Hemingway's Bistrot In Matera

A lovely place in the center of Matera. Clean and quiet. Friendly and very helpful staff. Average prices and a typical Lucanian menu. Highly recommended.

The food was good, just smaller portions and higher prices.

I wanted to test your version of Spaghetti all'Assassina: it definitely passed the test. Compared to the version from the capital of the dish (Bari), I found it here, but less "risotto-like" in the tomato sauce; personally, I'd suggest just a touch more scorching, but just a touch, to be close to perfection. Both the parmigiana and the meatballs were excellent. An honorable mention goes to the signature dish: turnip greens with stale bread and crusco peppers, truly excellent. The beef carpaccio was also very unique and tasty, as were the fava beans and chicory, served in a curious little pot, enhanced by a "dusting" of red gold (crusco peppers) that gave it an extra kick. To top it off, the sporcamuss were simply delicious. An excellent confirmation in Matera for those seeking authentic flavors with a touch of personality, with an eye on nearby Puglia. Do you want to see if they really annex Matera to Bari?!?!?

We had a great time, attentive service, fair prices, and excellent food. The spaghetti all'assassina was superb! Bravo!

Excellent welcome, friendly and professional staff. Beautiful location, jazz music that I loved, high quality, and above all, generous portions. We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had the spaghetti assassino which we’ve looking for everywhere in Puglia. This is the only restaurant we have found that offers the authentic dish :).
