I migliori ristoranti in Matera

01/11/2025: A restaurant in the heart of the Murgia Materana, excellent food and good prices, saving you a few euros compared to others on the same street. The restroom is clean despite the busy streets. You can eat inside or outside on the panoramic terrace. They don't accept lunch after 2:30 PM; I recommend arriving at 12:30 PM. After 1:00 PM, the number of people arriving is at a peak, although they do arrive fairly quickly.

31/10/2025: An absolute disgrace. The only reason I ended up here was because everything else was closed for siesta — and what a punishment that turned out to be. I honestly have no idea how this dump has a high rating. Every dish was an insult to the ingredients it was made from. It takes real “talent” to ruin food this badly. Whoever is in that kitchen shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a stove — they clearly have zero respect for taste, or for the people they’re serving. The salad was borderline edible (and still too acidic), but the rest was a complete disaster. If this is considered acceptable cooking in Italy, then the country’s entire culinary reputation is in serious trouble. This place is a tourist trap of the worst kind — disgusting, overpriced, and shameless. I left furious and offended that this kind of garbage is being sold as food.

08/12/2025: We had lunch here and the review was overwhelmingly positive. The atmosphere is familiar and welcoming. The pappardelle with mushrooms and truffles is highly recommended. Delicious!

26/09/2025: Locanda Pezzolla is a place where you feel right at home. Homemade cuisine and a warm welcome await you.

27/11/2025: Giving this restaurant less than 5 stars would be a crime. Eating this well is truly rare. Expert hands have prepared this food. Sisina is a heritage worth preserving; she has golden hands. Authentic cuisine, extinct flavors... They still exist here. It seems incredible, but it's all true: everything is homemade and made only with local products. Some might call them "simple flavors," but I call them RARE flavors, hard to find. Kudos to this extraordinary place, which makes everything else seem "ordinary." Bravo, Sisina!

23/11/2025: Excellent cuisine using local products from their tradition. They offer a fixed menu for €35. We were already full with the appetizers, but the two first courses were also delicious. The grilled meat was a bit disappointing (too dry), but overall, everything was good and authentic. The waitress was very kind and attentive.

23/11/2025: We thank Salvatore for the wonderful dinner...thank you Matera!! :)

17/11/2025: Excellent food, friendly staff, nice but not particularly characterful atmosphere, however we had a great time

06/10/2025: Nice place for a glass of prosecco and a dessert. Friendly service, and no table charge.

02/10/2025: The pastries are delicious. The cream is excellent. Recommended by an Italian, and I wasn't disappointed with the quality of the products.

20/08/2025: A truly lovely place with friendly and welcoming staff. My wife and I were there for three nights and had the pleasure of experiencing three different musical evenings, all united by the fun everyone had. The cocktails and beers were good, with a wide selection, but the team, Francesco in particular, made the difference. See you next time and we'll also try the food, since we always arrived after dinner. Thanks for your hospitality.

27/07/2025: make your own potato pork, it's top prepared by my friends

15/07/2025: Vins, charcuterie, pâtes, desserts, tout était excellent. Personnel et cadre sympa. Un peu cher mais les plats en valent la peine.

15/07/2025: Personnel très sympathique. La vue est sublime et le cadre est très agréable. L’huile d’olive est excellente et avec le pain c’est très doux. Aucune faute, tout est parfait ! Ils ont tous les codes de la restauration. Nous vous recommandons spécialement la viande, qui à notre avis est une grande spécialité de cet endroit. Elle est tendre et très goûteuse. On a adoré ! Les pâtes ont un côté plus recherché et innovant. La carte des vins est surprenante, n’hésitez pas à en prendre. Bref, un très bon moment passé en famille. Nous reviendrons sans problème.

23/11/2025: Unfortunately, it was a bad experience. I ordered a Napoli pizza, and this is how it was... the Deliveroo guy apologized, and that's fine. I called the pizzeria to ask why the anchovies were missing from the pizza, and the response was, "I remember putting them on, I have cameras, so I'll take care of it." Now I don't know how the person who appeared to be the owner is trying to cure me, but you shouldn't treat customers who have been ordering from this pizzeria for a long time. But it's fine, I'll change pizzerias.

09/11/2025: Delicious calzones. Great oven 🤤😍

20/06/2025: Superbe sassi /restaurant en retrait de rue avec salle troglodyte pour les temps chauds et belle terrasse Très très bonnes pâtes !

24/05/2025: Abbiamo mangiato all'aperto, angolino delizioso e piatti tipici, tutto molto buono. Servizio impeccabile e silenzioso, peccato...credevo ci fosse più vista da seduti...ma basta affacciarsi che la splendida Matera appare in tutta la sua bellezza.

16/11/2025: A casual yet clean and refined restaurant, with a wide selection of dishes featuring high-quality ingredients and presentation. The staff is friendly, cheerful, kind, and welcoming. The culinary art in the hands of Chef Pasquale is unmatched! His FRIZZULI WITH CRISPY CRUSCO PEPPER is an experience of erotic pleasure.

16/10/2025: Charming place... impeccable service... welcoming and professional owner... we had a typical Lucanian dish with cod and crusco... speechless.

21/08/2025: This is the second year we've chosen this farmhouse for our holidays, and we can only confirm our overwhelmingly positive experience. The apartments are always very clean and well-maintained, and the welcome is truly special: Ilaria and her parents are extraordinary people, kind and always available. A place that exudes warmth and genuine hospitality.

19/08/2025: We booked for 12:45, went in, and ordered. At 1:23, it was a complete waste of time. Having small children, we asked if they would at least bring us bread, and in response, they told us that they start lunch at 1:00! After showing that it had been a while, they replied that they would start lunch all at once! In the end, we left at 3:00 without having finished lunch, with the full price paid! Not even a discount! The food takes a back seat after this attitude!

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!

10/11/2025: A very positive experience. We spent a day here and received excellent service. We ate very well, the owners were very friendly, and the place was impeccably clean. We'll be back. We recommend it.

10/11/2025: We spent a day at this agriturismo, impeccable in every way: the welcome, the helpfulness, the excellent food, the excellent service, and the cleanliness! The owners were friendly from the start, and the staff were always smiling! The food was all fresh and well-prepared! The location was very tidy, spacious, and beautiful! Highly recommended!

10/11/2025: We supped at this fine tavern, and the atmosphere was most splendid — it bore the spirit of ages past. Food were great. Recommended

09/11/2025: There's better in Matera! Not worth the price!
