I migliori ristoranti in Matera

24/12/2025: Connection with the local area, extremely high-quality preparation, and overall reasonable prices. A well-stocked and high-quality cellar. Highly recommended.

14/12/2025: Simply extraordinary experience. The Sartago restaurant is, in my opinion, a Michelin-starred restaurant in every way. Impeccable service: professional, attentive, and never intrusive. The top-notch wine list, curated with skill and passion. Excellent cuisine: top-quality ingredients, balanced dishes, technically perfect, and with a distinct personality. All this in a splendid, elegant, and evocative location, completing a truly rare gastronomic experience. A restaurant that has nothing to envy the great names of haute cuisine. Sincere compliments: I will return and recommend it without hesitation.

06/01/2026: We recently left the farmhouse....I think 5 stars are too few, they deserve 10!!! Mrs. Piera is an exceptional person in the way she carries out her work, attentive and available, she welcomes and meets all the needs of the customer with care and also her kind way of being makes her unique. Salvatore's cooking is excellent, he too is super attentive and very good... Exquisite cured meats and cheeses, like the jam of their production, the tomato puree... the first and second courses... truly everything is delicious! You experience a homely, relaxing atmosphere and then the place is surrounded by greenery, in true nature and the children have a wonderful experience. The rooms are welcoming and very clean... I could really go on forever because there are only positive words and thoughts. We will definitely be back, thanks Piera and greetings from Michele, Giulia and Leonardo

03/01/2026: We were a large group of friends, demanding and noisy. We booked multiple rooms, including a dog and children. We had a wonderful time. Piera and her wonderful family welcomed and pampered us as if we were friends. The food was EXCELLENT, with local produce, as they also produce vegetables and jams. We're also vegetarians, and even though we forgot to tell them, they changed the menu immediately, without sacrificing quality. The rooms were simple and spotlessly clean. The garden and animals make the place welcoming and well-managed. You can see the passion and enthusiasm. Thank you for everything!

23/10/2025: Pasticiotto and super nun's head

18/10/2025: I ordered a Sacher cake as a birthday cake and it was absolutely amazing. Very light and very tasty!

17/12/2025: The best restaurant in Matera!!! I ate there a year later and the experience was amazing... try everything they offer... you won't be disappointed by the first courses, the second courses, and especially the millefeuille, which is superb! See you next time, thanks 😍

17/12/2025: Today I had lunch at this lovely, clean restaurant. Excellent food and generous portions. I returned after a year and the experience was once again pleasant. The broad beans with chicory and the millefeuille are highly recommended.

06/11/2025: A delightful wine tasting experience paired with revisited traditional Lucanian dishes. The place is charming, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

17/10/2025: We had the Eggplant Parmegiana, Calamary Cutlet, Saffron Risotto, and Octopus. All were incredible. Highly recommended!

22/12/2025: A quaint and welcoming atmosphere, a warm and pleasant place with Italian music playing in the background. The place is very tidy and clean. The staff is kind and attentive. We enjoyed a bruschetta with crumbled sausage and melted cheese, truly delicious, and an Irish burger with cheddar and bacon, accompanied by crispy fries. To finish, a delicious tiramisu.

01/11/2025: Great place! Delicious pizza, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Recommended! 🍕✨

30/11/2025: Good prices & pretty views of the city on the terrace (small amount of seats available though), but the pizza wasn’t fresh (reheated).

19/11/2025: A wonderful place that is hard to pass by. Pleasant service, beautiful establishment, very tasty food, incredible view🔥

02/01/2026: A quick but delicious lunch. A simple and welcoming place with a pizza oven and plenty of Matera bread on display. We had the fava bean and chicory cream and the pignatella...exceptional! The lamb was incredibly tender and had a unique flavor with the vegetables and caciocavallo cheese. No. 1. Average prices and quick service with friendly staff.

31/12/2025: The courtesy and quality of the dishes served are the strong points of this place. Try the pignata with mutton, truly excellent.

11/01/2026: Everything was perfect. We chose the tasting menu and it was all very good. The wait staff was courteous and professional. I highly recommend a stop during a weekend in Matera.

06/01/2026: Excellent orecchiette, fast and attentive service. The price is ok.

11/01/2026: The only downside: it seemed a bit pricey! Anyway, the food and service were top-notch!

01/11/2025: Tagliatelle with truffle, pizza, and pork shank—it's hard to choose which was the best. Everything was delicious. Recommended.

12/01/2026: I went for lunch and it was a truly special experience. The restaurant is charming, carved into the Sasso, and exudes a unique historical atmosphere. There's also an ancient olive oil mill inside, almost like visiting a museum, which makes it all the more fascinating. We ate grilled meat, which was simply delicious: perfectly cooked and excellent quality. The food overall was exceptional. The staff deserves a special mention: very kind, welcoming, and always available. An experience I highly recommend to anyone visiting Matera.

05/01/2026: I used to come to this restaurant every two years or so. I've always considered it a tourist hotspot, but it's a good compromise. Unfortunately, today I was only able to observe inside (due to the lack of price display outside) that the menu has undergone an excessive price increase; there's no entree under €14. I find the menu priced for an empty plate for €1 unfortunate. I had a brief discussion with the manager or owner about the matter. She politely explained the reasons for the price increases. We realized we had different views, and I changed locations where I could enjoy a similarly high-quality meal at a lower price, along with a high-end restaurant setting. From my limited experience in the industry, I would recommend adjusting the offerings to meet demand to best market the excellent cuisine this restaurant offers.

06/01/2026: While passing through Matera, we were recommended this traditional restaurant located at the entrance to the famous Sassi. We couldn't have made a better choice. The friendly staff made you feel like family. We had dinner with some truly delicious traditional Matera dishes. Eustachio made excellent recommendations from the menu, and Linda, the chef, is a true Chef with a capital C, as well as being incredibly friendly. Definitely worth a try! Greetings from Marche and Sicily. ❤️

05/01/2026: Soul Kitchen was a wonderful discovery for dinner in Matera, in a warm and elegant setting where you immediately feel welcomed. We ate from appetizers to first courses to main courses, and every course was a delight: rich flavors, well-executed preparations, and a consistently high quality throughout the meal. The value for money is also excellent, with prices absolutely reasonable for the area and the type of food offered. Special mention goes to the staff, who were kind and courteous throughout the evening, attentive but never intrusive, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable place to eat well and enjoy a carefree evening, this is a place to keep in mind.

05/01/2026: Discovered thanks to TripAdvisor, this trattoria was a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere was warm and familiar, just as you'd expect from a Lucanian restaurant. We tried the cavatelli with black chickpeas and shrimp, the frizzoli with ragù and breadcrumbs, the buffalo mozzarella with cherry tomatoes, and the charcuterie board: everything was delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The service was courteous and never intrusive. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back! 😊

25/12/2025: Paccheri with cicadas, macaroni with ferretto, cod with bruschi peppers, all excellent. We would have liked to try the rest of the menu, but it would have been impossible for four of us. We'll be back on the return trip from Sicily to Milan. I forgot about the Altamura loaf and the berry cheesecake. For four of us, it was the best €75 we spent on our vacation. Excellent!

05/01/2026: Extremely tasty place! Definitely the most delicious place in Matera! The quality /quantitiy ratio is absolutely perfect. The sandwiches are huge - keep this in mind if you are not very hungry and consider splitting it with someone as it would be a crime to throw even the leftovers of this food. You can tell that every ingredient is traditional and fresh. Combine the sandwich with a glass of Prosecco and you have “Heaven!”! The service is perfect, too! ❤️ The place is definitely worth visiting! 😊

30/12/2025: It was soooooooo goood!!! Burrata🤤🤤🤤 the picture doesn’t do justice, you just have to go and try it❤️ thank you for the lovely dish❤️ 幸せ✨
