I migliori ristoranti in Matera

08/12/2025: A thousand thanks again for this incredible birthday evening that you managed to make truly magical. Thank you Nico and Chef Gabriele Marino for your kindness, your thoughtful touches, and your professionalism; my partner's eyes were shining with joy. 🙏

16/11/2025: The place is very nice and the staff very attentive. I ordered a filet alla Rossini because I was craving meat. They asked me how I wanted it cooked and explained that it would come with potatoes and Madeira sauce. When I cut into my steak, it turned out to be a beet! I couldn't believe it. It wasn't even good enough for a vegan dish. A vegan dish is prepared, not just a boiled beet. Anyway, they replaced it and admitted their mistake. They brought me some very well-prepared meat, but a very small portion. And everything was very expensive. But the beet incident will go down in history as a funny anecdote.

20/03/2026: The savory and sweet panzerotti are delicious. The staff is friendly.

16/03/2026: It's a pleasant meeting point for workers, good food, good service, fair prices.

11/12/2025: We stumbled upon Piaceri dell’Arrosto on the recommendation of locals. The location is immersed in nature, amidst the chirping of birds and the surrounding trees. The staff is courteous and friendly, not to mention the dishes, plentiful and excellent. I don't eat meat, but, despite the name, they have several vegetarian options, from appetizers to first courses. I'll definitely be back!

30/08/2025: Very nice place, grilled meat, salads and super top wine, very kind and friendly waiter, we will be back soon

13/03/2026: There is no such magical place as this!

08/03/2026: We had a great time. Beautiful location overlooking the Sassi. We ate very well.

21/12/2025: The classic focaccia is excellent, the crispy onion focaccia roll is divine, the bread is well-cooked and very tasty, and the panettone is definitely worth trying too, what can I say, a pearl of a bakery!

02/11/2025: Excellent quality meat and very kind staff

27/09/2025: I'll start by telling you about the super welcome... Impeccable service, very hospitable, always available... Let's talk about the flavor of their products. There's no need for long words, just stop by and try their meat... They have a wide selection, from carpaccio to tartar, many delicious things like pistachio bombette with truffles and much more... the ribs or the slices on lava stone taste impeccable... A place worth returning to, in fact, I'm coming back with large tables... See you next time, girls, but it won't be long now ❤️❤️❤️❤️

02/10/2025: Very good panzerotti. Local fish and chips with excellent cod and superb potatoes.

06/08/2025: Very nice place, very kind, courteous, and helpful staff, excellent quality panzerotti: not overflowing with filling, nor empty, just the right balance to enjoy the filling without getting dirty. Highly recommended. I really enjoyed it. I plan to stop by again despite the hour and a half drive!

16/11/2025: The pizza is excellent for those who love thin, crispy pizza.

15/08/2025: The atmosphere and location were very nice, as were the staff and the service, which was fast and friendly. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good. Many dishes were sold out (the tripe and the fusilli). The appetizer of cured meats and cheeses also included other dishes (all potato-based): stewed fava beans, cruschi peppers, followed by cavatelli with cherry tomatoes and ricotta cheese, and cavatelli with breadcrumbs. The pasta was overcooked and I think precooked. It must have been a bad day. The prices are absolutely not high.

14/04/2026: We had a very beautiful experience at this place. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the food was delicious. Worth trying!!!!

12/04/2026: If you're looking for a cozy place with wonderful food, accompanied by very attentive and friendly service and good music, Acquasala deserves a visit. Thank you Elisa and the whole team!

20/02/2026: Welcoming place. Luciano and his staff were extremely kind and attentive to every need. We had the honor of having lunch on a rather busy day as the Carnival float parade was underway. They recommended the rafanata, a truly delicious traditional Stigliano Carnival dish. I hope to return soon. Everything else about the lunch was top-notch. 👍 Thank you.

17/11/2025: Reading the name of this place I thought of warmth and genuine food, purely local. But I changed my mind, I only found commercial products from the supermarket for which I paid well above the average.

03/11/2025: I am writing this review without even having entered the restaurant to inform you that the staff was rude to say the least.

02/11/2025: 10/10 !! EPIC SPOT , EPIC SANDWICHES, EPIC APEROL.

03/01/2026: Wonderful place, with a starred menu.

03/11/2025: Sala Ermica, the place that made us dream, the place that welcomed us for our wedding... Wonderful day 😍 And what can we say about Anna, the owner? She's a delightful person, very approachable, extremely knowledgeable about everything, very professional, and incredibly friendly. 🤭 We can only compliment Maitre Walter, who was so attentive to every moment; he even "sequestered" us at our table so we could eat at least one course the entire day. This truly touched us, because he showed a level of thoughtfulness we'd never seen before. Our compliments to the chef, he has golden hands. Whatever he cooks comes to life. Every single dish we tasted, every single one we ate, well, left you speechless. Every ingredient was perfectly proportioned, and even things we don't eat or like every day had a completely different flavor when cooked by him. Sublime. Everything was magically sublime! Sala Ermica, 5 stars and beyond 🥰

18/03/2026: Excellent pizza, tasty and light. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. We had a really good time, we'll definitely be back! ❤️

02/03/2026: We discovered Eleat 2.0 through social media and were already struck by the friendly response. Then we entered a place with a tasteful design and extremely friendly staff. We immediately felt welcome, and between one delicious zucchini flower after another, we met Mr. Vito. A true Matera native with a Tuscan accent, he acted as our guardian throughout the evening, sharing his cheerfulness and stories of his family. The star of the evening was an extraordinary pizza with crispy, light edges and quality ingredients. Generous in its shapes, delicate in its flavors. We were completely satisfied, and even received a discount at the checkout. We paid for one pizza out of two. We'll be back soon because this place is full of smiles and delicious food! Thanks to all the staff.

03/11/2025: Delicious soups, cream of broad bean soup, and a soup made with various legumes are all delicious. Very friendly service and decent prices. I recommend it 😊

03/11/2025: An absolute hit in Matera and a must-try! Delicious regional Chelinda beer and homemade soups – cream of broad bean soup and lentil soup. A delicious taste from my childhood. Thanks for the delicious taste!

16/03/2026: A truly pleasant discovery. The two appetizers, octopus and shrimp carpaccio, were exceptional. It's hard to choose the best. After the deliciousness of the appetizer, I expected a little more from the first course (linguine with scampi), even though it was still very good. The only downside was the service was a bit slow, but that didn't detract from the experience. I'll definitely be back!

11/02/2026: Friendly staff, local meat and seafood dishes. Delicious mixed fried fish. Lactose-free options available.
