On a hot summer evening, this place is busier than night market.

I can only comment on gelato as that's all I've had at this place. The owner is always adding new flavours and is super friendly. I always get a small waffle cone... because it's just so BIG. I like to try the new flavours when I'm there and the servers are always super friendly and don't mind that I'm such a picky taster. Back to the size of gelato... ever been to MG on robson? I remember thinking "I paid X amount of dollars and all I got was this teeeeeensy little cone of ice cream?" You'll never feel that way at Matteo's.

Pop on by for dessert, you won't regret it.

Food: The gelato is super delicious, they don't have a lot of selections but the hazelnut chocolate is very rich and leaves you craving for more. there is also a non-diary selection.

Service: Friendly staff, encourages you to try out the different flavours and lets you know which choices are the fresher ones.

Value: Great price, you can mix the flavours. A small size gelato would be equivalent to a medium or large elsewhere. You can take a waffle cone over the cup for no extra charge.

This place has the best gelato I've ever had. Way better than Mario's or La Casa Gelato and the owner is much more polite than the surly owners of those other places. The values surpasses both as well.

A very large scoop(for the quality you get) is just about $3. Cones or dishes are teh same price so why not get a fresh waffle cone. In the winter there's often only one side of the cooler open but still plenty to choose from. It's awesome.

To tell you the truth, I've never had anything else there so I don't know about the sanwiches etc but they are displayed in plastic boxes in a very noisy cooler so they're not made to order. The latte I did have once was nothing to write home about. But the gelato - oh the gelato.

My only other comment when the place opened was it used the exact set up, decorations, and way outdated tables and chairs from the former business(Lattays) that failed. It always boggles me when people buy a failed restaurant and don't change it and expect it to be successful. I guess in this case the gelato was enough. I'd recommend it to go though.

OK, I already live here, but overall Port Coquitlam is a bit of a wasteland for good restaurants. Matteo`s is one of only a few exceptions.

As soon as you look at their selection you mouth starts watering. Sample all you want, its encouraged and there is sure to be a flavour to suit your particular craving or mood. Enjoy a decent latte and a gelato in a cup or cone. The staff are great, friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun.

I really hope this place can stay in business long enough to take advantage of the downtown housing boom Poco is currently experiencing. From the looks of the happy patrons, the chances are very good.

I went in and the servers were very friendly and constantly asking if I wanted to try any of the flavours.

I got a size small one and they said I could mix flavours and get up to as many flavours as I wanted. The waffle cone and chocolate was free too! I got cookies and cream and chocolate hazelnut - delicious!
When I went to the counter to pay, the cashier saw that I was sharing my gelato with someone and told one of the servers to give me another piece of chocolate leaf. Paid only $3.13 tax included; most places charge $4 and flavour mixing is not allowed.

They have a nice patio outside or you can sit inside to eat, the place is decorated nicely.
