I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

27/09/2025: The arrosticini are excellent, with various cooking methods. The rest is just unnecessary frills, although I was served some excellent cavatelli with cruschi peppers off the menu. On the other hand, the bruschetta was unacceptable, burnt, and poorly garnished. The prices are excellent. Again, stick to the house specialty and little else.

14/09/2025: EVERYONE should come here!! The best thing I've ever eaten: Arrosticini Angus, castrato, and a chocolate bar, which is their own product ♥️🥰 I love this place and want to cry that I live 2,076 km away 😭. I envy the locals! Very friendly and wonderful service!

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 in this place, it is very difficult to find a seat because it is always full. Nice location near the sea. The staff is very kind. Good quality and well prepared food. Lunch was based on fish. I particularly recommend the seafood paccheri. We ate a series of starters and two types of first courses. The portions were so generous that we couldn't eat the second course. I recommend you try this restaurant. Book at least two weeks before the requested day to avoid disappointment.

14/07/2025: Excellent quality of food, atmosphere and kindness!

24/05/2025: A marvel of a location immersed in peace. Excellent food with welcoming and professional staff. I missed the food of my land❤️

13/10/2025: The steak was delicious! The bread was also delicious. I ate the whole basket and had to have it with olive oil and vinegar.

13/10/2025: Food was so good it felt like a warm hug.

14/10/2025: An elegant bar with meticulous attention to detail. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. A wide selection of high-quality products, from breakfast to aperitifs, is available. The aperitif, in particular, is truly fantastic: rich, beautifully presented, and made with select ingredients. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the best.

06/09/2025: A quaint and unique bar in Irsina. Fabulous 😋😉 An unmissable stop! We'll be back

30/09/2025: Very good pizza at a very good price. Good beer. We ate in the garden, and the owner noticed we were constantly swatting away wasps. He came over, apologized, and invited us inside. Respect.

28/09/2025: Very friendly staff, delicious food, good value for money.

07/09/2025: I always return with great pleasure. The meat is excellent, and the skill in cooking it is an added bonus. Hospitality, warmth, and quality are the hallmarks of this place.

03/09/2025: Amazing! I've never eaten meat this good!! My advice: don't pass by without stopping at El Toro Loco!

20/08/2025: Consigliato per gli ottimi cornetti, per un brunch, cordialità e gentilezza la fanno da padrona.

19/07/2025: Kindness and professionalism characterize this café. We had a great time: the staff is friendly and welcoming, the croissants are fresh and tasty, and the coffee is truly excellent. A pleasant experience that I definitely recommend!

02/07/2025: Siamo stati alla Latteria dietro consiglio e…gran consiglio!! Abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Taglieri, spaghetti san giovannino, guanciale di vitello, tagliata, formaggio alla piastra. Tutto buonissimo. Se andate a Matera alla Latteria non sbagliate.

23/05/2025: Zeer verfijnde keuken. Alles zeer lekker! Vriendelijk personeel, vlotte bediening, gezellig en rustig straatje! Goede prijs/kwaliteit. Een aanrader!

03/10/2025: A very refined venue. A relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and a spectacular chef. A wonderful discovery, and I'll definitely be back! EXCELLENT

23/09/2025: Disappointing experience. I advise tourists like me NOT to visit this restaurant, as the service is terrible. Non-locals aren't treated the same way as locals. I dined here with my family. There were only three of us. We showed up without a reservation, and when they told us there was no room inside, they invited us to sit outside on the patio. This treatment wasn't extended to a couple who arrived shortly afterward. They initially seated them outside like us, but after a few words and a smile at the waitresses, they were escorted inside. It presents itself as a trattoria, but offers a limited menu of gourmet dishes (I recommend changing the name) at an unjustified high price given the poor quality. The pasta was served to me practically raw; it couldn't even be described as "al dente." Perhaps the chef, who wanders around the tables doing public relations in a white jacket and shorts (bad presentation), should spend more time in the kitchen. To conclude, they served two completely cold coffees, and in response to our complaints, they replied that it was our fault—we'd waited too long to drink it, after twenty minutes of waiting before we were served. The waitress didn't even apologize, making excuses and not even responding to my farewell greeting. A truly rude person who perhaps should learn to be more humble.

21/10/2025: The view of Matera is very pretty, and at night it's magical. Access is good, but the place is very large, making it impersonal and a bit noisy. The food is good but lacks refinement.

20/10/2025: We dined here as part of the Matera walking tour, and found it to be a very pleasant place with excellent quality dishes. The tour of the cellars was interesting, and compliments to all the staff. Highly recommended!

22/09/2025: Highly recommended, I was on holiday and they directed me there but I will go back sooner or later, perfect

21/09/2025: Every time we go to Basilicata, it's a regular stop, and it never disappoints. The restaurant's highlight is the spade (spade). Each one is better than the last, though for my personal taste, the bombette (a kind of fried pork shoulder) is the best. The antipasto, gli sfizi di Nonnandò, consists of five typical Lucanian specialties, which vary from time to time, and are cooked just like grandma used to make. Everything is excellent, even the desserts, and the staff is always quick and attentive, even when the place is full. We can't wait to return, although unfortunately we'll have to wait until next year.

01/11/2025: Really good pizza.... Highly recommended

21/10/2025: The staff were extremely kind and attentive, and the food was excellent, high-quality, and traditional Lucanian. Highly recommended.

01/11/2025: Beautiful and well-kept hotel, friendly staff, very nice and interesting excursion with Basilicata Adventure. The main problem was a Halloween party/disco in a room in the small hotel until 2:30 a.m. Even though we were on the second floor, the volume and bass were so high that the bed vibrated. It was a sleepless night and we had to wake up early for the excursion they organized. We recommend notifying guests before booking.

03/10/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, especially the night receptionist, who welcomed me like family, despite my stressful time. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, and the breakfast was generous. With a better shower, it would be perfect!
