I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

15/09/2025: Passing through Maratea, we decided to stop at this little place selling traditional products. I must say I was very impressed both with the products I ate (delicious) and with the intimate atmosphere in a small piazza decorated with photos. The owner is a very honest person who lets you try his products without overcharging or being intrusive.

24/08/2025: I dreamed of a typical sandwich, perhaps with a touch of Lucanian tradition and a friendly smile. Instead, I found a masterpiece of coldness, seasoned with rudeness and stuffed with condescendingness. The owners? A textbook duo: zero empathy, courtesy on sale (sold out), and plenty of rudeness. The sandwich looked like it came from a refrigerator on strike, but at least it was consistent with the atmosphere: cold, hasty, hostile. A place like this should only be visited to test your own zen limits. But if you prefer to eat in peace... follow your instincts and cross the street.

18/06/2025: Abbiamo festeggiato la prima comunione, personale cortese e attento, piatti ottimi. Grande Pino, disponibile ad accontentare sempre il cliente!!

01/06/2025: Pranzo da dimenticare.. 01.06. Il cameriere ha annotato la nostra comanda alle 14.. Ma aihme abbiamo dovuto attendere 2 ore per gustare un immangiabile raviolo cacio e pepe e uno spaghetto alle vongole( questo dal sapore buono). A una delle bambine (tra l'altro celiaca) è toccata una sorte peggiore.. Una pennetta al sugo completamente cruda(la cucina per azzittire le nostre bocche ha pensato di far uscire comunque la pasta dopo tutta quella attesa) . I camerieri non hanno avuto nemmeno la bontà di intrattenerci con acqua e pane.. La mia bimba per la fame ha mangiato tutto il pane gluten free della cuginetta. Ci siamo alzati affamati e pagando una cifra spropositata...ah dimenticavo.. Il ristorante cucina senza glutine ma bisogna aspettare che finisca di cucinare per tutti.. E dimenticatevi la cotoletta che è un must nel menù dei bambini se ci andate con un bimbo celiaco!

05/10/2025: The room and bathroom were spacious, with a large window and mountain views. The furnishings were a bit dated but well-maintained, and the housekeeping was excellent. The dinner was very good, with well-seasoned pasta and tasty meat. We also tried the pizza, which was excellent! The ingredients were fresh. The owner was very kind and helpful.

24/10/2025: They don't give discounts and they charge tourists like us double because they don't have a table displayed.

11/09/2025: I bought some delicious sweets from this pastry shop.

18/09/2025: The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating on multiple levels. The waiter was friendly and professional. The food was good, but we didn't find the quality to justify the high prices. The mixed cod appetizer tasted like little, served with more sauce than cod. The orecchiette were good, and the softened cod was also tasty, but it, too, had the cod smell. I'd return at least for the pizza. The menu's design was poor, with colorful pages and grayscale printing.

01/08/2025: We booked a table but then waited a long time to order and eat...

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

06/09/2025: A simply surreal experience. There were 12 of us, including 7 children, and we just wanted to order pizzas for dinner. I showed up at 7:30 PM to place my order and pay in advance: the response was, "We don't take orders. Come at 9:00 PM and we'll make them for you." Unusual, but I trusted them. At 9:00 PM I returned, hoping that at least the children could eat. The lady at the cash register—rude and clearly annoyed—didn't even have the courage to look in: she disappeared. After minutes of waiting, I asked the pizza chef, who started counting the dough balls and candidly told me, "I can't make them for you." No explanation, no alternative. Just a dismissal with, "Go ahead, there's another pizzeria." The result? A broken promise, no professionalism, total disorganization, and zero respect for families with children. I've never had a similar experience at any other pizzeria. If you want a quiet and reliable evening, the advice is only one: go elsewhere.

05/09/2025: I can't review it was closed for weekly rest

16/09/2025: Terrible experience. It felt like a coffee and beer bar that turned into a restaurant. Perhaps the worst place I've ever eaten. All the fish was definitely frozen and badly cooked. The service needs to be reconsidered, the wait staff definitely not up to the job they're supposed to do. The lobster packets should be renamed "some pacchero al pomodoro," the octopus tasted like chewing gum, the wine was even warm, the fried fish tasted like cardboard. We're talking about "nightmare kitchens." It's only worth a visit because it was the only restaurant open in town.

14/09/2025: The food? Who saw it?! The service? Terrible! The atmosphere? Screaming in the kitchen and bathroom, only for men and women, dirty! A terrible experience.

27/09/2025: Kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism. Fresh and refined flavors. Wide selection on the menu. Welcoming place. A truly wonderful experience.

20/08/2025: The menu offers a wide variety of dishes. The quality of the platters is, in my opinion, the best in the city. The owner is very attentive to his customers' needs. Wait times are short, with a few exceptions on busy days, but the friendliness and kindness of the staff deserve that extra star. I was extremely satisfied, and my friends were equally satisfied. We will definitely be back.

02/10/2025: First of all, the excellent quality of the food, a warm and familiar atmosphere, what can I say, an experience to be repeated over time

14/07/2025: Please remember that customers always have the right to express their opinion, even if it's simply a comment about a price difference, even if it's just a euro. Rescinding someone's opinion without a real reason or logic is neither a sign of good manners nor respect. Courtesy, especially in a business open to the public, should be a fundamental value. It's always possible to learn it, if you really want it.

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.

21/10/2025: Magnificent overnight stay in this magical place. An old cave transformed into a bedroom with a small alcove. The exterior facade is sublime. Comfortable bedding. High-quality amenities. Look carefully at the period photos to learn about the work carried out (7 years ago) and the living conditions of the local population at the time. Special mention to our host who spoke impeccable French. Bravo

18/08/2025: Top location, beautiful rooms in all categories (even the standard category, and the upscale categories as well), delicious and plentiful breakfast, and friendly and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

09/08/2025: Esperienza tremenda, arriviamo al ristorante e chiediamo gentilmente se fosse disponibile un tavolo da 8, a quel punto un cameriere ci risponde nella maniera più scortese possibile. Vi consiglio di evitarlo anche se dovesse essere l'unico aperto nel giro di chilometri.

08/08/2025: Acqua trasparente,lido molto curato e personale gentile e disponibile. Possibilità di pranzare con ottima cucina. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

22/04/2025: I booked for Easter and found myself in a wedding context. Arrived at 1pm and left at 7pm waiting for courses that arrived within an hour of each other. The fixed menu was not bad, but the agreed request for a fish menu was not satisfied. Being Easter I would have expected at least the dove.
