Brunch Bar U' Ciddar In Matera

locale tipico situato tra i sassi Carlo e Giovanni due persone molto gentili simpatiche pietanze tipiche cucinate in modo semplice e genuino consiglio di andare a mangiare da loro prezzi onesti e cibo fantastico

If you want to feel like you're eating in someone's family home in Italy, a cheerful family making and serving great food, you want to come here. We had an experience like this twenty five years ago in Palermo, and it is such a relief from standard restaurant dining. The food feels steeped in tradition, it's hearty and full of strong flavors. There are many vegetarian options, my partner (who is a vegetarian) had an eggplant pasta dish, I had zucchini. While the latter doesn't sound very interesting, it was. There's a menu but it is irrelevant, Giovanna shows you what you can have and you pick it out, right there at the front of the kitchen. Giovanna and Carlo bring it to the table, make sure you like it, pour the wine you ordered, and then you get in with it. The dessert was excellent also, we had the chocolate and pistachio cake and fresh strawberries. So while there are some nice "fancy" restaurants here, this is the one place you have to eat when you are in Matera.

Good food, friendly service - great for a homey and satisfying meal while traveling. Very comforting and delicious. The white wine was particularly tasty - very smooth, I could down a bottle myself. A must visit if you’re in the area.

Excellent treatment from Gina and her husband, we felt at home. The food is excellent, homemade fresh and delicious, tasting of desserts all made in-house. We are really looking forward to returning soon. Thank you very much 🫶✨

Thanks Gio! Everything spectacular ❤️

I never do reviews, but today my husband and I came across this place, as soon as we entered Mrs. Giovanna welcomed us with lots of affection, excellent service, excellent food, excellent and fresh, all made by Giovanna, we will definitely see each other again, I will go more often, we come from Bari and, to try Giovanni's cuisine again, my palate is very happy 💓💓😋

We went there twice during our stay in Matera with our 17 month old granddaughter. The welcome was simply exceptional. We felt like home. And as a bonus, traditional and above all delicious Italian cuisine!

I’ve eaten in many places in southern Italy over my travel and this has been the best experience and taste by far, the vegetarian options were AMAZING and home feeling and atmosphere was out of this world, my cheeks are sore from smiling and my stomach is full of joy. I will never eat anywhere else in Matera after dining here. They have stolen a peice of my heart, to eat anywhere else would be a sin. The wine was out of this world. I will never forget this place

One of the best places! It’s like visiting your grandmother. Extremely delicious food

Trattoria/osteria alla buona, il cibo ricorda la cucina della nonna, porzioni abbondanti e saporite, condite da una nota di ironia dei 2 proprietari, lui in cucina lei al banco. Possibilità di asporto o di pranzo all'interno del locale, senza aspettarsi calici di cristallo o cibi raffinati.
