I migliori ristoranti in Matera

14/07/2025: We had lunch at Chimera today. We tried all the appetizers and I have to say we were completely satisfied! The first courses were top-notch.... And the mixed fried fish was nothing short of exceptional. Thank you for delighting us with all of this!

09/07/2025: Rustic location, efficient waiter, good food, but a few things need work. We ordered the €8 portion of anchovies served on a small plastic cake plate with nine anchovies inside (the portion was much smaller than the one shown in the photos) and a grilled dish. For two, we ate for one (an appetizer, if we want to call it that, and a main course) for €40. At the cash register, the owner neither thanked us nor said goodbye, and she gave us the €50 change condescendingly while she was on the phone. Where's the hospitality towards tourists? We're still looking for it.

20/08/2025: The appetizer and pizza are forgettable. Decent service. Try it when it's not crowded.

19/08/2025: Excellent service Superlative food Welcoming and welcoming Excellent decor

30/08/2025: We didn’t think it was possible to find bad tasting food in Italy, but we did. The pastas were awful, the wine was mediocre. Even the antipasti was not as good as all the other places. The man serving the food has hygiene issues. Also very expensive compared to other places here.

24/08/2025: A terrible experience even before we sat down; in fact, we didn't even sit down. Booking through TheFork allows you to get a table for 8 and confirm the reservation without a hitch. Upon arrival, not only was our reservation missing, but the particularly rude owner told us they didn't take reservations for 8 and wouldn't give us two tables for 4.

27/09/2024: Locale informale, bella terrazza esterna, servizio veloce e cameriere gentile ; pizza veramente buona, sottile e ben condita Bravi!!

30/08/2024: 2 days before we were there we met the owner on our walk. Very very friendly. When we said we didn't have a vehicle she told us we should come at 7pm instead of 8pm when they open. We did that too and she gave us a nice place. We then ate bruschetta twice, wonderfully fresh small tomatoes with rocket and dried peppers. Then a pizza salami and a capricossa. We drank cola and shandy. We felt good in this pizzeria today. When we paid we had €27 on the bill for everything. At the end we wanted to say goodbye and thank you when the boss asked a man to drive us to our facility, 2.5 km away. Really great on the unlit streets, thank you Grazie. Experience the full hospitality 👍👍👍

15/08/2025: I can finally return to this 24-hour bar! Thanks to Maurizio, who takes care of security, we can return without having our peace of mind interrupted by the bizarre characters who frequent it.

06/08/2025: The guys were thorough and saved me from recharging my Postepay over 24 hours, and not only that. Punctual service in all aspects of business; service; cleanliness, comfort, etc. Thank you so much.

22/07/2025: Self-service lunch. Price range: €15

05/05/2025: A few days ago we had lunch at Break Paradise as a family of four... The pasta was raw, the sauce watery!! Things are frozen and dry. I don't recommend...

19/05/2025: Sunday lunch. Booked in advance. The place was packed beyond capacity, even blocking the wheelchair ramp. The food didn't arrive. After the appetizer, which wasn't enough for the number of people we were, we decided to leave. It was impossible to continue in that chaos and we had been at the table for almost two hours. The owner treated us terribly, very arrogant. We paid too much for the misery they brought us.

12/05/2025: It was an experience to forget. Since the restaurant was full, the staff immediately seemed very annoyed at having to be there, but apart from that, there is no menu so you eat what is told to you verbally without a price or an indication of allergens or whether it is frozen or not. After ordering, we first received the pasta with tomato sauce for the children (cold), then the appetizers in measly portions because, we discovered later, they had mixed up the table orders and so we ate (and paid) for a table of 8, but with portions for a table of 4. The worst is yet to come, in fact the second courses arrived before the first courses and despite this the meat was cold and we had to send it back because it tasted rancid, as if it had been cooked and left there. Disgusted, but still respectful and polite, we wanted to address the problem to the cashier, but avoiding unnecessary confrontations; except that the lady at the checkout started shouting, pointing at us and saying "they're waiting because they want to argue". Well dear lady, if we had wanted to argue we would have had every reason, because you don't give spoiled food to people, especially at a table with two two year old children. We (over)paid and left certain that you will never see us again because that's not how you work in a serious way, I'm sorry for other unfortunate people who, like us, will stumble upon your ineptitude.

02/06/2025: ci siamo fermati casualmente in questo panificio con degli amici per mangiare un pezzo di focaccia venduta a peso d’oro e nemmeno di qualità, ma il problema fondamentale è la scortesia e la maleducazione della titolare giovane che ci ha preso a parolacce solo per aver chiesto il costo al chilo della focaccia, essendo noi dei locali e non dei turisti. Da non tornare assolutamentela focaccia non è nemmeno di qualità. Avrei lievitato la recensione se non fossi stata presa a parolacce dalla titolare.

26/05/2025: The best focaccia and bread in town. Awesome, definitely go there for breakfast or lunch and enjoy the view! Highly recommended! :)

22/07/2025: Abbiamo trascorso una serata durante la settimana con amici, siamo rimasti molto delusi dalla lunga (40 minuti circa)attesa delle pizze visto che la pizzeria era quasi vuota e dal prezzo finale. La location è tipica dei sassi e la pizza è 4 su 5 come voto. Abbiamo pagato 13€ cadauna per una birra artigianale e 30€ per 10 sporca musso. Diciamo che abbiamo considerato il prezzo finale alto. Inoltre nell'attesa delle pizze abbiamo notato che il proprietario tra una comanda e l'altra stava mangiando accanto a noi, scena poco cortese per un cliente. Sicuramente la prossima volta eviteremo questo locale.

20/06/2025: Service pitoyable commande prise 1 h après notre arrivée, amabilité zéro , le premier mange et le dernier mange 45 mn plus tard ...nul .

05/06/2025: Delicious pizzas for local prices where you sit among the locals. While eating your pizza you can do your laundry in the adjacent laundromat and dry it. Recommended!

30/05/2025: Très bonne expérience dans ce restaurant, des plats locaux qui nous changent des pâtes quotidiennes. Le patron parle un très bon français

23/05/2025: Primer plato escaso y quemado (legumbres) Segundo plato también escaso. Cuando sirvieron la escasa ensalada, hacía tiempo que habíamos terminado el segundo El postre no llegaron a servirlo después de una larga espera. Falta de limpieza. Pésima atención por falta de personal.

23/08/2025: A restaurant that's neither praiseworthy nor infamous. We ate inside, which was uninviting. The waiters were very welcoming, but that's not enough, as the bathrooms were dirty and there were no paper towels to dry your hands. The meatballs didn't live up to expectations; they were rubbery, and for the price, they weren't worth it. The selection of cured meats was very good.

12/08/2025: The octopus, the pasta carbonara, the pasta with bean cream. Everything was delicious! The two servers were adorable (thank you Nicola) DOLCE FARNIENTE ☺️

03/09/2025: Stumbled into this café by chance after exploring Matera's sassi for a refreshing break. A delicious aperitif, well-balanced with traditional appetizers and homemade hummus. A must-visit midway through your visit.

28/08/2025: Extremely kind staff, attentive to all customer requests, with boundless patience! Highly recommended!
