Al Falco Grillaio In Matera

In addition to eating very well, the welcome was fantastic, we were treated very well and we tried truly special local dishes... highly recommended.

Excellent food, service could be improved, nice outdoor atmosphere very pleasant

I've been to this restaurant several times in the past, where I've enjoyed the hospitality and good food. Perhaps something has changed in the management. I dined there yesterday, four months after my last visit, and I noticed a certain deterioration. The portions, first and foremost, were once truly satisfying, but now quite small. The flavors... are no longer the same. The first courses arrived lukewarm. I asked for grated cheese, and during the truly prolonged wait for it, the dish went completely cold. A shame...

A lovely place in the city center, with outdoor seating and a great view of Matera's main street. Excellent pizzas, craft beers, and, most importantly, friendly and helpful staff. We'll definitely be back.

The food was very average. We ordered two pizzas, and the dough didn't have much flavor. As for the service, they couldn't fill all the tables, so we waited for about half an hour to order.

A nest of delights in the heart of Matera: The unforgettable experience at "Falco Grillaio" When two friends from Matera recommend a restaurant, you know you're in for a treat. But when the name is as intriguing as "Il Falco Grillaio," your curiosity is piqued even further. Is it because of the lesser kestrels that soar above Matera? I don't know, but I know this unique name is just the beginning of a truly special culinary experience. As soon as you step inside and take a seat, you're greeted by an atmosphere that immediately makes you realize you're not in just any restaurant. It's a magical blend of deep respect for Lucanian tradition and a breath of innovation that makes every dish a discovery. The true magic, however, lies in the passion that Nunzio and his staff put into every gesture. You can sense the sincere courtesy, the obsessive attention to detail, the expertise that shines through in every recommendation, and, above all, the dedication to the highest-quality ingredients, handled with respect and skill. We enjoyed dishes that tell the story of this land, but with a contemporary twist that enhances its flavors and aromas. And with a good bottle of wine, recommended with equal passion, the evening flew by amidst conversation and smiles. Located in the heart of Matera, "Il Falco Grillaio" is a rare gem. Not only do I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and refined gastronomic experience, but I'm already ready to return to explore all the dishes that, alas, I wasn't able to sample on this first, unforgettable visit. Get ready to soar with taste!

We went here for dinner, and had two exceptional pasta dishes and roasted cardoncelli mushrooms, which were also delicious. The chef and his team's passion for creating the dishes is evident. The wait staff was friendly, helpful, polite, and helpful. A small note: the pasta dishes were so good, we would have liked a larger portion 😅😉 See you soon!

Superb welcome. Super friendly owner. The dishes are very good. Small menu but fresh. Highly recommended.

We kregen de tip voor deze osteria van de vriendelijke dame van de Enoteca Vino & Dintorni en we hadden geen betere keuze kunnen maken. Vriendelijke ontvangst, mooie verzorgde tafels en interieur, echte métier! Salvatore vroeg ons hem te vertrouwen voor een boeiende culinaire wandeling door de cucina tipica en dat was een ware ontdekking! We werden bijzonder verrast en verwend! Gracie mille Salvatore!

Ho festeggiato gli 80 anni di mio suocero, location davvero carina, pulita e ben curata. Cibo spettacolare, ottima cantina dei vini e personale molto molto disponibile e preparato. Sottolineo la qualità dei prodotti e dei sapori per nulla pasticciati. Complimenti davvero e soprattutto grazie per aver reso speciale una giornata che lo era già di suo. Grazie!
