Royal Oak Double Bay - Double Bay (NSW)

Excellent pasta in a comfortable, cosy, yet stylish setting in the heart of Double Bay. Short but spot on cocktail list. Definitely will come again

Came here on a Good Friday and it wasn’t too busy so we managed to get seated in the outdoor area with sidewalk seating. The best thing here is the pizza, especially the eggplant parmigiana pizza and it didn’t disappoint. Im usually not a fan of eggplant but i would definitely go for this again. The Oven Baked Girella Ricotta Bolognese Ragu Sautéed was also lovely and is quite similar to lasagne. Would come here again for the divine pizzas.

Loved the chips. Simple but with just the right salt and mayo. The gambi pizza was good but the middle was a little soggy. We also had the lamb skewers. They were ok but I wouldn’t order them again. Dessert they served the chocolate cake cold. I didn’t expect this. I sent it back and asked them to heat it up. They put our half eaten one in the microwave but when it came back it was a lot better. The ricotta donuts were a 9/10. Light little balls of fluff. Perfectly soft on the inside. The creme anglaise was a good accompaniment but the dried citrus fruit surrounding didn’t pair well. It would have been nicer with berries or chocolate and ice cream in my opinion. Overall the food was pretty good and the service attentive.

Amazing dining experience at Matteo! We enjoyed an Italian feast on the outdoor terrace, perfect with the warm spring weather. The food is simple but delicious with premium ingredients and great taste. Will definitely go back for another plate of pasta!

Matteo is one of my favourite restaurants The staff are so lovely, the food is absolutely delicious and so are the drinks! It is my go to Italian restaurant.<br/ <br/ Highly recommend it to all of my friends.
