Excellent local cuisine. Accurate and fast service. Cozy place located in one of the busiest squares in the historic center of Matera close to the Sassi districts.

Located in the beautiful city of Matera, near the enchanting church of San Francesco in the square of the same name, Ristorante Basilico is the ideal place to savor the delights of Matera cuisine, which represents the meeting point between Apulian and Lucanian cuisine, two ancient culinary traditions, rich in simple yet delicious and healthy foods, made with local and minimally processed ingredients. The staff is extremely kind and welcoming and available to help you choose and suggest the house specialties according to your tastes (they speak English).
The restaurant is located halfway between the two parts into which Matera is divided, it is the ideal place for a refreshment after visiting the Sasso Barisano in the morning, to resume with the Caveoso in the afternoon.
We decided to opt for a trio of first courses, our choice was orecchiette with turnip greens and bread crumbs, spaghetti with olives and cherry tomatoes and a fava bean and vegetable puree that was nothing short of delicious. We continued with a sliced beef steak, grilled vegetables and a pan of melted provola cheese. The portions were generous and the food delicious. We accompanied everything with a bottle of local red wine. At the end we concluded with a digestif, which was kindly offered to us along with the coffee; the restaurant has several liqueurs available but my advice is to opt of course for Amaro Lucano, a local liqueur produced in nearby Pisticci and renowned nationwide, or nocino, a walnut-based liqueur, also produced locally.
The price for a first course, a second course, water, wine, coffee was about 22 euros per person. Highly recommended.
