I migliori ristoranti in Matera

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!

21/10/2025: Ordered three different hot drinks at the bar: Americano, hot chocolate, and chocolate coffee. We didn't finish any of them.

18/10/2025: Excellent pastry shop Perfect service The homemade juices are also excellent The outdoor seating is very nice

01/11/2025: Beautiful and well-kept hotel, friendly staff, very nice and interesting excursion with Basilicata Adventure. The main problem was a Halloween party/disco in a room in the small hotel until 2:30 a.m. Even though we were on the second floor, the volume and bass were so high that the bed vibrated. It was a sleepless night and we had to wake up early for the excursion they organized. We recommend notifying guests before booking.

03/10/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, especially the night receptionist, who welcomed me like family, despite my stressful time. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, and the breakfast was generous. With a better shower, it would be perfect!

23/10/2025: We had a wonderful time at this cafe. The owner is lovely and even gave us a tour of the entire former convent. It's magnificent. We drank the best wine of our trip there!

01/10/2025: We had some lunch here and it topped all of our expectations!! The food was amazing and the vibe was just perfect (They also have the famous matera bread which is a must try when you are here). The guy that helped us was really nice and helpful in every way he could, he was even teaching us some fun facts about cork screws :). The view of this place is unmatched and it goes hand in hand with the relaxed vibe that the place holds. When we were eating here it really felt like time stopped. After a bit the cat of the owner came to say hello to us and ended up sitting in my lap🥰 such an adorable fur ball (i called it giuseppe). Would give it 10 stars if i could! Highly recommended!

01/11/2025: There's not much to say about Sisina. She's simply extraordinary, both as a woman and as a host. For us, coming to Basilicata is impossible without stopping here. The commitment and passion with which they cook every time at extremely reasonable prices is a pleasure. It's like stepping back in time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

10/10/2025: A welcoming and authentic atmosphere where you can enjoy traditional Lucanian dishes. A varied menu, excellent dishes, and a fantastic welcome await. Definitely worth a try.

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.

05/09/2025: Good quality food and great service 💗💗

17/08/2025: Excellent baguette shop with fresh, local products. My boyfriend and I went there for dinner and had two baguettes and a platter of cured meats and cheeses. Everything was delicious! However, the service was very slow (despite the place being almost empty). Furthermore, although the baguette shop is open for lunch, it doesn't offer service. Still, highly recommended!

24/08/2025: Yesterday, a friend of mine brought me almond pastries from this pastry shop in Tursi, Piedmont. They're wonderful, incredibly soft, and delicious. The best I've ever tasted. Congratulations!

13/08/2025: Very tasty slices and cakes from a clean and friendly pastry shop.

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.

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!

24/10/2025: Typical tourist restaurant on main plazza. Pizza OK. The other meals are same, mediocre.

19/10/2025: I had dinner yesterday with a friend of mine, excellent food, perfect service, they guided us in choosing food and wine, a wonderful dinner, highly recommended

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

23/09/2025: It's centrally located in the beautiful town of Accettura. The owners are very kind and warmhearted. The food is excellent.

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.

29/10/2025: Very cute restaurant, impeccable service, and a lovely owner. I highly recommend it. The food is good and the value for money is excellent. Enjoy your meal!

29/10/2025: This restaurant is underrated, so disregard the rating. The owner is a charming man who loves his work and is attentive to his guests. We chose several appetizers to sample: a tasting of olive oils (for enthusiasts or those new to olive oil), an excellent octopus salad, and a platter of local charcuterie. The main courses are varied and offer something for everyone. That day, they featured specialties with mushrooms from Matera and lamb tataki (a marvel!). The desserts are also excellent. But above all… the wine cellar! Housed in a former cistern in the city, the wine list is a veritable encyclopedia! Highly recommended.

19/10/2025: We stayed here twice in early December 2024, and we had a wonderful time! The atmosphere was casual and clean, the food excellent, and the traditional Lucanian cuisine "just like it used to be." Michele and his entire family are wonderful people! They helped us organize a birthday party, and his wife even made us a spectacular ricotta cake! Thanks again for everything!

04/10/2025: Unique place!! Fantastic staff, they really make you feel at home, extraordinary and super hospitable, food? More than excellent, in fact excellent, more than fresh products and truly made with love, they remind me of my grandmother's cooking 😍 here and really you have to try and have to return, because believe me you can't do without it!!
