Great ambiance in the garden seating. Amazing food from the curry shrimp to the speciality rack of lamb. The chocolate mousse cake is to die for! Great for groups or an intimate dinner.
J PMAugust 4, 2017Cafe Matisse is by far the best restaurant we visited in the Bahamas. Better than Seafire Grill, Marina Pizzaria & Anthony's Grill. It was worth every penny!
Zoran SalakAugust 21, 2019Food porn really good Italian restaurant a bit overpriced but worth it! Try octopus salad excellent!
Meats and pastas are consistently good. Unfortunately, they consistently over cook the fish dishes. Stick to the meats and pastas. Service is excellent. Love the ambiance and super friendly staff.
Heathor Kerr BalazyNovember 18, 2016Great food, attentive service! Tucked away so not easy to find, just follow the signs. Rainy day so didn't get to enjoy the courtyard.
James GiuffridaApril 6, 2016Short and sweet; we are extensive travelers and this is one of my world favorites. You must request garden seating and the rest will just happen. Bon Appetite!
Vojtech RuzickaJanuary 16, 2019This place is always packed with local businessmen and government employees ehich is a good sign. It’s pricey but at least it tastes well. Nice garden. Flawless service!- James GiuffridaApril 6, 2016It's all good here! Be sure to request garden seating and the rest will flow beautifully...

- Scott CaldwellJune 11, 2011GREAT Italian food. Nice date spot or if you're looking for a quiet meal with good ambiance. They also accommodated our party of 11 upstairs on the balcony.
Semih SeloniJune 27, 2017I think it is not only the best Italian, it is also the best restaurant around.

Ash HendersonAugust 19, 2010The filet mignon is excellent, and the veal is sublime. The risotto... not so great.

"Good people warm and engaging. Great place to visit. Avoid Mexico as they are scammers visit Nassau instead. Truly nice"

"They have awesome drinks & if you want to purchase internet for 3.00 an hour then do it if not then you can still have your favorite drink & sit on a nice leather couch/chair. Very nice hang out spot."
