I migliori ristoranti in Matera

31/07/2025: Mediocre place Cost-effective and poorly prepared food They made us sit in front of the half-open kitchen door (probably broken) so we were surrounded by dishes and a coming and going of people 3€ wine charged 20€ Very kind waiter At least the place was well air-conditioned

30/07/2025: Everything went badly. Terrible service, extremely poor quality food, and ridiculous prices despite the 50% discount. A soulless place, and all the dishes don't match the ingredients listed on the menu. Cream is added to all the first courses to make them creamier, but it's never mentioned in the ingredients listed on the menu. EVERYTHING IS IN BAD TASTE. The "owner" is completely indifferent to complaints, with only one response: "UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THE WAY IT IS." It's absurd that these things happen. His intent is to pass off tasteless dishes made with substandard ingredients as typical Matera cuisine. An insult to this beautiful city. It would be better to examine their conscience instead of scamming customers. Everything is in disgustingly bad taste, and prices are inflated for customers who book with The Fork. Highly not recommended. Better to close. A terrible experience from every perspective. They say to err is human, and to persevere is diabolical. In this case, the error was deliberate because nothing could be saved. 100% not recommended. Perhaps you've confused me with someone else. I'm not a baker, so I have nothing to recommend. I'm just a customer who was mistreated and served pitiful, inedible food. I should also add that I booked through The Fork, but to prevent me from posting a negative review, the owner canceled my reservation and gave me a paper receipt that expired in 2020 and is worthless. So, he was also dishonest. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

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.

06/08/2025: I am a kitchen assistant, dishwasher, baker, barbecue chef and I need €12 per hour.

01/08/2025: Nice and simple restaurant with the most friendly staff we've seen so far in Italy, the waitress was smiling, sincerely))

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 👍👍👍

22/06/2025: Despite the helpful staff, after a sleepless night due to the humidity in the room, we preferred to leave the hotel. Although the staff admitted the problem, they asked for payment for the night not used, offering me a discount of €20, an almost offensive discount in the face of an obvious disservice. I would add that on the morning of departure a hotel technician was trying to repair the air conditioning, perhaps necessary to improve the situation, which in my opinion was unacceptable. All the good things that the hotel offers are ruined by this unfortunate aspect. Highly discouraged.

25/03/2025: We stayed in this "neighborhood" property in Sasso Cavoso. The cave rooms are carefully renovated and very comfortable. Very good buffet breakfast, with also typical products. The owners are really kind and helpful. Beautiful stay.

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.

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!

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! :)

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.

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.

10/08/2025: Orecchiette was niet te eten. Was iets opgewarmd in de microgolfoven. Totaal geen smaak. Deed me denken aan een cup van Knorr, maar dan veeeeeel slechter. Wegblijven!

10/07/2025: Just poor! At least the toilets are clean

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 .

14/06/2025: I often go to Blue Moon, even this morning, and I have to say that I go there for the quality of the products but there is a constant......the rudeness of the employees. Except for one who is always smiling, the others always have the look of wanting to be somewhere else and that you are bothering them with your order. I have years of experience working in contact with the public, 7 of which in bars and I know what I'm talking about.....I've swallowed so many of those things but I've never made angry faces even at customers with the most absurd demands.

22/02/2025: I never had words to describe this bar-pastry shop. Every Sunday I'm there, some mornings I'm there with my family and friends. Every time my friend from Bergamo comes I bring him the 'early morning' croissants that are still warm. Alas for me it has always been the best croissant and pastry shop in Matera, But today I have to add the most honest. How fantastic the 'barladies' were to call me to tell me I had lost my wallet. For me this bar has acquired 1000 points in addition to those it already had for cleanliness and excellent quality and friendliness... thanks again.. Always and forever Blue Moon bar ❤️
