I migliori ristorantinella città Policoro della Matera

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!!!!

27/09/2025: Excellent meat, excellent service, and equally good prices. RECOMMENDED!!

21/11/2025: Few paccheri 5 of number little fish in the seasoning, they advise things or do or I don't know do thanks

20/11/2025: Traditional cuisine from neighboring towns, updated with a touch of flair and a few twists, partly based on the ingredients found at the market. The preparation is excellent, the flavor is excellent, and the service and presentation are almost impeccable. We'll definitely return! The prices seem appropriate for the quality of the food, as well as the hard work and dedication put into it by the owners and staff.

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.

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.

20/10/2025: Everything was really excellent. The wine list was extensive.

19/10/2025: My husband and I went to Essenza in Policoro. Everything was perfect! It's always a pleasure to return. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service impeccable, everyone extremely kind and professional, and the food is excellent in terms of quality and preparation! Spending a lovely Sunday lunch at Essenza is something everyone should try! We'll definitely be back! We can't wait! Thank you. Patrizia Rogolino

15/11/2025: We had a delicious dinner; every dish was so flavorful, from the appetizer to the main course. The service was so pleasant, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere in this restaurant perfectly complemented the dining experience. Thank you, and we'll definitely be back!

10/11/2025: Fresh, excellent fish. The restaurant's style and dishes are certainly a throwback, but that's what I like; in fact, I go there 2-3 times a year. A safe haven where you can enjoy excellent, generous seafood dishes at a fair price.

10/10/2025: Delicious and inviting products

11/09/2025: Small place but really excellent products

29/08/2025: A pleasant surprise. I hadn't eaten at this restaurant before, but after this dinner, it certainly won't be the last for both my guests and me. Everything was delicious. The meat was good quality and well-cooked. A special mention goes to the chef's carefully selected crostini. The staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable, punctual, and meticulous. My guests have a large dog, so when booking, we asked for a secluded table, and the owner accommodated our request. Highly recommended.

28/07/2025: Yet another visit in 2025 and delicious again Another visit in 2024 and another very lovely meal. Lovely meal and local wine, excellent service

04/10/2025: Not recommended!!! Avoid. Unprofessional waiters. Poor quality and quantity of food. Terrible service.

04/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, with quality products. Only one flaw: it's a bit noisy.

25/08/2025: We've eaten at this bakery several times. Very fair prices, one of the best focaccias I've ever eaten. They also offer first and second courses. For a quick lunch at very reasonable prices. Everything I ate at this bakery was good. It made our holiday in Policoro more enjoyable. We will definitely return to this bakery.

22/08/2025: Very good food and excellent variety of ready meals

27/08/2025: We've been trying to book for 3 years...we've succeeded now, what can I say, excellent dishes, good prices...we'll definitely be back, we'll book in June 🤣🤣

24/08/2025: Today we finally ate at this restaurant. It's very difficult to find a table because it's always packed. Beautiful location near the sea. The staff is very friendly. The food is good quality and well-prepared. Lunch was seafood-based. I especially recommend the seafood paccheri. We had a variety of appetizers and two first courses. The portions were so generous that we couldn't finish the second course. I recommend trying this restaurant. Book at least two weeks in advance to avoid disappointment.

22/09/2025: Everyone is extremely kind, impeccable service, good food, worth stopping by

10/09/2025: A little more space wouldn't hurt for the rest of an Italian bar

27/09/2025: Unfortunately, I can't give less than one star. We ordered two pizzas and a sandwich. They arrived after almost three hours! They were inedible, to say the least! My companion's pizza, a tuna and onion pizza with fries, was a dry, unseasoned disc under an excessive amount of very cold fries that smelled of fried fish (obviously, changing the oil or using separate fryers would be too much work). My pizza, a diavola with mushrooms and fries, was truly inedible! The consistency was that of a dry toasted slice. The mozzarella, what little there was on the pizza, had the typical odor of a modified atmosphere, a mix between methane and bleach. It's the smell of mozzarella in a modified atmosphere at just over €5 a kilo. The mushrooms got lost along the way because there wasn't even a hint of them, the salami was of extremely poor quality, and the fries, in my case very few, were flavored with fish like my companion's. Sooner or later, you'll run into someone with a fish allergy. Ultimately, we waited three hours for a terrible meal. The sandwich was edible, although the bread was very dry and fell apart when bitten into. I don't usually write negative reviews because I think oversights can happen, but operating this way, with prices equal to those of other pizzerias that produce much better products, is completely unfair. Total €30.00. Never again!

27/08/2025: Very helpful, kind and friendly staff.. perfect food there was not a single thing wrong compliments to the owners will definitely do it again

03/10/2025: Excellent food, cooked with genuine ingredients. Courtesy and professionalism are always the hallmarks of everyone who works at Invidia Pizzeria. The atmosphere is spacious and welcoming. The takeout service is very prompt. Highly recommended.

24/09/2025: When we came we weren't expecting anything special but it was amazing! We asked for a salad to be made for us, even though it wasn't on the menu, and it was really good! The pizzas were amazing and the gluten-free dough was amazing!

07/07/2025: Very good sandwiches, we tried the one with sweet sausage and also with horse meat. Chips 🔝, fresh and not the classic frozen ones. Good house wine and also the draft beer. Cheap price, the total for all this stuff and a coke zero was €20. Friendly staff, open and clean terrace.

02/07/2025: Is it possible that the opening hours of the place cannot be known, closed at two in the afternoon, I had come with such illusion. Correction When I pass by Policoro again I will stop by to eat something since now the hours have been updated. Expectations are high.
