I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina lucana in Matera

12/08/2025: The atmosphere is very quiet despite its central location. We went for lunch and ate typical local dishes, all delicious. They also have gluten-free options. The waiters were friendly and attentive. Recommended!

09/08/2025: This is the second time that I'm writing this comment. Unfortunately the first time it was deleted by mistake. Anyway I'm writing in English because it will be easier to understand for everybody. And also this is very short version of previous comment. 1. The food was good. 2. Wine: here I would like to tell A LOT A LOT about the wine. For the people, who don't know. Here, in Basilicana, they make a sparkling wine. Even in Matera is Matera spumante metodo classico. But I was drinking Prosecco😐. As a sommelier I like to taste something new. I like to taste the wine of the zone. But the sommelier/responsabile di sala decided that prosecco is good. I understand that here are a lot of tourists who don't give a damn about what are they drinking or eating or seeing, or hearing(about hearing later). But wine, architecture and food help you represent zone, to hove more client and, obviously earn more money. So please, put some spumante of the zone in your cantina. By the way, red wine is from Basilicana and it was good(after prosecco I asked for something local) 3. HEARING. Meanwhile I was eating, this osteria was visited by the group of Asian people. And I've heard some racist jokes from the waiter and responsabile sala, or whoever he is, which I don't really appreciate. If you don't like another races - speak about it at home, not on a work, or to a client. P.S. I didn't have a possibility to taste Matera spumante, so I can't tell anything about this. But still this is the wine of the zone. At least serve wine of Puglia, if you don't like Matera DOC, but not a sparkling from the opposite part of Italy...

24/07/2025: Comida muy sabrosa, muy bien presentada. El entrante de la ensalada de “pan rancio” era ligero y delicioso. La pasta de orchiette con salchicha Italiano estaba muy buena al igual que la parmigiana. Una nota negativa fue la carta de vinos que ofrecía botellas en su mayoría muy caras , sólo una o dos botellas por 25 euros luego un gran salto en el precio.

16/07/2025: The food was good, though nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the staff's behavior at checkout: they were rude, gave us rude feedback, and neither greeted nor thanked us. Despite our correct point out that the coffee was missing from the receipt, they responded rudely. Furthermore, the €4 cover charge per person seemed excessive.

22/06/2025: Original dishes even if based on local recipes, impeccable service, classy location, exquisite owner. What can I say? Recommended!

17/06/2025: Definitely recommended because of the decor and the atmosphere

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

20/08/2025: Positive experience, a bit too long of a wait because apparently there was no waiter, otherwise very satisfied especially with the quality of the food

16/08/2025: Excellent and highly recommend top staff freshness of food comes first

01/09/2025: The atmosphere and dishes are quite popular, as a trattoria should be! In my opinion, all the dishes were missing something that would hold them together better and give them the finishing touch! Prices are too high for the quality/service/ambience price.

01/09/2025: If you're looking for authentic food and local atmosphere, this is the place to eat in Matera. Eggplant lasagna is absolutely delicious and so is the Cavatelli alla lucana.

24/08/2025: A cold welcome. Excellent quality of ingredients and tasty dishes. Be prepared to climb a very steep flight of stairs to access the dining room.

23/08/2025: Typical dishes made with high-quality ingredients, with a few subtle twists to complete the experience. Good value.

09/08/2025: Accueil chaleureux très bonne nourriture. Les pâtes sont faites maison. Bon choix de vin . Nous reviendrons lors de notre prochain séjour

07/08/2025: Excellent moment passé dans un décor élégant, avec une ambiance musicale apaisante. La cuisine est savoureuse, le service efficace et les prix raisonnables. Nous recommandons dons chaudement.

05/08/2025: We discovered this place by chance, and I was very pleased. We ordered many dishes, all of which were delicious. The pizza was excellent, the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and came in generous portions at a great price. Their traditional pasta dish with cruschi and fried breadcrumbs was also delicious, the pasta and beans were special, and the fried fish was excellent. Special praise goes to the grilled ring I had; perfect is the only word I can give. The price was also reasonable for the quality of the ingredients. Special thanks to Rocco, the waiter who served us, always quick, kind, and smiling, something that is no longer a given. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back.

09/07/2025: Very characteristic location, attentive service, excellent cuisine

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 .

20/04/2025: Cena per 6, cibi eccezionali cucinati con gusto. Abbiamo preso lo stracotto in crosta, le zuppe, due primi con pezzenta di maialino e pomodorini, vino, dolci. Ogni piatto dal più semplice al più complesso era gustoso e lavorato bene. Le materie prime si sentivano di prima qualità. Costo totale euro 100. Molto soddisfatti. Personale gentile. Servizio ottimo.

19/04/2025: Sono tornata al paese per una visita con una mia zia che è di Irisna e mio marito che è di Napoli e ci siamo fermati alla trattoria Nigent dopo aver letto le recensioni online. La signora Gigia è una padrona di casa eccellente e ha saputo consigliarci bene per provare i piatti tipici della tradizione lucana senza strafare. Tutti prodotti locali freschi, di elevata qualità e piatti davvero ben preparati. I dolci della signora Gigia sono stratosferici e preparati con ingredienti freschissimi, e si sentiva. Il locale è molto ben arredato con elementi tipici Irisnesi che lo caratterizzano con eleganza senza strafare. Anche i vini e i liquori preparati dalla Signora Gigia e Mario erano davvero molto buoni. Esperienza da ripetere la prossima volta che torniamo al paese.

19/08/2025: You brought me this thing that God forbid you call food, it's a shame to waste your money in shops that don't respect the customer. You served it to me frozen and with a terrible taste, not even an animal would eat your food. My only mistake was that I didn't bring it to the kitchen for you to eat!!! And the worst part was that we could hear you arguing in the kitchen and cursing... You don't respect your customers and the money they leave you... I hope you change.. And that's the purpose of my review!! Good luck...

18/08/2025: An excellent Matera trattoria in a wonderful location. Definitely worth a try.
