I migliori ristoranti in Matera

19/06/2026: If you're in Matera and looking for a place to cool off, Birreria 79 is a must-see. The atmosphere is truly pleasant and relaxed, making it the perfect place to enjoy a cold beer after walking through the Sassi. The beer selection is excellent, and the service is quick and friendly. It was the refreshing stop we needed during our day. Highly recommended for those looking for quality and a welcoming atmosphere right in the city center!

01/06/2026: Proprietary craft brewery in the center of Matera, managed directly by the brewery, the place is very nice and has an outdoor terrace. The guys are all kind and attentive to the needs of the customers, we tried the Belgian strong ale and it won us over, due to various commitments we were unable to try the cuisine, but chef Matteo, also in his role as publican, will be able to advise you best, next time we will try his creations; there was also a refrigerator with their beers available at the time; two pieces of advice: If possible, try to guarantee more or less the entire line for takeaway (I understand that it's not easy, but the potential is there). Then, if you can, open a little earlier, we are fighting everywhere to guarantee excellent drinks even in the mid-afternoon, where possible. Highly recommended.

11/06/2026: Great atmosphere, very tasty food. I recommend it 👏👏👏

07/06/2026: We should leave more space between tables, because once you're seated, you can't get up. And above all, we need to remove the cobwebs; it's not Halloween...

15/06/2026: hamdei was fantastic! great service very friendly and kind! food was great as well!

15/06/2026: Excellent service!!!!! Wonderful conversation about World Cup!!!! Great food!!!!

27/12/2025: We came to visit Matera and were looking for a place to stop for lunch. We couldn't have chosen a better place; we opted for seafood. They were truly excellent. The quality-price ratio is unbeatable. Highly recommended.

25/11/2025: Today at lunch, I saw all the positive reviews that inspired me to try this restaurant. I can say that the quality of the ingredients and the preparation are truly excellent. We had two portions of cardoon pie, one parmigiana, and one fried artichoke, along with three bottles of water for €24. The dining room is welcoming and clean. You can use the restroom. Highly recommended.

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!

22/03/2026: The place could be improved, but the pizza is delicious, easy to digest, and made with quality ingredients.

18/03/2026: Very tasty pizza at a good price. Plus, the service was very friendly. We recommend it 😊

15/12/2025: A small and nice place in the historic center of Pomarico (Matera), quality and price go hand in hand, the pizza is delicious, even the sweet one with Nutella is exceptional, then in addition to pizza, there are sandwiches and other alternatives for all tastes, even the desserts are good, they are from a pastry shop in the same town, go there!

05/07/2026: A historic trattoria serving traditional Lucanian dishes. Excellent ingredients, friendly, unobtrusive service. Service times were just right, and kudos to the waiters, who were always polite and friendly. We'll definitely be back when we're in Matera. 👏👏👏

04/07/2026: I give it an average three-star rating for these reasons. I called shortly after noon to make a reservation for dinner for two and was told that if I arrive between a quarter to eight and eight, I'll definitely find a table. What kind of answer is that? I ordered baked lasagna, nothing special. I ordered a platter of cold cuts and a cheese platter; nothing special. I asked for a mixed salad; they told me it wasn't on the menu and therefore wasn't served. But what kind of trattoria is it if it can't serve a mixed salad? The prices are high for the quality of the food. The tables are too small. They advertise it as a place with a long, historic tradition, perhaps once upon a time!

11/06/2026: If there's a place where good humor rises along with the dough, it's this out-of-this-world pizzeria, capable of catapulting you into orbit with the first bite. Phenomenal appetizers: bruschetta that smells of heaven, pettole as light as cosmic clouds. Excellent wine, quality perceived throughout, from the welcome to the coffee, super-clean bathrooms. From what I understand, this place is a must-try for the people of Matera because it was packed, yet we were very comfortable and received kind and efficient service.

30/05/2026: Never again... sky-high prices.... 2 very simple pizzas, 2 medium-sized, poor-quality pizzas... the lady at the cashier looked like she was three million euros in debt... all for only €42.50... we're exaggerating a bit!!!!

02/06/2026: The horse meat is delicious. The meatballs and diaphragm are the best in my opinion. I'll be back next time. 🌈 Congratulations to all the staff. 01-06-2026

03/05/2026: Family-run horse butcher shop with a grill, where you can eat anything you choose from the butcher's counter, from bone-in and boneless steaks to diaphragm steaks, roulades, sausages, meatballs, piadinas, carpaccio, and more... The meat is carefully selected and well-prepared, of excellent quality. The small, cozy place, and the friendly, welcoming staff immediately put you at ease. The meat is paired with an excellent wine selected by the owner. The service is fast, but the company and the friendliness of the owners will make you want to stay. What I really liked is that you only eat grilled meat, with no side dishes or appetizers that will fill you up before you get to the meat. The quality/price ratio is excellent. If you like horse meat, I recommend trying it; if you've never tried it, it's a great place to start.

06/05/2026: Good, fresh, polite, quality products

09/02/2026: A perfect place to have breakfast or an aperitif.

28/04/2026: We were welcomed very well by Mr. Tonino and above all we tasted some wonderful dishes.

11/03/2026: Excellent seafood in a lovely setting; a great place to eat in Lido.

07/07/2026: The staff are fantastic, we'll be back next time!

05/07/2026: Absolutely lovely staff, very helpful and polite. They actually understand and speak English, which was a relief. Thank you!

09/06/2026: EXCELLENCE, WARMTH, AND EXCELLENT CUISINE: simply perfect! We celebrated our little girl's baptism in the splendid Ermica reception hall last Sunday, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. From the first to the last moment, every detail was taken care of with great professionalism. The Welcome: From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with rare warmth and friendliness by the owner Anna and her entire staff. The staff is meticulous, attentive to every little need, and capable of making every guest feel at ease. The staff's organization allows us to enjoy the party without a care in the world, from the carefully curated outdoor setup for wonderful souvenir photos to the inclusion of freebies for the little ones throughout the day (the outdoor room is set up for a crepe and popcorn cart, as well as a play area for the children inside, who are, of course, supervised by staff). The music and vocalist were also fun, engaging all the guests with discretion and without being pushy. The Cuisine: The lunch was impeccable in every way. Each course was a triumph of flavors, with high-quality ingredients cooked to perfection and presented with great elegance and modernity. All our guests couldn't help but compliment the deliciousness and freshness of the dishes. (They even ordered second courses.) The location is enchanting and the atmosphere is magical, but it's the passion, precision, and heart of those who work there that truly make the difference. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the best for their special events. Hotel Sala Ricevimenti Ermica, a real guarantee!

07/06/2026: We got married a few days ago and celebrated here at Sala Ermica, and we couldn't have made a better choice!! We've been in love with the room for a while now, having attended another event there a couple of years ago. I already knew this would be our room for our special day, and so it was ❤️ Anna, the owner, was simply unique. She followed us every step of the way, was there for us at every moment, and was always thoughtful and ready to help. A thank you is never enough ❤️ Walter, the Maitre d', was impeccable, always available and ready, even for our little girl. He made all her wishes come true. And what can I say about the Chef? Wonderful dishes full of colors and aromas, every ingredient was of excellent quality. The waiters were always helpful and kind to everyone; they did an excellent job. My sincere compliments to Anna and all her staff. You made us live a dream come true! ❤️

02/06/2026: There are places you visit and then forget, and then there are places like Tempa Bianca, which manage to leave a lasting impression. From the first moment, we felt welcomed with genuine kindness, the kind that can't be faked and that makes you feel instantly at home.
