I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

11/10/2025: Excellent pizza with a long tradition passed down from generation to generation. Professional service and a very pleasant atmosphere.

19/09/2025: Very good pizza 🍕, salad 🥗, and good dessert

21/10/2025: Nice place. Great service. Excellent dinner. What more could you want? Excellent wine too 🍷

21/10/2025: A very nice restaurant with excellent service. Prices are a bit higher (though still perfectly acceptable for Matera) – here you don't run the risk of paying a lot for food that doesn't taste good. We each had a very good pasta and meat dish, along with good wine.

26/10/2025: Terrible organization. We made a reservation by phone 15 days in advance for a Sunday lunch for 6 adults and 6 children. We arrived at Crepuscolo and the owner told us there was no reservation in my name, that perhaps I had chosen the wrong restaurant, and that there was no room. I showed him the calls I had made while speaking to his wife, and after speaking to his wife, he replied, telling me that his wife had told us there was no room. In short, they didn't know what to say and were making up excuses, telling us so many lies, even making us look like liars. Book elsewhere, avoid unpleasant surprises.

25/08/2025: We went to this wonderful location To take my friends to try some Lucanian food Very friendly staff They sat us outside in the cool, but there's plenty of seating inside The food was all delicious You won't eat until you burst, but it's good We'll definitely eat here again!

02/11/2025: Great bar, small and atmospheric. Opposite is a car charger - a great combination.

24/10/2025: Wild West atmosphere and a super friendly owner. Super welcoming Wild West-style pub! The warm atmosphere and attention to detail make it feel like you're walking into an Old West saloon 🤠 Excellent food, generous portions, and fantastic beer 🍺 The owner is a wonderful person: he even welcomed my dogs with affection, offering them fresh water and even some prosciutto 🐶💛 A wonderful place to stay, both for us and our four-legged friends. Highly recommended!

20/10/2025: There are experiences that go beyond simply "eating well." At Ristorante Vitantonio Lombardo in Matera, I experienced something truly extraordinary. The dish I will cherish forever is the risotto with truffle, salted caramel, and Amaro Lucano cream: a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and aromatic, an explosion of flavor that I would unhesitatingly call the best dish I've ever eaten in my life. Making everything even more special was Donato's kindness and impeccable attention in the dining room, making you feel like you were at the center of a complete sensory experience. Through the glass separating the kitchen from the dining room, I glimpsed a close-knit team, smiling, orderly, and impeccably clean: silence, precision, harmony—almost a dance that contributed to the truly magical atmosphere. The restaurant, carved into the Matera tuff rock, is an architectural spectacle: intimate, elegant, and authentic. Every detail exudes passion and respect for the land that hosts it. Donato's wine selection is an exciting journey through Basilicata and Europe, with perfect pairings that enhance each dish, showcasing the finest ingredients and creativity. An experience to be relived and re-lived many times in a lifetime, because in places like this, time stands still, and taste becomes pure emotion. We'll definitely be back!

04/10/2025: What a treasure in Matera. Beautiful delicious food, pretty setting, friendly and attentive service. Great value, too. Loved the wine pairings and the concept of being able to assemble your own tasting menu. Chef is in the kitchen himself. The Michelin star is well deserved.

21/09/2025: Great food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend the cantucci for dessert!

19/09/2025: Excellent food, al dente pasta with wonderful sauce, extremely well-seasoned veal

26/06/2025: Delicious pizzas at a reasonable price. To take away or eat at a table in the parking lot. No table service, but that was no problem for us. Very tasty! And well arranged like that

16/06/2025: The best carbonara we've ever had! We recommend it wholeheartedly!

23/09/2025: Excellent restaurant, quality food, friendly staff

06/09/2025: Excellent menu with both traditional and non-traditional dishes. Excellent appetizers and delicious first courses.

11/11/2025: Soul Kitchen, Matera A restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, in the heart of Matera. The panna cotta is nice - light, creamy... The only complaint is that the tip is already included in the bill and is quite high, regardless of the total amount of the order. The bill is 9.50, and the tip is 6 euros.

06/11/2025: Beautiful setting inside, amazing food and fantastic service!

27/10/2025: The restaurant is located in the busy Piazza del Sedile, and we stopped for dinner by chance. The somewhat retro style of the place might please some vintage fans. There were two of us and we ordered a pizza and a second course: the pizza arrived with only some of the requested ingredients, while the second course, listed on the menu as "roasted suckling pig with roast sugo" (roasted pork with roast sugo), consisted of two thin slices of pork with an unidentifiable sauce drizzled with balsamic vinegar (it all seemed to have been reheated in the microwave). After asking about the missing ingredients on the pizza, they were brought to us on a separate plate just after the meal was over. Furthermore, despite there being two of us dining, the dishes were brought to us 15 minutes apart, as they had to be eaten "separately" to prevent them from getting cold. Unfortunately, we don't recommend it.

19/10/2025: Very friendly, exquisite cuisine, and great prices. I highly recommend it. Alicia from Alicante (Spain)

03/05/2025: A place in the heart of Venosa that is a gem! The vast choice of wines, the refined food and the refined furnishings make it a truly unique place!

18/03/2025: One of the most beautiful wineries/enotecas you can find near Venosa. Must visit!!!

30/08/2025: We had lunch at the restaurant. The place is very cute. The food is very good and the service attentive, for very reasonable prices.

14/08/2025: Excellent place, friendly and very kind staff, 10 stars

02/11/2025: Excellent value for money. Recommended

01/11/2025: A set lunch menu for November 1st. Everything was excellent and plentiful, from appetizer to dessert. Local recipes and ingredients were cooked simply and deliciously. Highly recommended.

04/09/2025: One of the best gelatos I remember ever having, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I had it with a brioche, and it was absolutely delicious! If you're passing through, it's a must-stop!

02/09/2025: Hello, I'm thrilled to visit this elegant, renovated, family-run café. When I come to Lagonegro with my family, I love the gelato, which my children adore, as does my husband. New, innovative flavors reflect the creativity of the owner, Mr. Andrea, who is always friendly, personable, and cheerful, like his entire family. We have many cafés in Rome; in Lagonegro, a café in the city center is well-decorated, bright, and pleasant, and also offers excellent breakfasts with a variety of croissants. Excellent service, great atmosphere. 10/10

15/09/2025: Great value for money. The Frutti di Mare pizza and Frutti di Mare pasta were generously tossed. The food also came relatively quickly. I hope my tip goes to the friendly waiter, but I think the plate cleaner pocketed it himself. Overall, not the best tasting food, but great value for money.

14/09/2025: Great place. Came in by accident while passing by. The prices are more than affordable. Everything is sooo delicious.
