I migliori ristoranti in Matera

09/09/2025: Fast service, excellent dishes, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

08/09/2025: An ideal place for a quick meal without sacrificing quality, both in service and food. Professional and helpful staff, and a friendly and welcoming owner. The fried flowers with mozzarella and anchovies are delicious, while the spaghetti with mussels and green beans is flavorful and plentiful. If you're passing through or staying in Policoro, it's definitely a must-try.

22/10/2025: Simple but good food. A bit expensive for what's served. I wouldn't recommend it.

20/10/2025: Excellent quality raw materials, excellent service.

02/10/2025: Awesome aperol spritz and negroni, very friendly Staff. Highly recommend!

16/09/2025: Besides having very nice and affordable wine, I left my wallet there and the business managed to find me on social media and took the time to mail it to me. Incredibly kind of them to do so.

08/10/2025: Randomly walked into a restaurant, the cheese appetizer was very good, the steak was also good, and the pasta was average.

06/10/2025: I just got back from dinner at this Osteria. First of all, the bruschetta was very good, the only redeeming feature along with the atmosphere. The lasagna was a disgrace; it was four tapas with no filling, a small piece of meat, two salami pieces, and nothing else... And it's not cheap. The dessert was flavorless and very poor quality. Honestly, if I were to return to Matera, this place is not recommended.

30/06/2025: Mille Grazie! We had a panini with mortadella and mozzarella! Great and highly recommended! O

10/06/2025: I'm from Matera but I've lived outside for many years. I emphasize this because going to Anna's means tasting the TRUE FLAVORS OF LUCAN. Out of this world lasagna, broad beans and chicory, orecchiette turnip tops, fried breadcrumbs and crusco. Braciole, sausages and so on and so forth. It's all stratospheric! Well done and kind ❤️

30/10/2025: A very nice place, located close to the historic center of Matera, near the entrance to the pedestrian area; typical local architecture, tastefully decorated, clean, and quite spacious. The staff is welcoming and friendly, young and well-trained. They quickly seat you and introduce you to the house specialties. The menu features a variety of typical dishes from Matera, including pignata and pignatella. The wine list is good. The ingredients are good. The dishes, well-prepared and presented, in my opinion, the "more elaborate" ones lack a distinctive touch that would highlight their authenticity. The cheese selection is excellent, and the appetizers are good overall. I had the opportunity to try the pignatella; it's a dish that needs to be savored with patience 🌬️. I really liked the flavor. I would have liked a little more meat and even a few pieces of sausage in addition to the crumbled one, but it was still very good. I really enjoyed dipping the dough that serves as the lid for the pignata into the broth at the end. For dessert, we tried the "sporcamusso," which was also delicious: delicate puff pastry, a soft creamy filling with balanced flavors. The only flaw was that the pastry was quite warm, while the creamy filling was cold, even lukewarm. But at that hour, it was nice not to get your face dirty with boiling cream. The quality/price ratio was decent, within the limits of what the market offers, but overall, the place has room for improvement. I will return to try the Pignata. Overall, I recommend going, especially in the evening. Given the proximity to the historic center, after eating, a stroll along the main street of Matera by night was a pleasant experience.

27/10/2025: I recommend the "pignata", excellent!

02/11/2025: An evening with friends in a welcoming and charming atmosphere, with excellent food. Good value for money. Definitely recommended.

01/11/2025: We ate very well. The platter they gave us was very generous. There were four of us, and the platter for two was more than enough. The starters weren't very generous at first glance, but they filled us up in the end. The waiter was very kind, and the service was very efficient. The atmosphere was very beautiful, typical of Matera. The path to the Tibetan Bridge is nearby. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.

03/11/2025: Sala Ermica, the place that made us dream, the place that welcomed us for our wedding... Wonderful day 😍 And what can we say about Anna, the owner? She's a delightful person, very approachable, extremely knowledgeable about everything, very professional, and incredibly friendly. 🤭 We can only compliment Maitre Walter, who was so attentive to every moment; he even "sequestered" us at our table so we could eat at least one course the entire day. This truly touched us, because he showed a level of thoughtfulness we'd never seen before. Our compliments to the chef, he has golden hands. Whatever he cooks comes to life. Every single dish we tasted, every single one we ate, well, left you speechless. Every ingredient was perfectly proportioned, and even things we don't eat or like every day had a completely different flavor when cooked by him. Sublime. Everything was magically sublime! Sala Ermica, 5 stars and beyond 🥰

29/10/2025: Beautiful location, delicious food, and extraordinary, welcoming service! I highly recommend it for your special day! Anna was exceptional and took care of every detail of our ceremony 💯💯💯💯💯

14/10/2025: I came for lunch with a friend. Nice place, average atmosphere. Service was sterile and dull, both at the reception and at the table. The food was good, but nothing that particularly impressed me. The numerous positive reviews on Google created unrealistic expectations for the experience. I wouldn't return.

14/10/2025: The restaurant is a bit out of the way, so it's nice to eat outside. The food is well-presented and of good quality. The service is excellent, and they accept dogs!

10/10/2025: Don’t miss this spot when you’re in Matera! Our sandwiches were incredible (burrata, mortadella, pesto) and the service was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

06/10/2025: It's worth deviating a bit from the main road for the best panini we've had in Italy. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the tiramisu made by the owner is one of the best we've had in the region. Definitely a place worth recommending :)

02/11/2025: For the first time, I came to Pomarico, a stone's throw from Matera, for work, and on the recommendation of some acquaintances, I was directed to this restaurant. I couldn't have given better advice. The food is truly excellent. The veal tagliata is spectacular, with a side of country-style potatoes. Even though one of the house specialties is horse meat, whose cuts are processed in various ways, including the diaphragm, which is very difficult to find, both for veal and horse. The only flaw, if I may say so, but it's not so much a criticism as a recommendation, especially since I stand by the five-star rating, is the bottle of Primitivo di Manduria. It can't be served chilled; it's blasphemy. Otherwise, everything else was excellent. I hope to return. Highly recommended. See you next time.

28/10/2025: Great place to eat excellent horse meat

21/09/2025: We celebrated my son's baptism with a full menu at a reasonable price, featuring substantial dishes. The rustic, very welcoming location and quiet atmosphere with soft background music were the perfect setting. Excellent service, attentiveness, and customer care. Highly recommended!

07/09/2025: We had lunch this Sunday with a fish menu... everything was really good, well-prepared, and fresh. We'll be back to try the pizzeria too... Overall, I had a really good time...

26/07/2025: precioso restaurante en una espectacular cavidad muy bien diseñada. Muy buena relacion calidad-precio y un servicio agradable. Volvería sin ninguna duda.

25/07/2025: Locale caratteristico del centro, scavato nella roccia, personale molto gentile e professionale ... il menù presenta i piatti tipici della tradizione lucana con una buona attenzione alla presentazione degli stessi, degni di nota gli strascinati al peperone crusco con crema di ricotta e pomodoro, così come il crostino stracciatella acciughe e peperone crusco, buona anche la tagliata rucola e grana cotta alla brace... conto giusto, consigliato!

14/10/2025: The service is courteous and attentive, not intrusive. I have a few reservations about the seafood appetizers, but that's my personal preference. I believe fish should be treated as simply as possible, but it's clear the chef has tried to offer more innovative dishes that are slightly outside of the traditional norm. Both the grilled fish and the fried mixed seafood are truly excellent (and plentiful). In any case, an experience worth repeating, recommended for seafood lovers.

28/09/2025: Excellent lunch and impeccable dishes. The first course was truly incredible, both in its presentation and the combination of flavors (we had the tagliolini dell'abbate, highly recommended).

06/10/2025: I visited this place with a group of photographers. It's a beautiful place. The owners are very kind and friendly; it's like being guests in a private home. Excellent value for money. See you next time.

06/10/2025: A wonderful experience, characterized by excellent home cooking and a genuinely family welcome.
