I migliori ristoranti in Matera

02/11/2025: Family dinner (6 people) on a Saturday evening. The service was prompt and accurate despite the room being full. The dishes were typical of Lucanian cuisine and absolutely impeccable. The price was average. The location is quaint and clean, inside the baronial castle. Highly recommended!

26/10/2025: We were passing through and were greeted with extreme kindness—it may seem obvious, but it isn't. The owner found us a seat even though we hadn't booked and the restaurant was full (two birthdays). Great attention to local products and the cuisine (run by his wife) is truly excellent, with a touch of experimentation. Very fair prices for the quality of the products used, and a comfortable atmosphere. It's a shame we can't become regulars due to the distance, but if we were to visit again, we wouldn't hesitate to return. I highly recommend it, both for the food and for the heartwarming, genuine smiles.

21/10/2025: Nice place. Great service. Excellent dinner. What more could you want? Excellent wine too 🍷

21/10/2025: A very nice restaurant with excellent service. Prices are a bit higher (though still perfectly acceptable for Matera) – here you don't run the risk of paying a lot for food that doesn't taste good. We each had a very good pasta and meat dish, along with good wine.

15/09/2025: Great value for money. The Frutti di Mare pizza and Frutti di Mare pasta were generously tossed. The food also came relatively quickly. I hope my tip goes to the friendly waiter, but I think the plate cleaner pocketed it himself. Overall, not the best tasting food, but great value for money.

14/09/2025: Great place. Came in by accident while passing by. The prices are more than affordable. Everything is sooo delicious.

10/10/2025: While visiting Matera, we had lunch at this little restaurant. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back.

09/10/2025: We had lunch among the Sassi of Matera in a truly unique setting: outdoor tables overlooking a spectacular view. The menu offers traditional dishes, as well as modern twists, such as cacio e pepe with crusco peppers, cooked with great skill and attention to authentic flavors. The orecchiette with turnip tops, fried breadcrumbs, and crusco peppers, as well as the caponata, were delicious. The service was excellent: the staff were friendly, fast, and very helpful, despite the unusual hours (the kitchen is open until 4 pm!). A relaxing lunch made special by the evocative setting and the quality of both the food and the hospitality. Highly recommended for those who want to experience an authentic experience in the heart of Matera.

06/10/2025: Really good seafood... I ate cavatelli with octopus cruschi and stracciatella and grilled fish.

29/09/2025: Great place, really good food, I recommend it

13/10/2025: Perfect coffee, perfect cakes, perfect service, perfect place!

09/10/2025: We took three kinds of focaccia to go. All were very good, even after a few hours they were still quite good. The only thing missing was a bit of salt, but that's just my taste; I'm quite a salt-loving person.

13/09/2025: We had lunch as a couple, with a salad and a Matera crouton with mortadella and mozzarella. Everything was good. The service was a plus, as I had ordered the chicken salad with an avocado sauce, but it was spicy. Since I couldn't tolerate spicy food, I told the waitress, who promptly replaced the dish, quickly bringing back the same salad but without the sauce. Recommended!

11/09/2025: We had dinner this evening at this little restaurant overlooking Piazza San Francesco. The food was excellent and plentiful. The owners were truly kind and hospitable. We sampled the local specialties and appreciated this splendid city even more.

12/10/2025: We arrived here by chance from Sicily and I must say that we ate really well

04/09/2025: Great atmosphere, very well-maintained, excellent food. Very good service. I highly recommend it.

20/10/2025: As soon as we entered the gate, we fell in love with the cleanliness and order of the olive groves overlooking Matera. The location is dreamy, a beautiful masseria. Francesco manages everything impeccably, and his staff is an extension of that. What can we say about the table service: seamless, attentive, and fast. The icing on the cake is the food: sophisticated, high-quality combinations, the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, and excellent ingredients. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

23/09/2025: Beautiful location and warm welcome. The dishes are prepared with authentic ingredients and the portions are generous. Excellent value for money.

31/07/2025: Leckeres Essen, super Lage in der Altstadt. Nettes Personal und Preisleistungsverhältnis top. 3 Gängemenü mit Wasser, Glas Wein und Service/Besteck für 28€. Jederzeit wieder.

30/07/2025: Das Essen war geschmacklich wirklich sehr lecker! Leider war die Portion meiner Nudeln mit Parmesansoße recht klein – nach wenigen Gabeln war der Teller leer, und ich war nicht wirklich satt. Auch der Lachs meiner Freundin kam nur mit einem Mini Salat als Beilage. Für zwei Gericht in dieser Preisklasse (50 €) hätten wir etwas mehr erwartet. Schade, denn geschmacklich war es top.“

09/10/2025: Everything was excellent, the meat was top of the range, the staff were courteous and professional.

28/09/2025: Risto pizza and grill: a mix for all tastes, from pasta dishes to meat dishes, to starters. Delicious desserts. Fast and excellent service.
