Ristorante Mater In Poppi

Michelin-starred restaurant. Excellent

Yesterday, we went to lunch at Mater for the first time. As soon as you enter, you find yourself in a beautiful, light-filled space with a stunning view of the mountains of the Casentino forests. A restaurant with many material references to the forest. The long glass window with the open kitchen is stunning, where you can watch chef Filippo and his team bustle about. The tables are well-spaced to ensure excellent privacy. You're then pleasantly welcomed by Marta, who manages the dining room with what I'd call excellent service. You can tell she loves her job and is truly professional. I can definitely say that Marta truly adds value to this Michelin-starred restaurant. You sit at the tables and are pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail in the table settings, with truly refined, sometimes even vintage, objects. The dining room staff is very welcoming, kind, but not intrusive. The cuisine is highly refined while maintaining the local flavours, with produce from the garden you can see outside on the terrace. Marta's particular attention to detail in preparing highly sophisticated cocktails and liqueurs (like absinthe) at the end of the meal is also very pleasing. We'll definitely be back...maybe for dinner because I think it's a wonderful atmosphere. Congratulations and keep up the good work...Marta and Filippo!!!! See you soon!!!!! Thank you!! Fabio and Cinzia

Everything was excellent, a beautiful, high-quality route, well-maintained, and attentive. An opportunity to visit Casentino and its beautiful forests.

Exceptionel haute cuisine in the middle of a forest close to Poppi. Forest inspired menu with seasonal only produce. Service was amazing and of great interaction. 100-120 € p.P. for a nice 4-course dinner.

Congratulations again for the wonderful experience

A truly interesting and flawless tasting experience, with strong yet refined and perfectly balanced flavors. The ambiance is beautiful both inside and out. Attention to detail and a focus on elegance are the common denominators. The staff is welcoming and attentive to every need. What more can I say? It was truly a pleasure, and I'll definitely be back next time. I don't have any photos because I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, the music, and the hospitality. Highly recommended!

We visited Mater with our family and had a truly wonderful experience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The restaurant is meticulously designed, with an enchanting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel special. The service was impeccable: attentive, professional, and always smiling. We chose the "Forest" menu, a truly surprising nine-course experience. Each dish was carefully crafted, with flavors and aromas reminiscent of nature: throughout the entire dinner, we truly felt immersed in the forest. It wasn't just a dinner, but a complete sensory experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something different. We'll definitely be back!

This is truly a charming place, with a fantastic atmosphere, a professional yet warm welcome, and an excellent, unpretentious menu. It's beautiful in the evening, and I think it's equally enjoyable for lunch with a view of the entire valley. We loved it and will definitely be back. Thank you.

Best dinner we've ever had, this place is a gem! Every meal is a little work of art. Thank you so much!

Dining at the Mater restaurant means enjoying an immersive experience, filled with nature, warmth, food, and hospitality. We were impressed by what Marta and Filippo, two young, competent, and welcoming professionals, have created. Congratulations, we'll be back!
