Basilico In Matera

I highly recommend this place if you are in Matera. The location is quite central. The food was very good, there was the possibility of making a menu, so we tasted both the first and second courses. A note of merit goes to the spaghetti alla Materana, which was very good, and to the scallops with lemon. A special mention also goes to the service, everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Perfect meals, very nice people working there, but the deserts could have been better 👌

A place frozen in time. We ate well and cheaply

All very good from the service to the helpfulness of the staff. Very good pizza, but above all their really excellent fresh pasta.

Welcoming place but some doubts about cleanliness, service and food nothing exceptional, price within the norm

Tasty. Qualitatively. Traditionally. I recommend

Typical dishes, excellent spaghetti alla Materana and chicory with broad bean purée. The owner conveys the atmosphere of the city and the chef greeted us warmly by talking to us about his recipes and providing us with a taste to take home of one of the most used spices (senise chilli powder)

Serata trascorsa con amici che ci ha permesso di degustare diverse tipologie di pizze, tutte di buon gradimento. Consigliamo il locale a chiunque voglia trascorrere una serata tranquilla con pizza ben digeribile.
