I migliori ristoranti in Matera

19/02/2026: We stopped at this restaurant by chance while visiting the city. Clean and well-organized place. Impeccable service, excellent food. Good value, I recommend it.

18/02/2026: Amazing dinner from appetizer to dessert. Local recipes with excellent ingredients. 10 out of 10.

04/03/2026: Charming setting Perfect welcome from the waiter/owner Quality of the food The only downside was the waitress who wasn't smiling, almost unpleasant… A shame for such a place

15/02/2026: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. The ambiance was comfortable and welcoming. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and orecchiette with sausage, while my husband enjoyed the pork chop. The service was exceptional; the owner personally visited our table to inquire about any dietary restrictions and to ask where we were visiting from. Our server was also attentive, and both spoke English. However, the most memorable part of the night was dining within a sassi, a truly unique experience. Overall, excellent hospitality.

14/02/2026: Great experience, delicious appetizers, especially the fried ricotta with caramelized onion and turnips. Everything was perfect, even the first courses. Welcoming place, friendly, helpful staff. If you're in Matera, go there. Prices are average.

22/01/2026: The food was really good, and the prices were fair for the quality. I recommend it.

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.

25/01/2026: Excellent pizza, kind and smiling staff, recommended!

03/11/2025: I am writing this review without even having entered the restaurant to inform you that the staff was rude to say the least.

13/12/2025: Excellent, creative food and a fantastic wine pairing with wines from Puglia and Basilicata

12/02/2026: When we're in Matera, my husband and I have been choosing Ristorante Pizzeria Van Gogh for years because it's an absolute guarantee: excellent dishes, from appetizers to first and second courses of meat and seafood, and to round out the meal, the desserts are truly delicious. Their absolute kindness, helpfulness, and attentive service are a plus, making this the best culinary experience in the city. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lunch and/or dinner that emphasizes quality ingredients, flavor, and friendliness. A special shout out to Bartolo and Mario.

07/02/2026: Incredible pizza!! We also had tiramisu and a pistachio cake for dessert and they were wonderful. Definitely worth stopping by after exploring Matera.

14/11/2025: Very qualified staff, high-quality cuisine, everything delicious and the perfect location, I recommend it.

05/10/2025: Very good meal and very warm welcome

18/11/2025: Great coffee and good croissant !

25/10/2025: The best coffee in town. Very good prices and a very nice gentleman behind the counter.

23/12/2025: Inhumane value for money, poor starter not consistent with what was indicated on the menu, 4 slices of ham placed crosswise 20 euros, reading the reviews we expected more, not recommended

07/10/2025: Dinner with friends. High-quality meat with impeccable service. Excellent side dishes and carpaccio. Absolutely not to be missed. Extremely friendly owners and a warm welcome. TOP!!!!

06/11/2025: In my humble opinion, one of the top three restaurants in the entire region. The food is excellent (very varied and thoughtful appetizers), generous first courses, and incredibly high-quality meat-based second courses. The atmosphere is a dream. The wait staff is professional, especially Mimmo, an excellent host who takes great care of his guests. The quality/price ratio is reasonable. Rotondella, a wonderful little village.

04/11/2025: Great Basilicata’s food experience. Our menù was simple like traditional Basilicata food, yet sooo good. Frizzuli and Cruschi are the must-try dishes to have a glimpse of the taste of Basilicata. Prices were super honest, quantities more than average and the service was rustic like the one you can have at home. Really, a place which deserves to be visited, maybe more than once!

15/12/2025: We stopped by by chance and truly found the best pizza in Matera. A welcoming place and high-quality ingredients. Extremely light and easy to digest. The pizza is truly 33 cm thick. The warm staff makes you feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the evening.

09/12/2025: Very good, excellent service. Everything perfect.

13/12/2025: Spread out cold cuts and pieces of cheese, 1 drink (beer) and 1 water, very expensive. Not to be missed.

05/11/2025: Like everything in Matera, the best thing about it is the atmosphere, which is fantastic. The locally sourced beef was cooked to perfection and tasted good, but it was quite fibrous. The selection of meats and cheeses is worthwhile. The sausage with potatoes is a kind of chorizo ​​criollo, but with an anise-flavored spice that overpowers the meat's flavor. The formaggie cheese was very good. As I said, the best thing about it all was the atmosphere.

14/11/2025: I've known the restaurant for a while now and I highly recommend it. The location is perfect.

27/10/2025: The restaurant is located in the busy Piazza del Sedile, and we stopped for dinner by chance. The somewhat retro style of the place might please some vintage fans. There were two of us and we ordered a pizza and a second course: the pizza arrived with only some of the requested ingredients, while the second course, listed on the menu as "roasted suckling pig with roast sugo" (roasted pork with roast sugo), consisted of two thin slices of pork with an unidentifiable sauce drizzled with balsamic vinegar (it all seemed to have been reheated in the microwave). After asking about the missing ingredients on the pizza, they were brought to us on a separate plate just after the meal was over. Furthermore, despite there being two of us dining, the dishes were brought to us 15 minutes apart, as they had to be eaten "separately" to prevent them from getting cold. Unfortunately, we don't recommend it.
