I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

18/03/2025: We had a simple coffee, quite good. But 1 euro per person for the cover charge is really too much. For having served an espresso, accompanied by two glasses of hot water. We spent 5 euros for two espressos. (1.50 each) Reading the menu the prices were really high. I understand that it is in the Sassi, but trying to raise the prices for the average tourist, then loses customers in the area who only want to consume a coffee. At least I would have liked to know how much the cover charge was before sitting down. At least I would have chosen to consume it at the counter. For the rest good coffee and kind owner.

16/03/2025: The place is very nice, well located in the center of Matera and the food is good. It’s just sad that it takes 30 min to get a take away sandwich I recommend this place if you’re ok waiting a long long time before getting served

06/10/2024: The pastries are good, especially the dessert from Maratea, a historic bar

31/08/2024: Stop for a sandwich and a salad. The salad was advertised with an inviting photo and the description said that there was Maratea mozzarella, tomatoes and typical frisella... the waitress specified that they would add onions, olives, corn and carrots. The dish brought was meager and contained half a base of iceberg lettuce with a few slices of cucumbers and carrots, a few grains of corn, very few pieces of tomato, three (I mean literally three) small pieces of mozzarella and three or 4 fillets of onion and in the the other half a small frisella. The whole thing cost 8 euros, I think their investment was maybe 3/4 euros. The sandwich was also understuffed. Total cost with a small bottle of water 17 euros. I understand having a margin, but this seems too much to me. Not recommended.

15/09/2024: Cold cannelloni reheated in the microwave I advise against 😡

19/08/2024: We wanted to have lunch. But : - Very very long waiting time. In 45 minutes, we only had water and a coke, even though the restaurant was not full. The table next to us was served in 50 minutes, with only salmon and avocado toast, with dry bread. - Poor hygiene. The restaurant is not clean: lots of flies on the terrace (which has obviously never been cleaned), dirty toilets that do not close. - Tourist traps. The restaurant charges €1 for table service and €2 for cover per person. We do not recommend, although the setting is magnificent…
