I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

05/01/2026: A place for old people!!! It couldn't have been worse!

11/10/2025: I returned after a year. Authentic, locally sourced food. Very friendly staff. The platters and cheeses are highly recommended.

21/09/2025: Nice little place, though nothing special. Good food, but I'd say the prices are a bit high. The quality-price ratio is poor, but it could be improved.

15/01/2026: It's like, "Either you eat this soup or you jump into the lake." We had lunch on our way back from Christmas vacation, passing by these wonderful lakes, and there was only one first course available—basically, pasta with tomato sauce. Something like this has never happened before. The place is beautiful and comfortable, warm, with the stove on, etc. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing, and there were very few people around. The service was excellent, but come on, at least have a couple of choices! The fries were very expensive, we spent a fortune, and the food was street food, worth it just for the romantic setting.

27/12/2025: The owner is friendly and helpful, the service is excellent and the value for money is excellent!

12/10/2025: A terrible experience, one to forget! I hope I don't end up in the hospital because the food was truly awful!

12/10/2025: Terrible food, unpleasant smell, non-existent cleanliness, while we were eating flies landed in our faces and on the food, TOTALLY DISADVICED, I couldn't give less than one star

19/05/2025: Sunday lunch. Booked in advance. The place was packed beyond capacity, even blocking the wheelchair ramp. The food didn't arrive. After the appetizer, which wasn't enough for the number of people we were, we decided to leave. It was impossible to continue in that chaos and we had been at the table for almost two hours. The owner treated us terribly, very arrogant. We paid too much for the misery they brought us.

12/05/2025: It was an experience to forget. Since the restaurant was full, the staff immediately seemed very annoyed at having to be there, but apart from that, there is no menu so you eat what is told to you verbally without a price or an indication of allergens or whether it is frozen or not. After ordering, we first received the pasta with tomato sauce for the children (cold), then the appetizers in measly portions because, we discovered later, they had mixed up the table orders and so we ate (and paid) for a table of 8, but with portions for a table of 4. The worst is yet to come, in fact the second courses arrived before the first courses and despite this the meat was cold and we had to send it back because it tasted rancid, as if it had been cooked and left there. Disgusted, but still respectful and polite, we wanted to address the problem to the cashier, but avoiding unnecessary confrontations; except that the lady at the checkout started shouting, pointing at us and saying "they're waiting because they want to argue". Well dear lady, if we had wanted to argue we would have had every reason, because you don't give spoiled food to people, especially at a table with two two year old children. We (over)paid and left certain that you will never see us again because that's not how you work in a serious way, I'm sorry for other unfortunate people who, like us, will stumble upon your ineptitude.

16/01/2026: Quite expensive and the food wasn't exciting.

29/12/2025: The food was quite good, but the wait was endless... And could you have charged the coffee and liqueurs at a normal price? How could you ruin everything with a kind gesture? Thanks anyway...

25/12/2025: Extremely high prices, too noisy. NEVER AGAIN

29/10/2025: It's not newly built, but it's very well maintained and cared for. The rooms lack nothing, even a small refrigerator. The bathroom is very clean and well-stocked with soaps and other amenities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good and varied. The location is perfect for those looking for a quiet stay, but it's quite far from the town center.

25/10/2025: I'm giving it a 1 because you can't give a 0 (or in our case, even less). I can't rate either the food or the drinks because, due to the absolutely rude, aggressive, unpleasant, and completely unprofessional behavior (and completely gratuitous), we left, avoiding (most likely what would have happened) the terrible food and drinks. Incidentally, the name of the place is now Maracuja. One wonders how places like this, run like this, manage to stay open. We later discovered they have a terrible reputation throughout Matera. Perhaps that's why they changed the name to Maracuja, so that people looking for reviews wouldn't find them. Stay away, and any other place in Matera will be better off.

22/10/2025: 8 euros for a couple of drinks and then a fight to use the toilets - not very impressed
