“Mattone has the full package! Warm and welcoming staff, an airy, open and bright dining room with fantastic views over the Salish Sea and a very nice menu. The chicken parmesan and pesto pappardelle was fresh and delicious. The service by wait staff was friendly and sincere. Recommended as you wind your way up the Old Island Highway. ”
