I migliori ristoranti in Matera

30/12/2024: After the visit to the living nativity scene, since it was dinner time, we found ourselves in front of the pizzeria and went in, the welcoming and kind owners made us sit down, we took the pizza menu which included an appetizer with cold cuts and cheeses, a pizza, a drink, sweet or coffee at €18 everything was excellent

23/12/2024: Extremely positive experience! Fantastic food, unbeatable price (the fixed menu for €18.00 is incredible for what it offers: appetizer, first course of your choice, dessert with drink/wine included!), really kind staff and excellent service, especially the super kind and proactive waiter! The portions are super abundant and above all delicious, I highly recommend it!

05/08/2025: This review is exclusively for the della monaca, but that's enough to deserve 5 stars. The lightest Chantilly cream enhances the slightly moist dough, while the more intense pastry cream blends perfectly. Definitely among the best I've tasted in all of Lucania (and the surrounding area). Courtesy and an elegant atmosphere complement a delightful experience here in Matera.

01/08/2025: Excellent breakfast. If you're passing through Matera, I recommend stopping by.

21/05/2025: You finish the panzerotto and think: good but insignificant. It lacks love and seasoning. It seems like an industrial panzerotto

24/04/2025: Pricey place, excellent food and prices (4 people €40 eating 2 panzerotti and an arancino each). Super friendly staff. I recommend it to everyone.

31/07/2025: Un gioiello della cucina lucana – Colle di Sisto a Pomarico Il Colle di Sisto è uno di quei posti che ti restano nel cuore. Situato tra le colline di Pomarico, offre un’esperienza gastronomica autentica, fatta di sapori veri, materie prime eccellenti e una cura per l’ospite che si percepisce in ogni dettaglio. La cucina è un omaggio alla tradizione lucana, con piatti preparati con ingredienti freschissimi e di altissima qualità. Dall’antipasto al dolce, ogni portata è un piccolo capolavoro: sapori genuini, porzioni generose e una presentazione che unisce rusticità e raffinatezza. Si sente l’amore per il territorio e la passione per la buona cucina in ogni boccone. Ma ciò che rende il Colle di Sosto davvero speciale è il servizio. E in particolare, Iside: professionale, attenta e incredibilmente accogliente. La sua presenza fa davvero la differenza. Con il suo sorriso sincero, la competenza e una naturale eleganza, riesce a far sentire ogni cliente il benvenuto, creando un clima familiare ma sempre impeccabile. Il suo consiglio è sempre puntuale, e la sua attenzione ai dettagli dimostra un amore vero per il mestiere. In conclusione, Colle di Sosto è un ristorante che merita di essere conosciuto e amato. Per la qualità del cibo, l’atmosfera calorosa che rende ogni visita un’esperienza da ricordare. Un luogo dove si torna volentieri, e da cui si esce sempre con il sorriso e la pancia piena. Ovviamente la loro specialità è la carne equina.

27/07/2025: Best in the area. We usually come here for the meat, but this time we wanted to try a seafood menu for my parents' anniversary. Truly excellent, especially the octopus soup. Affordable prices. Well done!

22/07/2025: Great food, great location, excellent service, very kind staff.. Highly recommend!!

13/07/2025: Everything was excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The place has an outdoor seating area. Excellent pizza and a wide selection of specialty pizzas. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

26/06/2025: A small, unassuming, no-nonsense neighborhood restaurant where you can eat excellent pizzas. They're good-sized (the regular one is sufficient), plentiful, and the price is more than affordable, at around €7 per pizza. A thoughtful touch at the end of the meal: a small glass of homemade cherry and a small treat. The owners are attentive, as is the little waitress. What we also appreciated was that they allowed us to be served after 10:30 p.m.

08/06/2025: 06/07/25 we were with my family in this pizzeria what can I say excellent pizza top quality ingredients, very kind and very helpful staff, really good pizza🔝 recommended place for quality and price 💪👍👋

12/08/2025: Eccellente esperienza culinaria. Abbiamo preso solo due primi. Squisiti. Orecchiette cime di rapa e una pasta con pesto di cicoria. Ottimo! Da non togliere dalla bocca.

09/08/2025: Matera es increíble y este local no le va a la zaga. Se come muy rico a un precio muy razonable. Es un restaurante al que te quedan ganas de volver .

29/07/2025: The staff was extremely rude. We came to eat with a party of 7 who were running a few minutes late. I arrived first with my sisters. We were told the kitchen will be closing in 15 minutes so we asked for menus so we could order for the whole party. The restaurant manager told us that we “can have the menus if we want” but we “cannot” order till the rest of the party arrives. A few moments later when my brother arrived and made the same request, the manager was instantly politer and agreed to take the whole party’s order. Later on in the meal my father had to take a phone call and moved to another table to be to talk in peace in an otherwise empty restaurant. Our waiter interrupted his call and scolded him for making an additional table “dirty” and how he will have to clean it “because of him”. The food was absolutely excellent but the terrible service unfortunately ruined our experience.

19/07/2025: Very beautiful place! Food was a four..local cuisine and a large selection of wines Service was a two-plus. Waiters rarely came to the far hall. Dishes took a long time to be brought out. And dirty plates stood on the table until the next dish was served. The gentleman who offered a selection of wines..looked very arrogantly (although the wine we took was not cheap).

22/07/2025: Excellent restaurant. All the dishes were delicious. Antipasti, pasta, meats and desserts. Very professional service, reasonable prices and a beautiful view from the terrace.

09/07/2025: Delicious lunch - definitely recommend.

06/06/2025: Very nice restaurant with good food and very friendly service. A very warm welcome from the kitchen, good Prosecco, and a fantastic dessert (caramel cocoa tart)! We'd be happy to go back! The waiter made a real effort to speak Italian slowly, so we were able to understand him well despite our holiday Italian. So much more pleasant than being spoken to in English despite having limited Italian skills :)

05/06/2025: Atmospheric, delicious food and a very good sommelier. Are you here; make a reservation and have a nice dinner!

03/08/2025: Very well located restaurant and good value for money for pizza even if the pizza dough is a little elastic... I still recommend it!

30/07/2025: Beautiful terrace, friendly service, delicious and affordable food. The service staff's wine selection was also excellent. Definitely recommended!!

11/08/2025: We dined in the splendid setting of the Sassi di Matera, choosing the "Dimora Ulmo Menu" tasting menu, which allowed us to discover and appreciate the dishes offered by this excellent restaurant. Although it doesn't yet have a Michelin star, it holds its own against other starred restaurants we've tried around Italy. The real strength, beyond the location—which in itself is worth choosing for a romantic dinner in Matera—is the attention to detail and refinement of the dishes. Each course offers unique pairings, in which each ingredient plays its part: from the tartest to the sweetest notes, perfectly balanced in an explosion of flavor and a wealth of original and well-executed combinations. The service was also excellent, with the utmost attention to detail. The maître d', always present but never intrusive, managed to convey emotion and passion for his work. The wine cellar was well-stocked and carefully selected; we particularly appreciated the champagne pairing, which perfectly complemented the entire dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience innovative cuisine in a unique setting like the Sassi di Matera. Compliments to the chefs and all the staff: I'm sure we'll find a star on our next visit.

01/07/2025: Sehr schönes, stilvolles und gehobenes Ambiente. Hervorragende Küche, die traditionelle Gerichte gelungen interpretiert. Sehr gute Weinauswahl und sehr freundlicher Service.

18/07/2025: Delicious dinner, served by friendly and helpful staff.

11/05/2025: Great experience!!! Very good pizza
