30/09/2025: The best ice cream I've ever had in Italy!

28/09/2025: Wow. No, seriously. Wow. I'd go back just for this ice cream.

30/10/2025: A very nice place, located close to the historic center of Matera, near the entrance to the pedestrian area; typical local architecture, tastefully decorated, clean, and quite spacious. The staff is welcoming and friendly, young and well-trained. They quickly seat you and introduce you to the house specialties. The menu features a variety of typical dishes from Matera, including pignata and pignatella. The wine list is good. The ingredients are good. The dishes, well-prepared and presented, in my opinion, the "more elaborate" ones lack a distinctive touch that would highlight their authenticity. The cheese selection is excellent, and the appetizers are good overall. I had the opportunity to try the pignatella; it's a dish that needs to be savored with patience 🌬️. I really liked the flavor. I would have liked a little more meat and even a few pieces of sausage in addition to the crumbled one, but it was still very good. I really enjoyed dipping the dough that serves as the lid for the pignata into the broth at the end. For dessert, we tried the "sporcamusso," which was also delicious: delicate puff pastry, a soft creamy filling with balanced flavors. The only flaw was that the pastry was quite warm, while the creamy filling was cold, even lukewarm. But at that hour, it was nice not to get your face dirty with boiling cream. The quality/price ratio was decent, within the limits of what the market offers, but overall, the place has room for improvement. I will return to try the Pignata. Overall, I recommend going, especially in the evening. Given the proximity to the historic center, after eating, a stroll along the main street of Matera by night was a pleasant experience.

27/10/2025: I recommend the "pignata", excellent!

14/10/2025: I came for lunch with a friend. Nice place, average atmosphere. Service was sterile and dull, both at the reception and at the table. The food was good, but nothing that particularly impressed me. The numerous positive reviews on Google created unrealistic expectations for the experience. I wouldn't return.

14/10/2025: The restaurant is a bit out of the way, so it's nice to eat outside. The food is well-presented and of good quality. The service is excellent, and they accept dogs!

28/08/2025: The pizza was excellent but unfortunately it wasn't the same one I ordered.

21/08/2025: Excellent dishes, rustic but welcoming atmosphere and very fair prices.

23/10/2025: Impolite service with a lot of snobery for an empty restaurant I will give a fair review and the pasta was nice but there are plenty others really within 50 metres that have excellent food and warm service

20/10/2025: Beautiful experience, delicious food and excellent service

28/10/2025: I've never felt so comfortable in a place like at Birrificio! There's an air of freedom and great care for customers and human rights.

26/10/2025: Beautiful little place. Excellent beer...free appetizers. Very friendly staff.

25/10/2025: The best coffee in town. Very good prices and a very nice gentleman behind the counter.

27/09/2025: The ice cream was really good, but very unfriendly service and had to pay more than agreed.

12/10/2025: Ordered a tomato, cheese and prosciutto panini. It was so dry and the tomato was old. I wouldn’t recommend eating here.

10/09/2025: I had a sandwich, and the bread was industrial. Given the location, I would have expected something made with artisanal bread. The service was slow.

15/10/2025: Nice food, tasty beers and friendly staff.

12/10/2025: On the square of Matera, there is a restaurant with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Here you can eat authentic dishes made to order or cold dishes. Everything we tried was exceptionally tasty. Recommended!

26/10/2025: We visited this restaurant twice, once late in the evening, and received wonderful service and excellent regional food. On our second visit, during the day, it was clearly explained to us that we could only eat there, even though some people at the next table were only consuming drinks. The whole thing was communicated to us in a very aggressive and blunt manner. It's a shame, too, as a bit of friendliness would have been appreciated. Therefore, a good average of only three points for both visits.

25/10/2025: Elegant atmosphere, professional staff, good food.

06/09/2025: Nice, historic location. We had some desserts, but they weren't that impressive. The price was above average, so you expect to get above average food. That wasn't the case. Tasteless and colorless. I don't think I'd return...

05/08/2025: This review is exclusively for the della monaca, but that's enough to deserve 5 stars. The lightest Chantilly cream enhances the slightly moist dough, while the more intense pastry cream blends perfectly. Definitely among the best I've tasted in all of Lucania (and the surrounding area). Courtesy and an elegant atmosphere complement a delightful experience here in Matera.

18/05/2025: Wide selection of beers and good variety of menu with excellent performances.

01/05/2025: Excellent and complete service, Giuseppe's macarons are absolutely worth trying! 💓💗💞

13/10/2025: October 12, 2025 - A Meal of Irony First, however, I must offer a few words of praise to Mr. Pino and his family (staff) for welcoming me in the best possible way today for lunch. To Mr. Pino, I simply thank him because, with his politeness, genuineness, and lightheartedness, his ability to convey a love for his work is admirable; things that truly do the soul good. To his staff (family), I can only emphasize their excellent professionalism and friendliness. Why did I describe my meal as "ironic"? Simple, I don't eat fish, but I can't say no to a good plate of spaghetti with clams (delicious). For my second course, since I had a long journey ahead of me, I decided to have the green salad (Bravo! A healthy meal), finishing with a splendid and delicious Chicco di Caffè dessert (And here, I'd say I slipped up) and a classic coffee to round it all off. But before I left, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mr. Pino and "revealing my birthday." Ironically, he wasn't expecting that, and I greatly appreciated both him and his staff wishing me a happy birthday. I plan and hope to return to Mr. Pino's restaurant again, with whom I had the pleasure of spending a small part of my birthday. See you soon. Giuseppe

11/10/2025: Wonderful place Delicious, high-quality food Polite and professional Immaculately clean

17/10/2025: Highly recommended. Excellent local Matera cuisine served in generous portions. The staff is courteous and professional. The restaurant is elegant, with cloth-lined tables. The terrace overlooking the Sassi is actually a window, but considering the reasonable prices, it's a restaurant worth trying.

11/10/2025: Excellent dinner, we asked to be able to dine inside with a view of the Sassi and they obliged us, good and well cooked food

21/10/2025: The view of Matera is very pretty, and at night it's magical. Access is good, but the place is very large, making it impersonal and a bit noisy. The food is good but lacks refinement.

20/10/2025: We dined here as part of the Matera walking tour, and found it to be a very pleasant place with excellent quality dishes. The tour of the cellars was interesting, and compliments to all the staff. Highly recommended!
