I migliori ristoranti in Matera

08/11/2025: We had dinner here on a recommendation, and we weren't disappointed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The pizza was one of the best I've had in Italy. Dino gave us great advice and was very friendly, attentive, and genuine. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

14/10/2025: June 13, 2024, a memorable evening for my daughter's birthday...Thank you Nicola, thanks to Michele for his kindness and thanks to all of you for making this day special!!!

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.

02/11/2025: A pleasant lunch break at Osteria L’Arco. We opted for a simple meal of pasta. The “Troccoli con baccalà alla materana,” a regional specialty, was particularly enjoyable. Troccoli, typical of Puglia, are thick, slightly square pasta, perfect for holding sauce. Here, they were served with flavorful baccalà and a rich, tangy sauce. The service was attentive and the setting charming, especially on the terrace overlooking the narrow streets of Matera.

26/07/2025: Bon service, salades italiennes faites avec goût. Bien situé, au calme, avec de bonnes tartines, Plus de goût dans les salades permettait d avoir une note parfaite.

22/07/2025: Posto tranquillissimo perché su una stradina secondaria, ma vicino alla piazza principale di Matera. Eccellente tagliere molto carico di salumi e formaggi. Ottima bruschetta. Proprietario gentilissimo. Prezzi onesti. Consigliatissimo! Soprattutto se volete scappare dai posti turistici.

03/05/2025: Ottimo, il cibo buono e abbondante, personale gentilissimo e cordiale, anche la struttura esterna è molto bella, davvero consigliato

01/05/2025: Consigliatissimo per la gentilezza e l'accoglienza del personale, per l'autenticità e genuinità dei piatti con porzioni generose e per il conto più che onesto. Da tornarci assolutamente

02/08/2025: A simple but high-quality venue, accompanied by such kindness and friendliness, what more could you ask for?

19/07/2025: Never eaten meat so good price as the meat and very nice owner

26/08/2025: Good food, fresh and tender fish, kind and friendly staff, and a small but cozy atmosphere. A lovely discovery...worth trying!

14/08/2025: The atmosphere is pleasant and clean, and the staff is kind and friendly. The food is good, but nothing too fancy. Recommended.

10/11/2025: Cozy local ristorante with very good food, good service and reasonable prices. We drove Matera to Potenza and saw a sign in crossroad "Irsina - uno dei piu belli borghi in Italia" and decided to for sunday lunch there. It was very good decision!

02/11/2025: Excellent value for money. Recommended

12/11/2025: BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE, FANTASTIC AND HIGHLY TRAINED STAFF, THE OWNER IS VERY WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY PERSON, EXCELLENT QUALITY OF THE FOOD, VERY HOMEMADE AND 0 KM PRODUCTION, MINIMUM WAITING TIMES EVEN WITH A LOT OF CROWDS IN THE DINING ROOM, I AM HERE FOR BUSINESS BUT IT IS A PLACE WORTH RETURNING TO, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I WOULD SAY THE BEST EVEN WITH REGARD TO THE PIZZERIA, THE PIZZA CHEF AND THE OWNER HIMSELF AND AS A NEAPOLITAN I TELL YOU THAT THE PIZZA IS EXCELLENT.

12/11/2025: Welcoming structure, excellent food, the owner of the structure is a very good person, exquisite food to lick your lips, very well-trained waiting staff, very polite and very friendly, not to mention the owner is a very good person available to satisfy the needs of the customers, not to mention the first courses all prepared by them. I would gladly return and above all I recommend it to those who want to eat home cooking.

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.

19/10/2025: Very friendly, exquisite cuisine, and great prices. I highly recommend it. Alicia from Alicante (Spain)

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.

08/12/2025: Slightly off the main streets of Matera, I recommend stopping here to try all the excellent dishes!!! Very friendly staff. The TiramiSud is a must-try. We'll definitely be back on our next trip!

07/12/2025: Truly, truly, the meat is excellent. Even though the prices are a bit high, the quality is truly excellent. Both the appetizers and the first courses were very good. I'll definitely be back...

20/11/2025: An authentic and memorable experience. Ristorante Guasti Lucani captivates with its authentic cuisine, showcasing Lucanian flavors with elegance and passion. Each dish is meticulously crafted, using fresh ingredients and unique pairings. The service is impeccable: courteous, attentive, and never intrusive. The staff welcomes guests with warmth and professionalism, making every guest feel at home. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. A gem for those seeking not just a good meal, but a true journey through Lucanian flavors. Highly recommended.

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!

01/12/2025: Sunday lunch, good and plentiful dishes. Efficient service. One fried fish is enough for two. The first courses are also very generous.

04/11/2025: From the outside, it's not very inspiring. Upon entering, I found a simple place with a very kind gentleman who welcomed me. I was with my husband, and we ate a hot and cold mixed antipasto for two, and scialatelli allo scoglio. Everything was good. Sometimes you don't always have to look at the outside. The price was reasonable.

30/10/2025: Great food in stylish restaurant in lovely village. Friendly owner. Would definitely eat here again if we visit this area. Highly recommended.

26/10/2025: Excellent quality restaurant, exquisite dishes and Antonio is a very good chef as well as a very good person, highly recommended

28/11/2025: Fantastic service, quality food , and a beautiful location.

23/10/2025: Impolite service with a lot of snobery for an empty restaurant I will give a fair review and the pasta was nice but there are plenty others really within 50 metres that have excellent food and warm service
