13/10/2025: Amazing gelato, the best in Matera!! It was so creamy and wasn’t too sweet for our Asian taste buds. We tried other flavours but our favourite is pistachio and chocolate! Their tiramisu is also absolutely delicious, highly recommend!

11/10/2025: Exceptional. Best gelato found during a ten day trip around Matera and Puglia. Can recommend the mango, the Croccante all'Amarena, and Magnificus.

19/09/2025: Delicious pies, cooked fresh in front of us. Very friendly service. A delicious vegan species-friendly request! A recommended address :)

15/09/2025: We've just arrived in Matera. It's lunchtime, and before entering the historic center, we found this little restaurant. They have a display of the different types of fresh pasta you can order. They're very friendly, and their food is fantastic. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: A stunning bistro in the beautiful little square of San Giovanni, aperitif with delicious dinner pampered by the extraordinary staff!

19/09/2025: A magnificent setting in the Sassi, a smiling, attentive, and warm staff... and delicious food from start to finish! Special mention goes to the carbonara, a real favorite, but the rest of the menu is just as tempting. Each dish exudes local tradition, with authentic and well-executed flavors. We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance on our first evening and enjoyed typical regional dishes. We loved it so much that we returned the next day for lunch—it's become our go-to restaurant during our stay in Matera. Excellent tiramisu, friendly atmosphere, impeccable service... A superb culinary discovery in a charming place! I recommend it without hesitation! 🍝✨

10/10/2025: I tried it for a business dinner and was thrilled by the kindness and professionalism of the staff, the elegant atmosphere, and the exceptional traditional dishes, thanks in part to the fact that the owner personally makes the pasta, including these unforgettable berry taralli! Extremely satisfied, I'll definitely be back. Thanks for everything, Marco

21/10/2025: We spent a lovely weekend at Pago. The atmosphere is very rustic and decidedly clean, with locally sourced cuisine using top-quality ingredients. We had the opportunity to dine and have breakfast on the property, and what can I say? All the ingredients were excellent, with generous breakfasts featuring yogurt, fruit, nuts, jams, and homemade desserts. Dinner also included a selection of simple and elaborate dishes, all unique and delicious. We also visited their farm several times, where my daughter was entertained by many new animal friends. It's conveniently located between Nova Siri, Rotondella, and Policoro. Definitely an experience worth repeating and highly recommended.

18/10/2025: We felt like royalty at the Il Pago farmhouse. We met Piera by chance, and she immediately became a friend, extremely helpful and professional, humane, and a good adviser on what to do in the area. She was a welcome I've never experienced before. She's an animal lover, and she made us feel at ease right away. We let our little girl play with the farm animals, and we met so many wonderful people, not to mention her brother, who is a whiz in the kitchen. We were so lucky to meet them and will definitely be visiting them again and again. Highly recommended.

03/09/2025: I was looking for a deli where I could get a decent meal at a reasonable price, and I found a place where we ate well at a fair price. Excellent selection of self-service dishes, with takeout and lunch options available in a small adjacent room or on the front patio. Located not far from the city center and easily accessible on foot.

08/08/2025: A place discovered by chance. The atmosphere was clean, and the self-service station exuded a sense of cleanliness. The space for eating was organized, and a delicious fish entree for just €6 was a dream in 2025. A good selection of dishes.

12/10/2025: Worst panna cotta of my life, and I’ve had a lot of panna cotta. I’ve also never been ignored for so long while sitting at the table. Left feeling incredibly dissatisfied despite a steak that was cooked perfectly.

12/10/2025: Don't be fooled by the number of reviews, like I was :) You don't have many options for food, I came specifically for the pasta. The place requires reservations, we went in without because there were only 2 of us, but it's not worth the wait or the disappointment of not having a seat. Overall, in my opinion it's a very overrated place. Popular doesn't mean good.

22/10/2025: Simple but good food. A bit expensive for what's served. I wouldn't recommend it.

20/10/2025: Excellent quality raw materials, excellent service.
