Pizzeria da Rocco di Coretti Rocco In Matera

12/12/2025: Cool place set in a cave. Very unique setting but do not offer table service. Food was mediocre, lacking flavour and a little bland. Although they had the best bread that I've had in Italy. Can't comment on service since there wasn't any. There was a person taking orders and clearing tables who was friendly,and efficient.

10/12/2025: We had dinner at La Grotta Del Gusto, a cave restaurant literally across the road from our cave apartment. Given the rough terrain (and rainy weather) we were happy to find such a good restaurant close by. The funny part of it was they have no wait staff! You order at the bar and pick up your food when it’s ready. And no, you don’t need to bus your own table! We started with peperoni cruschi, a specialty of the area. They are sweet peppers that have been dried and fried. They are potato chip-like (and addicting). I had the lamb stew cooked in a terra-cotta pot; she had the cavatelli with cardoncelli mushrooms and sausage, along with a bottle of Primitivo from Basilicata. Perfect comfort food on a cold and damp night!
