I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

11/01/2026: Today we had the pleasure of lunch at Sirtaki, a truly exceptional experience! We started with a delicious appetizer of cod and cruschi peppers, followed by a generous cheese platter and two first courses that won us over with their balanced flavors. The perfect finale was a melt-in-your-mouth Pizzo Calabro gelato. The service, from the incredibly sweet waitresses and the owner, was equally genuine and attentive, making us feel right at home. The location is wonderful, with an enchanting view of the lake, which makes everything even more special. Many compliments! We will definitely be back to discover other dishes from this restaurant that won us over. 🙏🏽🥰❤️ Highly recommended!

09/01/2026: It was my first time at SIRTAKI, and I have to thank some dear friends for it; otherwise, I wouldn't have discovered this restaurant. The food was excellent and very tasty, the staff was very kind and professional, and the location is truly charming. I will definitely return and recommend it.

06/01/2026: We recently left the farmhouse....I think 5 stars are too few, they deserve 10!!! Mrs. Piera is an exceptional person in the way she carries out her work, attentive and available, she welcomes and meets all the needs of the customer with care and also her kind way of being makes her unique. Salvatore's cooking is excellent, he too is super attentive and very good... Exquisite cured meats and cheeses, like the jam of their production, the tomato puree... the first and second courses... truly everything is delicious! You experience a homely, relaxing atmosphere and then the place is surrounded by greenery, in true nature and the children have a wonderful experience. The rooms are welcoming and very clean... I could really go on forever because there are only positive words and thoughts. We will definitely be back, thanks Piera and greetings from Michele, Giulia and Leonardo

03/01/2026: Our second stay, for three nights, at this agriturismo immersed in greenery and tranquility. A sincere thank you to Piera and her husband Marco, her brother Salvatore, and their parents AnnaMaria and Nicola, who truly made us feel at home. A further thank you to Piera for her advice and helpfulness, who went out of her way to accommodate our requests and needs. Warm regards also to the lovely "Befana," "Pipa," and everyone we met during this pleasant stay, which included excellent breakfasts and a New Year's Eve lunch featuring local, zero-mile products.

07/01/2026: The food is good, the price is fair and the restaurant owners and service are very attentive.

02/01/2026: Delicious tagliata and paccheri, fast service, and excellent staff. I recommend!

01/01/2026: Everything was excellent, we will return

10/12/2025: Welcoming environment, great for families

22/09/2025: Spectacular food! Starting with the appetizers, featuring local, authentic Lucanian products, an endless variety that's already filling. The eggs with sausage and crusco peppers were an unforgettable dish! The first courses were also excellent, also prepared with local ingredients. Unfortunately, I was too full to try the meat-based main courses, but I'll definitely be back next time! The place is very cute, although a little hard to spot from the street because it's next to a gas station. Service was far too fast; I would have preferred a few minutes' pause between appetizers and first courses to better enjoy each course and prepare for another hearty meal.

22/09/2025: Great experience, everything locally sourced. I recommend it: excellent quality, food, and quantity. In fact, I'll be celebrating my 60th birthday there. Greetings from Una Tarantina sitting at table 4 yesterday, September 21, 25

06/01/2026: What can I say…the best orecchiette with turnip tops I've ever eaten.

04/01/2026: The food was excellent, the chef had refined ideas and the dishes were perfectly executed. The best fava beans and chicory in the area. Very fair value for money. Very nice location.

18/01/2026: We weren't able to order from this establishment because it was closing time when we passed by, but the courtesy and willingness shown in supporting us/tolerating us by waiting for us outside of opening hours for the Giant Bench stamp were enormous. ‼ ‼ ‼ Certainly poured into their daily work... ❗🏍❗🏍❗🏍 Thank you so much ‼👌🏼❗👍🏼❗

31/10/2025: Excellent lunch with local, zero-mile products

22/01/2026: Typical Neapolitan pizza, good and well-leavened! Friendly staff! Welcoming place! Normal prices!

07/12/2025: The food is good, the chef is talented, the service is excellent, and... they smile. June 1, 2023.

05/01/2026: Not a completely satisfying experience. Nice location in a great central location. The dishes were very well presented; the first courses were good, but the second courses lacked a bit of flavor, in our opinion. The service was certainly helpful but inattentive, due to only one person in the dining room serving all the guests.

04/01/2026: Refined dishes and quality raw materials

01/02/2026: Despite our unreasonable delay, the owner and staff welcomed us with open arms and smiles. Rocco and the waitress were impeccable, the place is amazing, and the owner and his magical cuisine captivated us. It would have been a real shame if, because of our delay, we'd missed out on an experience like this, which earned us a top rating. Wonderful.

24/01/2026: A tasteful and courteous experience. A lunch that fully deserves five stars; my choice fell on spaghetti with fondue and truffle and lamb Satrianese-style. What can I say, everything was excellent, from the taste to the presentation, not to mention the courtesy of the staff, who welcomed us and our dog into a comfortable and well-kept environment. I will be back, and with pleasure ✌️

22/10/2025: A meticulously maintained setting in the heart of the Sassi di Matera. Authentic cuisine, with thoughtful reinterpretations that don't distort the essence of tradition. A top-notch wine list. And a special mention to all the staff, all extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

21/10/2025: Fabulous menu with quite a few seafood options. Atmosphere makes you feel at home. Excellent house red wine.

11/11/2025: Exceeded all expectations! The cuisine is elaborate, yet unpretentious. The highlight is the chef's skill in harmonizing the ingredients used, all of which are of evident quality and freshness. Kudos to the chef and the entire team, efficient and friendly. Considering the quality, the value for money is also excellent. We'll definitely return and recommend it.

02/11/2025: 🗓️Last ​​weekend in Basilicata, we had dinner at the "Sotto la Torre" restaurant in Satriano di Lucania. 🤵‍♂️The hospitality and skill of the staff, both in serving and explaining the dishes served—all expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and with balanced flavors—made it a pleasant discovery. I think it deserves greater recognition, not only from locals but also from tourists like us. And why not, in my opinion, it also deserves some recognition. 🏆 Here's what we were delighted with. Welcome aperitif: Peperone crusco with ricotta mousse and duck speck. Paired with: Prosecco di Valdobbiadene. And from their bread: Peperone crusco, Sesame white bread, Turmeric and Ferrandina olives, Cuttlefish ink. Cuttlefish egg in a crust of its ink on a potato mousse, stracciatella, Stigliano pistachio, and a dusting of beetroot. Dry-marinated salmon with: Zucchini with mint, passion fruit dressing. Accompanied by: Watermelon sgroppino. Podolica beef tartare with: tuna sauce, almonds, capers, and balsamic vinegar. Slow-cooked egg on a cheese fondue, savory crumble, truffle, and cardoncelli mushrooms from the Lucanian mountains. Saffron Carnaroli rice with: Red shrimp tartare, buffalo mozzarella sauce, raspberry caviar, and parsley powder. Double-cooked octopus on a roasted pepper sauce, purple potato mousse, and sweet and sour Tropea onion. All accompanied by Verbo Bianco, from the cellars of Venosa. 2024 Small pastries with: Melon sphere, Pineapple, Carrot mousse, Creamy ricotta and mango. And to finish, Cheesecake mousse with berries. 🧳 If you're near Satriano di Lucania, you can't miss it. 😋 You won't regret it. 🤩

23/10/2025: Pasticiotto and super nun's head

18/10/2025: I ordered a Sacher cake as a birthday cake and it was absolutely amazing. Very light and very tasty!

02/01/2026: A quick but delicious lunch. A simple and welcoming place with a pizza oven and plenty of Matera bread on display. We had the fava bean and chicory cream and the pignatella...exceptional! The lamb was incredibly tender and had a unique flavor with the vegetables and caciocavallo cheese. No. 1. Average prices and quick service with friendly staff.

31/12/2025: The courtesy and quality of the dishes served are the strong points of this place. Try the pignata with mutton, truly excellent.
