I migliori ristoranti in Basilicata

08/09/2025: We had lunch here by chance, without knowing it, and I have to say we really enjoyed it. It's a quiet place surrounded by nature. The food was excellent and of good quality. My son, who is celiac, was treated to a real breaded cutlet and French fries, which is not a given! I highly recommend it!

06/09/2025: I honestly don't recommend it: the place is nice, but the prices aren't given, the menu isn't on paper, and the waitress doesn't have to tell you online either, the coffee is served in a paper cup, not a mug, the ice cream is frozen when you order it, and it needs at least 20 minutes to warm up, the food is good, but not up to the price they charge. If four people have to pay €130 for a house menu that's not even complete, then it's better to stay home, where you'll probably eat even better.

12/10/2025: Restaurant recommended by friends in the area. Truly a stunning location, friendly and very professional staff. Excellent and well-seasoned food. Highly recommended.

12/10/2025: An elegant atmosphere, friendly staff, you feel at ease, delicious quality food

27/09/2025: A superb experience at Ferro e Fuoco! Delicious meat, with a menu that respects the local area and embraces innovation! The staff is truly friendly, with a special mention for Luisa, whose return has brought the restaurant's usual cheerful atmosphere back! I'll be back soon.

27/09/2025: Great place!! Excellent food! Mrs. Luisa and her husband are wonderful!

21/10/2025: We spent a lovely weekend at Pago. The atmosphere is very rustic and decidedly clean, with locally sourced cuisine using top-quality ingredients. We had the opportunity to dine and have breakfast on the property, and what can I say? All the ingredients were excellent, with generous breakfasts featuring yogurt, fruit, nuts, jams, and homemade desserts. Dinner also included a selection of simple and elaborate dishes, all unique and delicious. We also visited their farm several times, where my daughter was entertained by many new animal friends. It's conveniently located between Nova Siri, Rotondella, and Policoro. Definitely an experience worth repeating and highly recommended.

18/10/2025: We felt like royalty at the Il Pago farmhouse. We met Piera by chance, and she immediately became a friend, extremely helpful and professional, humane, and a good adviser on what to do in the area. She was a welcome I've never experienced before. She's an animal lover, and she made us feel at ease right away. We let our little girl play with the farm animals, and we met so many wonderful people, not to mention her brother, who is a whiz in the kitchen. We were so lucky to meet them and will definitely be visiting them again and again. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: They welcomed us with delicious bran peppers dipped in pumpkin puree (a typical Lucanian dish). All the food was delicious, from the starter to the dessert. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff was very welcoming. The restaurant overlooks the Sassi district for a historic and evocative view, and even the interior had a typical Matera atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the center of Matera!

29/10/2025: Delicious food, beautiful views.

29/09/2025: Highly recommended, very kind staff, like staying at home

08/09/2025: The best place to eat in Castelmezzano, always a guarantee for a quick snack or lunch or dinner!

14/09/2025: We arrived without a reservation and were warmly welcomed. The place is charming and well-kept, the service is excellent and the staff is very kind.

08/09/2025: We went to this place without a reservation. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the staff friendly. The service was impeccable. The food was very good. We'll be back.

05/10/2025: I returned after a long time. The place was packed (practically full), but despite that, the service was quick and attentive. We started with a quick selection of appetizers, all of which were very good, tasty, and delicate. Then we had two more starters, appetizers... excellent, and for the main course, a sea bass cooked in salt, incredibly fresh and tender. Then, the perfect finale: sorbet and desserts. The drinks were top-notch. A top rating, we'll definitely be back, but very soon.

24/09/2025: I never expected to find a place like this in Melfi... a beautiful location, modern but tasteful furnishings... even the exterior is decidedly beautiful and unique... dishes are well-prepared and "designed", the girl in the dining room is very friendly and knowledgeable and endowed with innate class, as is the gentleman, I imagine the owner... excellent quality/price ratio... in short, a very pleasant surprise... don't miss it...

09/09/2025: Fast service, excellent dishes, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

08/09/2025: An ideal place for a quick meal without sacrificing quality, both in service and food. Professional and helpful staff, and a friendly and welcoming owner. The fried flowers with mozzarella and anchovies are delicious, while the spaghetti with mussels and green beans is flavorful and plentiful. If you're passing through or staying in Policoro, it's definitely a must-try.

15/10/2025: Sandwiches and salads very well served.

13/10/2025: Thanks to the lovely female staff member who was always smiling and kind, we had a happy and satisfying experience. Her warm attitude added a positive touch to our trip.

22/10/2025: Simple but good food. A bit expensive for what's served. I wouldn't recommend it.

20/10/2025: Excellent quality raw materials, excellent service.

28/08/2025: We went to Iris on a trip to the Anzi observatory. The staff made us feel welcome and served us drinks before opening time so that we were comfortable. Food was great. Highly recommend if you are heading up to the observatory to stop here for a bite first.

20/08/2025: Diner was good. Everything was delicous. But the biscotti they also sell in various flavours were the best I ever had! I kid you not!

02/10/2025: Awesome aperol spritz and negroni, very friendly Staff. Highly recommend!

16/09/2025: Besides having very nice and affordable wine, I left my wallet there and the business managed to find me on social media and took the time to mail it to me. Incredibly kind of them to do so.

08/10/2025: Randomly walked into a restaurant, the cheese appetizer was very good, the steak was also good, and the pasta was average.

06/10/2025: I just got back from dinner at this Osteria. First of all, the bruschetta was very good, the only redeeming feature along with the atmosphere. The lasagna was a disgrace; it was four tapas with no filling, a small piece of meat, two salami pieces, and nothing else... And it's not cheap. The dessert was flavorless and very poor quality. Honestly, if I were to return to Matera, this place is not recommended.
