You might choose Il Matto because you’re simply craving Italian or perhaps you want a change-up from Québécois bistro fare. Or maybe you want to sip cocktails among the fresh-faced after work crowd. The menu features Italian comfort food (Caesar salad, minestrone soup, pizza, spaghetti) in a high-energy, trendy atmosphere. (On a recent visit the house was jammed, midweek, early evening.) The young owner, Rocco Cortina, is gaining a following, with the resultant TV appearances and now, a second location in Sainte-Foy (west of Vieux-Québec).
