26/02/2025: There is something paradoxical in crossing half the peninsula to find yourself, gastronomically speaking, exactly where you started (Milan). Let me explain. The restaurant in question, nestled among the rocks of Matera, offers an experience that I could define as technically flawless. The service moves with the precision of a ballet, anticipating every need with that non-invasive grace that is the true hallmark of professionalism. The venue is simply very beautiful. And then comes the food. To say. Caciocavallo – that cheese that tells of centuries of transhumance and dairy wisdom – appears transformed into a flan with an impeccable consistency. A preparation that could appear in any avant-garde bistro in Brera or Isola in Milan. Cruschi peppers – those crunchy wonders that represent the dry, vibrant soul of Basilicata – have been reduced to a kind of powder, a decorative accent that seems more interested in conquering Instagram than the palate. Lucanian cuisine has a precise grammar and a robust syntax that does not require conceptual quotation marks or gastronomic parentheses. Yet here in every dish it seems that the original identity is something to be hidden under layers of technique and presentation. Why? It's not that you eat badly, far from it. Eat well. Too good. With that aseptic perfection that could place you in any corner of contemporary gastronomic geography, but not necessarily in Matera. Gourmet cuisine, with its obsession with revisiting, sometimes seems to forget that originality is not necessarily proportional to the distance one takes from the original. Sometimes, true audacity lies in respecting the essential and following tradition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

25/02/2025: C'è qualcosa di paradossale nell'attraversare mezza penisola per ritrovarsi, gastronomicamente parlando, esattamente dove si è partiti (Milano). Mi spiego. Il ristorante in questione, incastonato tra i sassi di Matera, offre un'esperienza che potrei definire tecnicamente ineccepibile. Il servizio si muove con la precisione di un balletto, anticipando ogni necessità con quella grazia non invasiva che è la vera cifra della professionalità. Il locale è semplicemente molto bello. E poi arriva il cibo. Per dire. Il caciocavallo – quel formaggio che racconta secoli di transumanza e saggezza casearia – compare trasformato in un flan dalla consistenza impeccabile. Una preparazione che potrebbe figurare in qualsiasi bistrot all'avanguardia di Brera o Isola a Milano. I peperoni cruschi – quelle meraviglie croccanti che rappresentano l'anima secca e vibrante della Basilicata – sono stati ridotti a una specie di polvere, un accento decorativo che sembra più interessato a conquistare Instagram che il palato. La cucina lucana possiede una grammatica precisa e una sintassi robusta che non necessita di virgolette concettuali o di parentesi gastronomiche. Eppure qui in ogni piatto sembra che l’identità originaria sia qualcosa da nascondere sotto strati di tecnica e presentazione. Perché? Non è che mangi male, tutt'altro. Mangi bene. Troppo bene. Con quella perfezione asettica che potrebbe collocarti in qualsiasi angolo della geografia gastronomica contemporanea, ma non necessariamente a Matera. La cucina gourmet, con la sua ossessione per la rivisitazione, sembra talvolta dimenticare che l'originalità non è necessariamente proporzionale alla distanza che si prende dall'originale. A volte, la vera audacia sta nel rispetto dell'essenziale e nel seguire la tradizione.

08/03/2025: Beautiful and refined restaurant in Matera in one of the most evocative historic centers of the south. You are welcomed with kindness and by a highly professional staff. The interior is typically wrapped in the fascinating Carparo tuff and tastefully furnished. Dinner... calling it dinner is very simplistic, I would prefer to call it a culinary experience with an explosion of tastes. As I was saying, this fantastic experience transformed my evening into a journey through typical Matera flavors and products. The dishes expertly prepared by the chef are delicious and beautiful to look at. The two owners that I had the pleasure of meeting, pamper you and list in detail all the dishes that are brought to your table. Amazing wine list. Recommended to embark on a wonderful culinary journey!!!!!

16/03/2025: Very good and quality sweets. I recommend.

26/02/2025: Excellent pastry shop: pan suisse for mouth-watering breakfast!!!

23/03/2025: An enchanting place managed in a loving way... truly recommended... excellent dishes, spectacular location, fast service and normal prices.

18/03/2025: the restaurant was placed inside ancient water cisterns, which makes it very particular and fascinating. the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, the staff are attentive, thoughtful, present, available, always ready to explain their dishes or products and to satisfy every request. I was in this place the first evening I arrived in Matera, with my partner, we chose some typical dishes and two glasses of red wine, (primitivo and aglianico) the owner, very kind, wanted us to taste some Greek and offered us two glasses and at the end offered two glasses of liqueur. right proportions, excellent quality/price ratio. highly recommended!

02/04/2025: Very nice atmosphere and a menu full of interesting proposals. Unfortunately my first course was not up to par. I chose the wholemeal strascinate with red Datterino and Cacioricotta sauce. In reality it was a supermarket tomato puree, with a very acidic taste.

27/03/2025: Atmosfera magica. Il menù un po più normale. Anche se l'offerta è su un menù turistico mi aspettavo un livello di cucina più curato.

01/04/2025: Nice place, good food, friendly staff. Must try.

24/03/2025: Delicious food, pleasant service.

23/02/2025: We had dinner at the Masseria del Parco! The large room was occupied for a sixtieth! The owner placed us in a small room, telling us that we would be fine. The room was freezing, we asked several times to turn on the hot air, their response was: there is a fault with the boiler, the technician is arriving, from Matera at 11pm🤣🤣🤣 The technician never arrived.... He wanted to trick us... making us believe that he would arrive!!! We froze! In reality the systems in that room have always been broken and it is impossible to stay there because the walls are made of tuff... Owner: you should have been more sincere with the customers.... For the sake of earning money you made us freeze.... Often greed knows no respect! Shameful! P.s. The owner didn't even apologize!! Evidently it is normal for him to behave in that way with the customer…….

04/02/2025: Everything was beautiful... from the location to the food👍
