At the time, co-owner Nel said: 'We are really excited to be opening our third restaurant in Newington. When we launched Matto, just three years ago, our vision was to create tasty Neapolitan-style pizzas that, while being innovative and fun, had absolutely no compromise on the quality of the ingredients. It has been a labour of love from day one and to now have three sites across Edinburgh feels like a huge accomplishment.'
