L'abbondanza Lucana In Matera

A very elegant and modern restaurant, the owner and staff are very kind, friendly, and helpful. My husband and I came in, and even though we were dressed casually, they welcomed us kindly. The food was good. The owner even let us try the caciocavallo cheese they used in one dish. I recommend this restaurant.

Yes, I highly recommend this excellent restaurant. We had a five-course meal, some of which we shared. The veal cheek was exceptionally tender and incredibly delicious. The waiter and chef were very friendly. The decor was elegant and very clean.

Want to eat well and be pampered? This is the place. Discovered by chance, you'll feel like Anton Ego after tasting the ratatouille.

I'm from Matera, but I've been living abroad for about 10 years. I returned to my hometown and went to L'Abbondanza Lucana, expecting to have dinner. Instead, I had an experience: I loved losing myself in the ancient dishes of Lucanian culture, rediscovering the tastes and flavors of times gone by. And the beautiful thing is that I know those flavors, I'm used to them, I grew up with them. And yet, it was a true rediscovery, like seeing something from a new perspective, a different angle. Finding a new reason to love them. Heartfelt thanks to Francesco and his staff for reminding me how wonderful it is to be Lucanian! Highly recommended! P.S.: Tonight I tried the tasting menu because I wanted to try different flavors, and I did very well!

We were recommended to dine here by friends who own an agriturismo in Larino (Agriturismo d'Uva). Daniele's hospitality, service, courtesy, and friendliness complemented the excellent dishes. We will recommend and will gladly return. Our friends' recommendation was spot on.

During a one-day trip to Matera, after a bit of online research, I decided—somewhat by chance—to have dinner at L’Abbondanza Lucana. The surprise was far beyond my expectations. The restaurant is impeccable in every detail. The service was spot-on: our waiter was both warm and highly professional, offering exactly the right amount of information—no more, no less. Every dish we ordered was simply incredible, both in flavor and presentation, and the complimentary tastings they offered were equally delightful. The entire dining experience crowned an already extraordinary day in this unique city, ending it on the perfect note. Prices were more than fair—in fact, I’d say they were on the low side for the quality we received. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Matera. It’s a true gem.

High-class restaurant, with revisited dishes of the Lucanian tradition

Typical Lucanian cuisine of the highest quality, served in a modern and elegant setting. Exemplary staff.

Delicious food, excellent service, prices in line with the quality offered, now when I want to make a good impression on someone I know where to go.
