I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

07/01/2026: An enchanting location, surrounded by nature. Suitable for all types of travelers, singles, couples, and families. A short drive or walk will easily take you to the centers of Rotonda and Viggianello, two of Italy's most beautiful villages. The Masseria's restaurant is simply stunning, offering traditional dishes expertly prepared by Antonio, the chef and owner, with a simple and authentic approach, just like his dishes. Highly recommended.

02/01/2026: Dinner featuring local specialties, including cured meats, cheeses, meat, and truffles. Excellent and generous dishes at a truly fair price, and the staff is extremely friendly.

03/01/2026: A welcoming place surrounded by nature, suitable for everyone from children to adults. The food is impeccable.

02/01/2026: Have a beautiful New Year's Eve ❤️

03/12/2025: Delicious ice cream and crepes. Highly recommended!

02/12/2025: Excellent artisanal gelato. Top-quality ingredients. Among the various flavors, I chose these: Metaponto strawberry and Lucanian pistachio from San Mauro Forte. The owner, whom I met by chance outside the shop, was very kind; I could have talked for hours. Nothing ordinary!

20/12/2025: 5 stars in everything, staff, location, food and hospitality. I will return with great pleasure.

09/12/2025: Excellent restaurant. It offers tasting menus and slightly more sophisticated à la carte menus, as well as a "pop" à la carte menu featuring excellent traditional dishes.

13/01/2026: Cozy atmosphere. Delicious food - every bite was a delight, especially the truffle tagliatelle. You can see how the chef prepares the dishes - admiration for the cleanliness in the kitchen. And the wonderful sweet girl from Morocco made our evening even more pleasant with a smile, perfect service and friendly attitude.

12/01/2026: Here, we came for the pasta. It was epic. Situated just near some of the main plaza and attractions is Kapunto. This is a modern restaurant I would say. I really liked the decor and all the cutlery and plate design. Very clean and great staff. There was a buzzing little atmosphere and the locals were chatting hard with staff which was great to see. I loved watching this. I found that the pasta course with some bread and a bottle of wine was a great meal - one would need to be hungry to manage two courses though I would say. The pasta here was just incredible and freshly made. You can see from the images how good this was made. The mushroom and tomatoe sauces we had were bith rich and flavourful. The wine was also a good choice. This is somewhere I would come back to if local and suggest travellers come and visit. Thank you for a great lunch.

08/12/2025: We visited this restaurant today, December 8, 2025. It was a fantastic experience, definitely worth repeating. The products were top-quality, the atmosphere was welcoming, the staff were very attentive, and the atmosphere was clean. Everything was truly exceptional.

08/12/2025: Very pleasant experience. Quality food and really good portions. Helpful staff and very clean and well-kept environment. Pleasant day.

05/01/2026: Legendary sandwiches! Excellent and varied food. We went for both lunch and dinner! Highly recommended. Kudos to the owner, Annamaria, and her husband!

01/01/2026: Phenomenal sandwiches!!! We ordered two coppa and caciocavallo impiccato sandwiches, and they were heavenly, warmed up in the oven and crunchy. The owners are very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend it.

03/01/2026: Materia Prima Bistrot is strategically located in the heart of Matera, perfect for those seeking a central hub for an aperitivo. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, and the place immediately conveys a sense of comfort that invites you to sit back and relax after a stroll through the Sassi. We tried the classic Spritz, wine, and sparkling wines, which were all delicious, well-prepared, and the menu offered enough variety to satisfy a wide range of tastes. The snacks and appetizers are also varied and well-presented, with clear and detailed descriptions directly on the menu, ensuring complete transparency regarding what you're ordering. The sore point, however, is the prices of these accompaniments: despite everything being clearly labeled, the price-to-quantity ratio seems excessive in my opinion, with portions that leave a bitter taste in the mouth when the bill arrives. Overall, it was a positive experience for the location, atmosphere, and quality of the drinks, but the price of the appetizers weighed down the final rating and made the quality/quantity ratio less convincing. However, there are several aspects that are worth mentioning, especially for those looking for a pleasant aperitivo in a central area of ​​Matera.

28/10/2025: A little treat for the mouth: shortbread cookies with delicious cream, focaccia with tomato pesto and two sauces, it was absolutely delicious. The service was very pleasant, the music and atmosphere were great, you'll want to sit here 👌

20/10/2025: A fantastic family with passion and professionalism! Piero

28/09/2025: Everything very nice and good, highly recommended

25/01/2026: The food is excellent!!! Exquisite, as is the entire staff!! Must try!

06/01/2026: Found by chance while traveling in a camper, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness, we ate very well, everything was delicious but the dessert was divine. Thank you.

16/11/2025: Very nice place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The dishes are varied and delicious—not spectacular, but good. I wish I could have given it 4.5 stars instead of 5 because I think the prices are excessive, but I've noticed that they've become so pretty much everywhere in Matera.

15/11/2025: Tierra is one of those places that stays in your heart. The restaurant is meticulously designed, with an atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. The staff is exceptionally kind, always attentive and smiling. Special thanks go to Roberta, who runs this wonderful restaurant with passion and professionalism along with her partner Domenico. Domenico's cuisine is simply out of this world: authentic, refined dishes prepared with a care rarely found elsewhere. We've visited many restaurants, but the quality and authenticity of the flavors found at Tierra are truly unique. Between this place and a Michelin-starred restaurant... honestly, I wouldn't notice the difference. An excellent experience in every way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable gastronomic journey in Matera.

19/10/2025: Beautiful reception hall, excellent food quality, courtesy and attention from the staff

28/09/2025: Excellent and beautiful. Recommended for weddings.

28/12/2025: A beautiful restaurant nestled in the greenery of a forest. The scenery is stunning, the food is quite good. The tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms were good, but the mushrooms were sparse. The antipasto was good but nothing special, and the cured meats were standard fare.

13/12/2025: Excellent food and young, courteous staff... in a fairytale atmosphere.

19/01/2026: A stroll to discover the Lucanian villages, always rich in history and tradition. Looking for a place to taste typical dishes, we found ourselves in a family-run restaurant. A father, a mother, and Stefano, in love with their land and their business, delighted us with simple dishes yet rich in passion, history, flavors, and traditions. Our heartfelt congratulations, keep up the good work!

07/01/2026: Highly recommended!!! We went a few nights ago with our dog, and I have to say it was a real treat. The food was exceptional and authentic, made with top-quality local products. Kudos to the owner and all the staff!!! We'll be back to visit beautiful Basilicata and will definitely return to Piccolo Ristoro le Rocce!

05/01/2026: A true agriturismo with its own products and traditional dishes that are rarely found these days. The food is top-notch, and the owners' courtesy is exceptional.

03/01/2026: Excellent food and hospitality. Well done I returned with my wife on Sunday for lunch... We had a wonderful meal, with the usual exquisite hospitality and kindness. Even better! Very good!
