Special restaurant in a special location among the stones. We ate outside. Excellent cold cuts and stracciatella platter. The cod with chickpea sauce was delicious. My friends didn't like the sliced steak. 1 bottle of wine Price €46 per person

This a place we now visit every time we come to Matera. The "taster" starter is a must to try, each following course is fab. Outstanding was the orange cheesecake. Little touches like end of meal coffees come in individual mokka pots, just make the experience special.

Bel emplacement pour ce restaurant. Les serveurs sont sérieux et attentifs. En revanche, le service du vin est désinvolte. On ne fait pas goûter le vin et le serveur tache la table. Plats corrects. On s’attendait à mieux.
Very refined and exquisite food

La location è bellissima, estremamente tipica.
Il menù è ottimo, tutto molto buono, di alta qualità, la carne è eccellente.
Il servizio è efficiente e molto cortese.
Il conto è altino, ma assolutamente adeguato alla proposta offerta.

Delicious food, don’t need a reservation. Fava bean sauce was delightful, would recommend the della casa (mix of vegetable dishes) as a starter.

Nice restaurant, characteristic, welcoming, with friendly staff and excellent food, gluten-free options, in a wonderful location like that of the Sassi of Matera.

Ristorante Francesca offers fine dining with a view and atmosphere to match. Located right on Via Bruno Buozzi with views of the Sassi, the terrace is breathtaking at sunset. The menu is refined but rooted in local tradition. I had the cavatelli with dried crusco peppers and ricotta – a perfect mix of creamy and smoky – while my partner chose the lamb chops with a balsamic glaze and wild herbs. Presentation was beautiful, and service was polished but never stiff. The sommelier was happy to guide us through local wines and even gave us a tasting flight. Dessert – a ricotta and pear cake – was delicate and perfectly sweet. Expect to spend a bit more here (€50–€60 per person), but the experience is worth it. Perfect for a romantic evening in Matera.
Excellent food and friendly service. Great wine sold by the glass.
