad, bolognese, margarita pizza and bread pudding. The only things with much flavor were the pizza and bread pudding. The meatballs and bolognese lacked seasoning and majorly lacked garlic. read more

We came here for dinner and did the Yurt experience, something available during the holiday season. They book three groups a night, one at 4pm, 6pm, and 8pm. The yurt was located on the restaurants patio, and was decorated for Christmas. There were lights and a wreath on the inside, as well as blankets in case it got chilly. There was a flap as the door that looked like it closed, but ever did because waiters were frequently entering. I thought that there would be multiple yurts, but we were the only one. From where I sat, I was in the direct line of vision of another guest outside of the yurt, eating on the patio, which was a little awkward. It was not as private as it seemed. We came for the 6pm time slot, and the guests who were there at 4pm were taking a while so we weren't sat until around 6:30pm. We got lucky with the weather and it wasn't cold, but I could see that being a point of concern very quickly. As previously mentioned, they do provide blankets. We started with the Charcuterie board, and it was exceptional. It says on the menu that it feeds two, but I think it could feed three if you're not starving. There was one cheese that was in a coating of what seemed to be nuts, and that was the star of the show. For the entree, I got the Cacio e Pepe with chicken. The pasta was creamy and very cheesy (!) and there was substantial amount of chicken. I got full about half way through, and took the rest to-go. Although there were some hiccups, this was an enjoyable, novelty dinner, and I would recommend. read more

Good food and very nice patio area for the summer time! Lighting helps a lot to create a great experience

This restaurant delivered a very enjoyable dining experience overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with the pasta and appetizers standing out the most. Small touches, like accommodating shared dishes and offering tasting samples before ordering, made the visit feel more personalized. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and everything arrived at a comfortable pace. The outdoor seating looked especially inviting and seems like the best place to enjoy the atmosphere. The indoor dining area, however, felt a bit lacking in character, and the bar wasn't as welcoming as expected. Even so, the quality of the food and service makes this a place I'd gladly visit again. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars! My wife and I travel to Alpharetta once a year to see family, we are from NJ, most of the Italian restaurants are good, not great. We tried Osteria Mattone based on the reviews, so glad we did. This restaurant just gets it on all fronts, from the beautiful property, their outdoor seating area, the valet parking, how you are greeted by the hostess, the manager checked on us, the way each team member interacts with guests, the rustic decor. Zac, our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about everything! He had great suggestions and answered all of our questions. The cocktail and wine by the glass list was perfect, one of the best old fashioned's we have ever had. Now the food, amazing! We had the burrata and the Cesar salad to start, both exceptional. I had the capanelle with mushrooms, my wife had the scallops with risotto, outstanding! We had the olive oil cake for my wife's birthday which they comped as well as one of her drinks, what a nice touch. We will back the next time we are in town! read more

Everything went well here, excellent food, exceptional service and great atmosphere. I definitely enjoyed it! read more

We came here with a large group of 12 girls and it was phenomenal. It is rare to find a place that every person can have something to eat at and this place does it right! The pizzas are all wonderful, the salads are all delicious (loved the beet salad - it was nice and refreshing with all the carbs we ate that night!). The pastas are super fresh and tasty. The servers were on top of it and the place was PACKED. It was such an amazing time!! read more

Excellent service and good. Good size portions, enough food to share. Nice decor and a very nice outside area. It's a favourite!! read more

I really wanted to give this more stars, but the food was ok. The first thing was the menu could have had better selections to choose from and it was small, meaning not a lot to choose from. I felt that for it being an Italian restaurant, it should have more options to choose from especially pasta dishes. The only creamy pasta was the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe pasta dish. I was hoping for a fettuccine or maybe calms with linguine or a scampi to choose from so that was a little disappointing. I started with the Fritto Mista appetizer which was really good. The shrimp, calamari and veggies were fried well and it had a good mix of seafood and veggies. For my salad, I ordered the Insalda mista, the salad was ok. I didn't care for the roasted parsnips in it because it gave it a sweet taste and the dressing wasn't that flavorful. My pasta dish was the Tonnarelli Cacio E Pepe. It was good but a very rich sauce. Overall the food was mediocre for an Italian restaurant. Where are the classics? Soups, Veal Parmigiana, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, and tortellini. Also, there was a lot of focaccia bread going around, but no complimentary bread and butter was served. The pricing wasn't bad, but did feel that the salads were overpriced. read more

Osteria Mattone is a real standout from the many restaurants on Canton Street. The food is exquisite and their fresh bread is like manna from heaven. Easy check in with hostess who lead us to a high top table, as we did not have reservations. Service was quick and prompt. The Ambiance of the place is good, but looks like a converted house giving it an overall homey feel. We dined during restaurant week and took advantage of the fixed price $35 (2024 price) meal. This included Polpette (meatballs), Tagiloline Bolognese, and Caramellato desert. All were good with Tagiloline Bolognese being my favorite. Other choices are available. Large portion and had leftovers too. We also looked at the normal menu which was slightly more expensive but still reasonable for the value. Valet parking is available. Parking around here can be a hassle, but we parked at the large free lot off of Green Street, which is short stroll to Osteria Mattone. Also dined at their sister restaurant Table and Main, see separate review. read more

Style over substance. Service at the bar was neglected and messy. We tried the recommended shrimp ravioli, but it was just sweet corn in tough, overcooked pasta no shrimp in sight. Nothing on the plate felt savory or well-executed. A big letdown considering the potential of the place. read more

The food - FABULOUS! Service - AMAZING! Setting - surprisingly (good thing for me) not only focused on adult dining. We visited Osteria Mattone on a Friday evening for a date night. I was expecting it to be dark and intimate and was pleasantly surprised that while it's definitely upscale, it's a place that I would love to bring the kiddo. The bread was delicious. I don't normally feast on heavy carbs, but YUMMM! We had the peach and burrata cheese appetizer, which went well with the bread. For dinner, I had the bass and my husband had a stuffed pasta (agnolotti). They were presented well and tasted even better. For dessert we shared an espresso gelato, which was light and a perfect finish for the meal. I highly recommend this place. I can't wait to go back and bring the kiddo too bc I know she's going to be in heaven with the menu options. On a side note - weather wasn't favorable for us, but they have a beautiful patio with gazebo covering. If it's not blazing hot or raining, I would have asked to be seated out there. read more

Great food in atmosphere for Valentine's Day or any occasion. One of the best in the Alpharetta crab apple in Roswell area.

Food was meh. Service was slow and very unresponsive. The experience was markedly bad. Will not return.

Went here with my family a while ago. Customer service was very welcoming and even offered us free complementary dessert due to a mistake on the menu. That was seriously the highlight of our day, after coming back from an exhausting trip and in need of some home food. Food was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back. read more

Osteria Mattone has been one of those restaurants We've been wanting to try for a long time. Knowing that its owned by the family of Table & Main gave me high hopes that it was going to be great, and it was! After looking around, i noticed they were participating in Roswell Restaurant week, so perfect time to try it out. Service is impeccable; food is great as well. Some of the dishes we've had: - Insalata Romana -Arancini -Burrata D'Autunno -Funghi -Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe -Tagliolini Bolognese -Agnoloti Di Oxo -Budino Caramellato -Morte de Cioccolato All were excellent and disappeared rather quickly, which is always a good thing. We will be back soon now that I see they have an Easter brunch special.. read more

We came here Friday night for early valentine's dinner! It was a bit of a pain to find because all the businesses beside it look like houses so you'll have to wait until you're on top of it to see the sign. I think it's valet only and valet was complimentary, just tips. This place was great overall. It's not a big shop and they have a couple of dining rooms including a private dinner in their wine cellar which you can request but it is cold in there at 60F. The drinks we ordered were strong & subtle flavors. I forgot the name of mine but it was dark rum, ginger and pear - flavor was rum heavy with a hint of ginger & pear. Not something I'd normally order but it grew on me The tables are close together so you can definitely see everything everyone else is ordering I ordered the Bolognese and my husband got the gnocchi special from valentine's menu. His gnocchi was small in comparison to the Bolognese while I had way too much food to finish. I didn't snap a pic of his food but it was tasty! They provide complimentary focaccia bread for the table with olive oil to dip it in. We also got the arancini as an appetizer and really enjoyed it. Our food took quite awhile, maybe it was the gnocchi but everything was really good once it arrived so you may be in for a wait, depending what you order. We finished off with the valentines menu banana hazelnut dessert and it was delicious. I was full but we managed to finish this off! The banana ice cream was so light and subtley sweet and paired perfectly with the rich ganache on the cake. Very pretty presentation as well. Multiple people came to check on us during our meal and everyone was super friendly. This place is worth a visit! read more

Italian is something I generally have to be in the mood for as it is not one of my favorite cuisines and usually even when I am in the mood for it, I end up disappointed. Fortunately, that was not the case at Osteria Mattone. I had this place bookmarked since we moved to Roswell a few months ago, so hubby and I recently decided to try it out for our date night. These are my findings based on that one experience: PROS: * Lovely ambiance. We sat inside because we thought it might rain, but I loved how the outside patio dining area looked. It is in front of the restaurant and has a romantic but classy vibe. As long as the weather cooperates, we will probably sit there on our next visit. The inside also has a classy and romantic feel to it. * Excellent food and drink. First, we enjoyed the complimentary focaccia bread, which was soft and delicious. We ordered a bottle of wine that was smooth and tasty. For food, we started with the Salumi E Formaggi, which was essentially a charcuterie board, and it did not disappoint. It had a nice assortment of fresh meats and cheeses along with some vegetables, crispy breadsticks, and bread. My husband also ordered the pea soup, which was served cold with a vibrant green color and a tasty cream on top. I am not a soup or pea fan, but I had a taste and it was very good, especially with the cream. We also ordered and shared a margherita pizza. The crust had the perfect amount of crisp to it. While it did not reheat well since I was missing that perfect crust next day, it was divine when eaten fresh. We finished our dinner date with a shared slice of tiramisu. I am rather picky when it comes to tiramisu and personally think my husband makes the best I've ever had, but the tiramisu from Osteria Mattone gave my husband's version some healthy competition. They had the genius idea to sprinkle it with coffee beans, which complemented the light, airy, and flavorful tiramisu beautifully. My taste buds approved of every single thing I tried here and this is not an easy feat, especially for Italian food. * Excellent service. I absolutely love a server who has mastered the art of being attentive and available without being intrusive. Our server (I believe her name was Lou but it escapes me now) was phenomenal. She struck the perfect balance of meeting our needs without hovering. She had a strong knowledge of the menu and made great recommendations when asked. Most importantly to me, she never had to be asked for a refill as she was attentive to the water level in our glasses and quickly slipped in and out to top them off. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I need a refill of whatever I am drinking and the server is nowhere to be found. The service was great and I hope we get the same server when we come again. CONS: * Parking problems. The biggest complaint about our experience at Osteria Mattone is the parking situation. Only valet was available at the restaurant itself and I hate using valet service, so we had to park a few blocks away and walk to the restaurant. If you don't mind valet, then I guess this is an okay option, but I don't like handing my car over to some random guy and generally refuse to use valet if I can avoid it, so it was annoying not really having any other option. * Price. This isn't a real con in my book because I understand you get what you pay for when it comes to consistent quality in taste and service. I don't mind paying a premium to dine at an establishment that makes me feel like I got my money's worth and Osteria Mattone certainly achieved that. However, it is a con in that our budget won't support us adding it to our weekly rotation of restaurants. We will definitely be back, but most likely more for special celebrations or the occasional date night splurge than our regular weekly outings. If you have not tried Osteria Mattone and are thinking about it, I would say to go for it since I am confident that you will enjoy it as much as we did. Don't skip the tiramisu! read more

I have been back to Osteria Mattone two more times, and our experience has been just as great as the first. We most recently were there for Roswell restaurant week, during what they offered three course meal for $35, and it was a great value and experience! I can't say enough how delicious the arancini is! The staff are always professional, and it always has a cozy environment. read more

Would we come back? Yes, most likely. We're there some odd things about our dinner tonight, most definitely. We had an appetizer, two drinks, a bottle of wine and two entrees. Total bill with tip was $240. Not cheap, but if it's good food, I'm willing to pay it. Service was solid. Looking forward to sitting on their beautiful patio when it's nice outside. The thing that was most strange to us was how the kitchen prepared my wife's pasta dish. The pesto pasta with asparagus and broccoli had only the bottom portions of the vegetables in it. Was that intentional? Do they save the good parts for a side to an entree and put the less desirable parts in a pasta dish? No clue, but I've never eaten bowl of pasta filled with the bottoms parts of asparagus and broccoli. If it was accidental, then it's odd and the kitchen should pay attention. If it's intentional, then this is not a fine dining establishment and the prices should reflect it. Either way, please pay attention to it, because it's unpleasant at best. I raised it to the bartender and passed her a bowl filled with asparagus stems. She said it was strange too. Free pass on the first try. Will report back on the second. read more

We had the pleasure of partaking in the Castelucci-Pernice Spanish and Italian dinner on Thursday night. Each of the 6 courses was a ideal combination of sauces, veges, fish, and meat with some cheeses delicately added. The food on the plates could have been pieces of art. Just a beautiful evening with scrumptious foods. Good job ladies and gentlemen. read more

I feel like it's tough to find good/delicious Italian restaurants these days, but luckily, I know of a few. One of my favorites is in my old stomping grounds of Roswell at @osteriamattone This isn't your everyday Italian joint as their menu, flavors, and yes, their price, separate them from other locations. I would call this an upscale Italian restaurant with many delicious favorites like their meatballs or ravioli, so this is a special occasion stop for me, and boy, does it deliver every time. As you could expect, their staff is nothing but 1st class, making you feel nice and special Roswell parking and I have never gotten along... I'm bitter that Alpharetta grew up and did all that they did to solve for parking while Roswell just did nothing in the past 15 years to remedy the situation BUT if you can find parking behind Osteria, great. I haven't stopped by during the NICE weather season, but the outside patio area always looks so nice. 5 stars all across in my humble opinion #rolieats #myfavoritefood #italianfood #roswell #osteria read more

Had such high hopes for Osteria Mattone after seeing raving reviews and being seated in the wonderful setting of this restaurant, it's beautiful! Excitement carried on after our drinks and appetizers were amazing! We split their Ceaser salad and Burrata which was absolutely phenomenal. Our wine and old fashioned carried the trend. Everything was great until we received our entrees which we thought were so subpar, it was truly shocking and disappointing! I had the Chicken Piccata which honestly saying, was the worst Chicken Piccata I've ever had. It was almost flavorless, lacking any hint of lemon at all. The chicken had a very minimal amount of sauce or dressing, and I was truly disappointed. My dates pasta was as expected, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Maybe we ordered the wrong menu items, because our entrees sure didnt align to the quality of the rest of our meal. We will be coming back to try again! read more

Amazing people place and food. Never disappointed. This is a highly recommended place for date night

Was impressed when I first entered the restaurant.. very nice decor and very pleasant staff.. We stopped at the bar for a quick drink and appetizers.. The arancini and meatballs were very good. We were seated in the dining room for dinner at a very nice table.. Unfortunately the dinner was not as impressive. I ordered the Piccata di Pollo with broccolini.. The chicken was dry and overcooked and the sauce was bland with very little flavor. The brocollini was undercooked. My friend's Ravioli di Maize had a strong fish smell and the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe tasted more like cheesy spaghetti. The focaccia was delicious but surprisingly sweet--definitely more cake than bread! Will try again and next time I will order the branzino.. Hopefully will have a little better experience. read more

Okay second trip to this restaurant with high expectations and I'm sorry to say this time we all were less than satisfied. The assigned waitress was nice but just not attentive. The initial drink order was very slow coming out and when the bread finally landed it was without the accompanying oils for dipping. More bread was offered and we all eagerly agreed and it never came. The quality of the meal was elevated, but again we were on our own and often looking for wait staff. When I spend over $250 for dinner I really expect a great experience. This wasn't up to the standard I expected from this restaurant. read more

Gem of a place! My wife & I along with our 3 year old son celebrated our wedding anniversary here recently. The service was excellent, and the food was among the best I've had. The sausage was full of flavor and the attention to detail was immaculate in every dish. The lobster pasta was so so good that it should be illegal. My wife loved the arancini and the caciao pepe. There are a lot of vegetarian options on the menu as well. Lot of good wine options too - perfect for a date night. I normally don't give a lot of thought to the service but I have to say that this is among the best service I've experienced. The restaurant greeted us with champagne as well as a personalized card with wishes from all the staff for our anniversary. Tatum - our server was really nice and I blindly went with everything that she recommended - both from a food as well as wine pairing perspective and had no complaints at all. Can't wait to go back! read more

The valet parking was friendly and fast and dinner service was excellent with owner greeting everyone too which is always a nice touch.

Our date night was exceptionally fun this week having had dinner at OM. We are always greeted with such a warm welcome from the moment we walk in the door right through to the very last minute. I'm a creature of habit so this week I went with my favorite dish, the chicken piccata...doused in a lemon butter sauce with capers and served over fresh asparagus, this is a go to for me! My husband enjoyed the pasta, as he usually does but this night was particularly tasty! We settled on the lemon torte for dessert, the perfect ending to a perfect meal and just the right choice I think for a hot summer night! read more

This restaurant is amazing! We made a reservation on a Friday at 5:15pm to avoid the crowds. I loved everything about this restaurant except the fact they only have valet parking as a parking option. In a pandemic, I rather someone else not be in my car. Besides the parking, everything about this restaurant was just fabulous! We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer. They were sooooo good! The meatballs literally melt in your mouth. As an entree, I ordered the Agnolotti di Oxo aka braised short rib stuffed pasta in a butter sauce. It was delicious!! My husband ordered the special which was the scallop and mushroom ravioli in a heavy cream sauce. It was also delicious!! And then there was the dessert! We just had to order the Salted Caramel Bread Pudding. It was 100x better than it looks. I wasn't sure what to expect but the first minute I put the spoon into it, that was a wrap! It was the perfect texture and temperature. The ice cream really complimented the bread pudding. It was a perfect combination! I definitely recommend it!! In fact, I recommend this restaurant very much especially for a nice date night! read more

Osteria Mattone - Salmone - Italian Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

This place can be found even if your headlights burn out. Their exterior has a TON of patio lights... I was like a moth to the flame... But what a flame it was! I walked in the door, literally five minutes to closing. And the team, even though I gave the option of leaving since I knew I was coming in late... welcomed me in the door. The vibe, at closing time, could be different in a rush, but wow, I chatted with the Nai, the manager for the evening, and what a welcome I got. She says there's a Summer Sippin' cocktail starting June 13th through August 15th (2023 in case you're seeing this later). Their SIGNATURE cocktail is called the HoneyMousse. it's a vodka and is semi-sweet and refreshing. I had the Osteria and it was straight up yumminess in a martini form. The vibe of the restaurant as a whole was cozy and clean... I'd say this is a perfect first day (or hell, any date) night. You need to check it out here! read more

Osteria Mattone is a great place to go if you love Italian food and want to have a romantic dinner. It is beautifully located in the Roswell area. I went on a dinner date with my partner, and we both loved it. The food and service were great, and the ambiance was beautiful. In food, we ordered Bread Focaccia, Pollo al Marsala, Gnocchi, Funghi Pizza, and Salumi E Formaggi. I am a big fan of Marsala and everytime I go to any Italian restaurant the first thing I order is Marsala. Believe me when I say this: Osteria Mattone's Marsala sauce is one of the best Marsala in the town. I also loved their Salumi E Formaggi and Funghi Pizza. With regards to parking, on a busy day it would really hard to find space. I was lucky that I got a spot. Lastly, I wanted to call out Abigail, our server. She was very polite and kept checking on us. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 read more
