il Pettolino In Matera

08/06/2026: A wonderful Sunday beach experience. After relaxing under a beautiful gazebo, we were drawn by the smell of fresh fish and the crowds filling the newly opened restaurant, so we decided to dine in for the first time. The restaurant was packed, with professional, friendly, and welcoming staff. An excellent à la carte menu with daily fresh fish specials, accompanied by excellent wines from a southern Italian winery. Despite the crowds, we ate in a reasonable amount of time, but those few minutes of waiting were quickly forgotten after enjoying a selection of fresh appetizers (mussels with pepper, baby octopus, seafood salad), excellent first courses (pasta with swordfish and eggplant, fresh gurnard, and shrimp risotto), accompanied by sublime mixed fried fish, a grilled fish, and a delicious baked snapper. The only flaw is that we didn't take photos of the dishes, but we'll definitely be back soon. Recommended and a must-try!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

02/06/2026: We arrived on June 2nd, 2026, at approximately 6:00 PM. Everyone was taking a break after a busy national holiday. Upon request, we were treated to a wonderful meal and allowed to drive home satisfied (all other options were closed). THANK YOU Team Scimmie
