03/05/2026: I ate a very good pizza, which is very difficult to find in a tourist place.

01/05/2026: I recently visited this restaurant and had a truly enjoyable experience. The pizza was excellent: light, well-leavened dough, and fresh, flavorful ingredients. You could really taste the quality, whether it was the simple Margherita or the more elaborate pizzas. Besides the food, what made the evening special was the staff. Everyone was very kind, helpful, and welcoming, always smiling and ready to offer advice without being intrusive.

15/04/2026: Thanks Vito and Michele! Traditional cuisine from our mothers! Fresh, top-quality ingredients! Comparing the portions to the price, I'd say they're large and fair! The wine is the same)!!!!

07/04/2026: I dined two evenings at this wonderful little restaurant right in the city center, just steps from Piazza Vittorio Veneto. The charcuterie and cheese platter was excellent and plentiful, as were the other dishes we ate. Excellent value for money. Vito and Michele were friendly, professional, and kind. Highly recommended!

25/04/2026: We arrived by chance and luck, after a misadventure at another nearby restaurant. We were greeted by the owner's smile, who immediately showed us great hospitality. The restaurant, though a bit hidden, is truly welcoming, with attention to every detail: you can see the creativity and passion. We ordered sandwiches and bruschetta, and it's impossible to say which was better. Everything was excellent, prepared with care and with the highest quality ingredients. The price was very fair for the quality we received. A pleasant surprise that reconnected us with the hospitality of Matera.

10/04/2026: A quaint and welcoming venue with knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff! An experience to repeat.

24/12/2025: I attended a wedding just yesterday. My compliments go to the entire organization and all the Garden staff, who are incredibly kind and courteous. My compliments, truly. You are an incredible and unique team! Well done!

22/11/2025: Discovered at some acquaintances' wedding, I fell in love with it so much that I chose it for my own wedding in August 2019. We felt pampered, the guests still remember the beauty of the room, the kindness and helpfulness of the waiters, the quality and quantity of food, and all the attention they've never encountered in other venues. I would get married there 1,000 times over. Some venues in the area try to imitate it, but there's no comparison. ❤️

23/02/2026: Fantastic experience. Refined dishes and impeccable service. A dream location overlooking the Sassi of Matera.

18/01/2026: A refined and charming venue. Excellent service, top-notch food quality. I recommend this venue for anyone seeking an unforgettable gastronomic and sensory experience.

29/03/2026: What can I say... it's an experience you shouldn't miss. Innovative, refined, and tasty cuisine. Impeccable service and a charming atmosphere!

24/03/2026: Location: 5/5 Carved into a rock, the restaurant embodies the very essence of Matera. Centrally located yet far from the invasive tourist crowds, it can also be reached by car with the appropriate permits. The modern interior contrasts harmoniously with the restored ancient stone. The table setting is simple and refined, with one noteworthy detail: dedicated lighting above each table, designed to highlight the food served. A unique location that alone justifies the visit. Menu: 5/5 Excellent in every way: selection, variety, creativity, presentation. Each dish is the result of careful study, with a narrative involving ingredients, cutlery, and tableware, a multi-sensory experience. You don't just eat: you experience a journey. Such a strong coherence between idea and execution is rare. The wine list is worthy of note, with a carefully selected and extensive selection. Service: 4/5 Precise, welcoming, professional. The food and wine recommendations are spot on. The only limitation is numerical: additional staff in the dining room would ensure even greater fluidity. The menu selection via QR code is less appealing, as it clashes with the level of experience and forces the use of a phone in a context that deserves the opposite. Bill: 4/5 Significant, but justified. The quality of the ingredients, the creativity, and the care put into each individual dish are reflected in the price. You pay for serious work, and it's worth it. Haute cuisine with a local identity and a personal vision. An experience that justifies the trip.

19/04/2026: Excellent croissants, fresh every day, pleasant and relaxing decor, spotlessly clean. Welcoming, pleasant, and discreet staff.

17/04/2026: A lovely place for a drink or coffee, with a serene and calm atmosphere. Good, soft music.

04/12/2025: At Davide Carlucci's butcher shop, you'll eat the best horse delicacies. Professionalism, kindness, and quality are his three strong points. I've been a customer for years now, and I can only say compliments!

23/11/2025: High quality food, great service I go there whenever I can Top.

03/05/2026: Located in the center of Matera, overlooking the Sassi, this restaurant is a true gem. Situated in a traditional and original setting, it offers quality products and friendly staff. Recommended

27/04/2026: We were looking for something interesting for lunch in the beautiful city of Matera and stumbled upon this restaurant. It’s carved right into the hillside—exactly that traditional vibe people come here for. The service was absolutely amazing. Huge selection of wines. The menu is nicely tailored to the local cuisine. We really enjoyed everything, from the starter to the main course. The only small downside was a bit of flaking lime from the ceiling paint, but that’s probably pretty common in this type of space.

09/04/2026: Really nice place with good service from the Bulgarian woman. See us soon.

07/04/2026: Excellent restaurant. Despite the huge crowd, the food was good and served quickly. Fantastic staff.

31/01/2026: Antonio, the chef, and his son, the head waiter, are simply brilliant. They're excellent at everything and, above all, attentive to detail and customer needs. Top-quality ingredients and a selection of quality wines. After dinner, rum and chocolate before saying goodbye. See you soon.

10/04/2026: Beautiful place, it's in Matera, you'll find it walking along Via Buozzi. The only downside was that I got a table in the sun and it was a bit strong, but it's a highly recommended spot.
