Also, he shared that his father was initially skeptical about his choice. But after seeing Matthew and his business partner, Nodar Mosiashvili working towards it, he jumped got on board.

After his success with Oso, Matthew later opened two more establishments; Lucille’s (coffee shop, cocktail bar, and event space) and a take-out pizza shop, Pizza By Lucille’s. The restaurant was named after his loving grandmother, Lucille.
