Happy Hour O'llamord In Matera

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and luckily we didn't see the reviews because we had a wonderful meal and the service was very pleasant. We ordered five different dishes and loved them all! We have no regrets and highly recommend it. The price is indeed a little higher.

After stumbling on this restaurant in search of something to eat besides Panino and Pizza, we were warmly and genuinely greeted by the host outside the restaurant. He gave us a brilliant summary of the dishes, where we were so enthused hearing about the dishes he would share with his grandmother when he was younger. The Crusco peppers that Matera is known for caught our eye, where the gnocchi he recommended with "poor mans'" sausage was so tasty and flavourful. A must try in my opinion. We also ordered the cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and that was excellent too, a hint of nutmeg I wasn't expecting but was so pleased with - delicious. We also ordered a couple of drinks and a salad. Honestly the best food we've had in Matera (and some of the best in Italy) - so well seasoned and tasty which we've found a little tricky to find elsewhere! Looking forward to returning one day in the future

The food was incredibly delicious. We were very pleased with the dishes.

Terrace overlooking a magnificent panorama in the heart of Matera.

We had a pleasant evening among the Sassi. We stopped here because of the unique outdoor setting, good service, and excellent food. We ordered cod with exquisite tomatoes and roasted sausage. The Lucanian bitter liqueur was a must. Recommended.

We had dinner with a couple of friends. The location was beautiful, the service excellent, and the food excellent. Special thanks to the owner, a kind and gentle person who advised us on typical dishes to try. The price was fair for the quality and quantity. We absolutely recommend it.

We ordered an Aperol Spritz and a 3/4 glass of wine, and the lasagna was meatless, just pasta with sauce, and a small portion. The picture they show of the lasagna is nothing like the real thing. A disappointment!

The lasagna doesn't contain meat and isn't tasty. The Aperol is very weak.

I really enjoyed this place. Food was excellent and staff helpful and nice, recommended local specialties which as a tourist à really appreciate

Best special lasagna in matera! 😍 And very good service!
