Panificio F.lli De Palo In Matera

24/12/2024: We ate yesterday, Sunday, at this Osteria, located in the Sassis of Matera, on the tourist route. We booked early for lunch and asked please for a table with a view of the Sassis. We arrived at the scheduled time and they met the requirements regarding the location of the table and the time of the reservation. We were 5 adults, we ordered 2 portions of “Bread Polpettes” and “Fried Calamari” as starters to share between the 5 of us. Then we ate “Orechiettes with tomato sauce with mushrooms and typical Matera sausage”, “Orechiettes with cime di Rape with dried peppers and anchovies”, “Orechiettes in tomato and basil sauce”; “Formo pasta.” Everything was good, although the food could be classified as average, since the polpettes lacked a little more flavor; The frying was very good and we were also pleased that it was only squid; The pastas were good, although the Orechiettes de cime di monkfish had a lot of leaves instead of cime and you couldn't taste the anchovies, the other pastas were nothing out of the ordinary, neither bad nor splendid. The bill to pay was €160.00 with only 2 beers and 2 bottles of water. There were no desserts. In conclusion it is a regular Osteria and I don't know if I would return. This is not the first time we have had lunch in Matera and I have eaten in places with better food.
