Basquiat Il Ristorantino In Matera

"Basquiat Il Ristorantino" is a restaurant located in Matera near the Sassi. The atmosphere is very elegant; the interior is filled with paintings, and you immediately realize you're in a thoughtfully designed restaurant. Every dish we ordered, from appetizers to first courses, all the way to dessert, was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented! The food quality and the organization of the dishes were worthy of a Michelin star, not to mention the generous portions. The egg with sausage and onion served as an appetizer is noteworthy: I've never had an egg like this before, highly recommended! The prices are very reasonable, and the service is top-notch! I recommend it to anyone who wants Michelin-starred dining but with trattoria-like prices and quantities!

I was here for Valentine's Day dinner and I can't complain at all... A very unique and elegant place, the food was truly excellent. Well done!

Excellent food, including traditional tastings. Knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff. Characterful venue.

Unique ambience Impeccable service complemented by excellent dishes with fantastic pairings.

Amazing food! Authentic Italian cuisine! High quality service!

We had a good dining experience...until we got the bill. It was inflated by about 50% (€187, instead of €112). All the items were correctly listed and priced, EXCEPT THE TOTAL BILL. When I pointed this out, they casually mentioned it is an arithmetic error, and changed the bill. No apologies even! Never have I experienced anything like this. I'd like to believe it is a honest mistake, but I can't imagine how only the total is off by a random amount. CUSTOMERS BEWARE!! Double check the math!

Welcoming place, delicious appetizers, and the turnip dish, which looked like a sculpture, was fabulous. Excellent

Close to the Sassi. Exquisite and refined cuisine. Top.

A very welcoming place where you can enjoy dishes prepared with care and great professionalism. Everything is super.

Delicious food and amazing experience overall! Flavia made it wonderful:)
