I migliori ristoranti in Matera

10/08/2025: A highly recommended place – everything here is just right. From the moment you enter, you are warmly greeted and looked after by the extremely friendly staff. The menu offers a very good selection, the quality of the food and drinks is outstanding, and everything is offered at absolutely fair prices. One detail that particularly stands out: The restrooms are exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and – something unusual in Italy – equipped with a toilet seat and sufficient toilet paper. This shows how much emphasis is placed on comfort and cleanliness here. No matter what time of day you come – whether for breakfast, a relaxed lunch, a leisurely dinner, or just for a drink – you always feel welcome here. The location is perfect: right in the center and directly across from the church, so you can wonderfully observe the hustle and bustle of the town. A place you'll gladly return to and one I can wholeheartedly recommend.

16/05/2025: The Italian specialties are very good!

07/12/2025: A completely negative experience. The restaurant is nice, but the rest is beyond praise. The food is based on onions, and the flavors are zero. The meatballs are practically tasteless. The tomatoes weren't cooked at all. The staff were friendly. Everything else was negative. Never again. And I think the people who leave positive reviews don't know what the food means. You have to know how to handle the poverty of the place.

05/12/2025: Bad food for a much too expensive price, it had been cleaned outside

09/09/2025: I've been going to this place for at least 15 years: everything is good, and it's a quiet place that everyone can enjoy. The only downside is that, since it's often very crowded, Enzo (the owner) sometimes forgets to serve you at your table. Overall, I recommend everyone to come to this bar and pastry shop: it's truly excellent!

30/07/2025: Excellent bar for breakfast or takeaway street food. I recommend it.

07/11/2025: Our favorite breakfast spot in Madera. La Bruschetta / Cristally Zucchro.

26/10/2025: Small restaurant offering very good local cuisine, both for pasta and desserts, excellent value for money. Very friendly welcome! We recommend.

25/07/2025: An absolutely wonderful experience – it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. We stayed here for 2 nights in July for summer holiday, and were completely enchanted by the surroundings. The cozy farmhouse overlooks endless wheat fields, which had just been harvested when we arrived. The golden landscape stretched out to the horizon – peaceful, dreamy, and simply stunning. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast, beautifully presented and full of variety. It was the perfect start to the day, enjoyed in a calm and charming countryside setting. The host was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They gave us great recommendations for hidden gems around Matera that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Everything about this place brought a sense of peace and warmth – the kind of countryside experience we absolutely love and will never forget.

20/06/2025: Un très bel endroit au milieu de la campagne du Basilicate et à quelques kilomètres de Matera. Accueil parfait, et en français. Une chambre très confortable et le lendemain, un petit déjeuner superbe, avec les produits de la ferme et venant aussi des alentours. À recommander absolument

03/10/2025: Nice place, having eaten there I could tell if it's good. (False is good)

03/09/2025: The name of the place refers only to piadinas, but it turns out to be a fantastic pizzeria. The pizza resembles Neapolitan pizza not in terms of the crust but rather in the dough. The selection of pizzas, piadinas, and pucce is vast. There's plenty of seating outside, less inside. The customer traffic is high, which is certainly a sign of its great success. I'll be back to try all the flavors!

21/10/2025: We loved it. The food was spectacular, and the prices were very affordable. Highly recommended.

12/10/2025: We had lunch today with a group from an organized tour, we ate well, home cooking, excellent service, kindness and courtesy.

08/10/2025: We were very happy that we stumbled into this restaurant, and that it was open during the siesta time . Very friendly, great atmosphere, the food was very very good. What I love the most- the burger was without the bun. Great!!!! And fried potatoes were absolutely delicious

14/09/2025: Everything was perfect We ate very well Quality service Quality food Excellent location

10/11/2025: Hidden gem outside the tourist part of Matera. Great pizza, very friendly staff, typical familly owned business place we love to go. They dont speak English but the menu is in English so no problem. Dont expect a francy restaurant but if you want good pizza and nice place to spend the evening this is it. Price of a normal pizza is 9 Euro and 18 for the big one. We also received free desert and a local drink. We will be back on our next Matera trip

20/10/2025: A somewhat dated restaurant not far from the historic center of the famous city of Matera. Good pizza with quality ingredients, acceptable service (all disposable equipment used), and the place could use a renovation. Average price for the service offered.

27/08/2025: We've been trying to book for 3 years...we've succeeded now, what can I say, excellent dishes, good prices...we'll definitely be back, we'll book in June 🤣🤣

24/08/2025: Today we finally ate at this restaurant. It's very difficult to find a table because it's always packed. Beautiful location near the sea. The staff is very friendly. The food is good quality and well-prepared. Lunch was seafood-based. I especially recommend the seafood paccheri. We had a variety of appetizers and two first courses. The portions were so generous that we couldn't finish the second course. I recommend trying this restaurant. Book at least two weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.

29/11/2025: I have stayed in this hotel several times for work reasons and I am happy to return both for the service and the cuisine and for the price

25/11/2025: A typical seaside hotel. The interior is showing its age, although some of the room finishes are appreciable. The staff is very young and helpful; perhaps lacking in attention, but certainly pleasant, and any small shortcomings are readily forgiven. The breakfast isn't particularly extensive, but the products are high-quality. The price, finally, is reasonably reasonable, especially considering the service received.

14/10/2025: An elegant bar with meticulous attention to detail. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. A wide selection of high-quality products, from breakfast to aperitifs, is available. The aperitif, in particular, is truly fantastic: rich, beautifully presented, and made with select ingredients. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the best.

06/09/2025: A quaint and unique bar in Irsina. Fabulous 😋😉 An unmissable stop! We'll be back

05/11/2025: I stopped by chance for a quick lunch. The place is beautiful and accessible. There's ample street parking and an adjacent parking lot. The food is excellent, and the service is indeed fast and excellent. Perhaps the initial impression could have been better, in the sense that having never been there before, I wasn't sure how it worked. They didn't neglect me; I just arrived at peak traffic. That's why I wrote MAYBE. Of course, during peak times, one can put in all their effort, but it still becomes difficult. Excellent work. I'll definitely return every time I'm in the area.
