I like the ambiance here, it is very romantic. Their not-so-bright lighting made a good setting. As for the service, no one welcomed and even handed me the menu. There 's a group/family who went ahead of us so the staff were busy assisting them. Also, I noticed that time, there are two ladies who chose an al fresco dining. A staff took my order and informed me about the waiting time (15-20 min). One of the ladies kept on raising her hand a few times (literally) just to get a staff 's attention but she failed. Since I 'm inside the restaurant, I had to call one of the staff to tell that the ladies outside weren 't given attention. Finally, the ladies got the menu. There 's a group/family who went ahead of us so the staff were busy catering them. I know the staff were busy but that in my opinion, it shouldn 't be the case, every customer should be given equal attention, right? I ordered their Real Carbonara (P299.00 exclusive of service charge). Serving is big. It 's saucy. I cLl it creamy but not that sticky. It 's saucy/watery like you can get the sauce using a spoon without including the pasta, and it 's not bad. I like it. It 's tasty without the need of additional parmesan. It has some bits of bacon. Some of those bits has a taste like it 's burned but were not evident on the appearance. I also like the taste of the buttered bread. It tasted herby, one side is toasted and the rest were soft. I consumed it all. I 'm okay with the price but not with the service.

We had a great experience with the food and service. The salpicao pizza is a must. They accommodate simple requests like gravy for the porkchop which is the right combination for our taste. On our next visit we will try out the steaks.

I actually enjoyed my dining experience here at Mati's, a plate of Norwegian Salmon that cost me around 400.00 is such a good deal. Talking about the consistency of their Mashed Potato, its really thick and creamy that got me addicted to it. I repeatedly complimented the taste of their angus steak rice, it was really the bomb. to mention that the taste was really balance. Ambience was nice, it's rustic x classic. Everything was insanely beautiful. If you're looking a cozy place to date your hubby but spending less, this is the perfect one for you.

So happy to know that VEnice Grand Canal now has a restaurant speciaizing in steaks. We tried their USDA rib-eye and also their Wagyu rib-eye. Both were tender and juicy. no wonder because Mati's is 3rd generation of Melo's steakhouse per our server. Price not so expensive as the original steakhouse of 1st generation though
