I migliori ristoranti in Matera

05/11/2025: Great restaurant with excellent service and location. I tried the Crapiata Materana, a traditional dish from the region, and it was outstanding. Highly recommended!

29/10/2025: Stay away from this place, it’s a total rip-off! We had two spaghetti carbonara dishes and a Glas of water each, and paid 50 euros. The portions were small and didn’t taste good, and they even added a 12-euro tip to the bill without asking. Save your money!

23/08/2025: Miesro in courses and with a salty bill... the owner then is something in between

23/08/2025: You make us ashamed of being from Matera, first of all, because it's true that Matera has become untouchable, and often unjustifiably so. Then it also makes us angry if we're the ones being ripped off. For two, we consume a small plate of carpaccio for €5, a microscopic platter of cured meats and cheeses for €10. So far, almost normal... But consuming a medium-sized rib-eye steak, because I didn't have the pleasure of seeing it being cut, of barely aged heifer, completely devoid of marbling, dry, €47... FORTY-SEVEN euros. Mineral water. Total €70. The next day I ate fish at a seaside restaurant in Puglia, a full meal for two for €75. Shame!!

24/10/2025: They don't give discounts and they charge tourists like us double because they don't have a table displayed.

11/09/2025: I bought some delicious sweets from this pastry shop.

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!

28/10/2025: I have to go for unloading Pisticci,then i decided to stay overnight here ,parking was quite

23/10/2025: Honestly, I've never seen such a dirty place, the staff was rude... never again in a place like that.... I had a coffee and it was literally undrinkable and some chips for the trip that were months out of date.

30/10/2025: What can I say!!! Fantastic place, and the food is truly delicious! It's become my favorite place! Kudos to the owner, Vito, who is incredibly kind. We'll be back whenever we can! A round of applause also for the fried crusco peppers, which not everyone knows how to make the most of! Crispy and cooked to perfection. I'm giving it 5 stars because I can't give more, but it deserves more! See you next time

20/10/2025: On the phone, when you call to make a reservation, Vito answers with a beautiful, clear, and clear voice. When you meet him for the first time at his restaurant, you'll find a passionate, meticulous, and very organized restaurateur in his small, open kitchen, where he reigns supreme. He knows how to guide you through your choices, offering a rich platter of appetizers, enhanced this season with porcini mushrooms (which he himself picks in the Sila mountains), roasted and sliced ​​into carpaccio. The menu also features excellent first courses, just the right number (3), and a wide variety of meats that you can already enjoy with your eyes, all on display in the aging cells or at least displayed at the counter. The wine selection is good. The bill is fair. Thanks Vito, we'll definitely see you again.

08/11/2025: I visited this establishment in the early afternoon, regularly consumed food, and when it came time to use the restroom, I was denied access. The reason given by the indifferent lady at the counter was that the restrooms were "being cleaned" at that precise moment, that is, during full business hours and serving the public. I find this behavior not only disrespectful, but totally unacceptable for a business that serves food and beverages and is obligated to provide restroom facilities to paying customers. Cleaning that completely prevents restroom use during peak hours/afternoon (after a customer has just consumed food) demonstrates a serious lack of organization and attention to the basic needs of customers. Restrooms are not an extra, but a basic necessity. I will not return to a establishment that treats its customers this way. I advise management to review their cleaning policies, perhaps performing them before opening or on a rotating basis, without blocking the only available resource.

26/10/2025: We stopped just for coffee. The lovely waitress advised us on our choice! I had a delicious Crema al caffe. Fantastic! The only downside is the so-called Coperto added to the bill!

12/10/2025: Terrible food, unpleasant smell, non-existent cleanliness, while we were eating flies landed in our faces and on the food, TOTALLY DISADVICED, I couldn't give less than one star

12/10/2025: A terrible experience, one to forget! I hope I don't end up in the hospital because the food was truly awful!

06/09/2025: A simply surreal experience. There were 12 of us, including 7 children, and we just wanted to order pizzas for dinner. I showed up at 7:30 PM to place my order and pay in advance: the response was, "We don't take orders. Come at 9:00 PM and we'll make them for you." Unusual, but I trusted them. At 9:00 PM I returned, hoping that at least the children could eat. The lady at the cash register—rude and clearly annoyed—didn't even have the courage to look in: she disappeared. After minutes of waiting, I asked the pizza chef, who started counting the dough balls and candidly told me, "I can't make them for you." No explanation, no alternative. Just a dismissal with, "Go ahead, there's another pizzeria." The result? A broken promise, no professionalism, total disorganization, and zero respect for families with children. I've never had a similar experience at any other pizzeria. If you want a quiet and reliable evening, the advice is only one: go elsewhere.

05/09/2025: I can't review it was closed for weekly rest

16/09/2025: Terrible experience. It felt like a coffee and beer bar that turned into a restaurant. Perhaps the worst place I've ever eaten. All the fish was definitely frozen and badly cooked. The service needs to be reconsidered, the wait staff definitely not up to the job they're supposed to do. The lobster packets should be renamed "some pacchero al pomodoro," the octopus tasted like chewing gum, the wine was even warm, the fried fish tasted like cardboard. We're talking about "nightmare kitchens." It's only worth a visit because it was the only restaurant open in town.

14/09/2025: The food? Who saw it?! The service? Terrible! The atmosphere? Screaming in the kitchen and bathroom, only for men and women, dirty! A terrible experience.

14/09/2025: Everything is excellent, nothing to add.

18/08/2025: Nice place, good aperitif, excellent desserts. The only downside is the attitude of one of the employees, she seems to be snobbish! She snorts in your face even when you simply ask her to pay (and it's not the first time she's done it)... (advice) Maybe she should change jobs. The place deserves to be enhanced with a little courtesy and a smile!

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.

21/10/2025: Magnificent overnight stay in this magical place. An old cave transformed into a bedroom with a small alcove. The exterior facade is sublime. Comfortable bedding. High-quality amenities. Look carefully at the period photos to learn about the work carried out (7 years ago) and the living conditions of the local population at the time. Special mention to our host who spoke impeccable French. Bravo

18/08/2025: Top location, beautiful rooms in all categories (even the standard category, and the upscale categories as well), delicious and plentiful breakfast, and friendly and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

04/10/2025: A small restaurant at the entrance to the Sassi. A very traditional menu, with a focus on meat dishes. Reasonable prices, and the friendly staff.

04/10/2025: Very nice place, but it's a shame about the food: the portions are small, the selection is limited, and the prices, in my opinion, are a bit high. If you choose the €19.90 set menu with a choice of dishes, you basically have to eat within the limited circle they specify.

24/08/2025: I've dined there twice. The first courses were good, and the second courses were also good. The price was above average.

29/07/2025: The seafood linguine was fabulous! I really enjoyed the artisanal gelato, especially the zabaglione flavor. The pizza was also excellent. Perfect for those who still enjoy traditional, authentic flavors. The owners were incredibly friendly. I'll definitely be back!
