I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

03/01/2026: A welcoming place surrounded by nature, suitable for everyone from children to adults. The food is impeccable.

02/01/2026: Have a beautiful New Year's Eve ❤️

03/12/2025: Delicious ice cream and crepes. Highly recommended!

02/12/2025: Excellent artisanal gelato. Top-quality ingredients. Among the various flavors, I chose these: Metaponto strawberry and Lucanian pistachio from San Mauro Forte. The owner, whom I met by chance outside the shop, was very kind; I could have talked for hours. Nothing ordinary!

13/01/2026: Cozy atmosphere. Delicious food - every bite was a delight, especially the truffle tagliatelle. You can see how the chef prepares the dishes - admiration for the cleanliness in the kitchen. And the wonderful sweet girl from Morocco made our evening even more pleasant with a smile, perfect service and friendly attitude.

12/01/2026: Here, we came for the pasta. It was epic. Situated just near some of the main plaza and attractions is Kapunto. This is a modern restaurant I would say. I really liked the decor and all the cutlery and plate design. Very clean and great staff. There was a buzzing little atmosphere and the locals were chatting hard with staff which was great to see. I loved watching this. I found that the pasta course with some bread and a bottle of wine was a great meal - one would need to be hungry to manage two courses though I would say. The pasta here was just incredible and freshly made. You can see from the images how good this was made. The mushroom and tomatoe sauces we had were bith rich and flavourful. The wine was also a good choice. This is somewhere I would come back to if local and suggest travellers come and visit. Thank you for a great lunch.

05/01/2026: Legendary sandwiches! Excellent and varied food. We went for both lunch and dinner! Highly recommended. Kudos to the owner, Annamaria, and her husband!

01/01/2026: Phenomenal sandwiches!!! We ordered two coppa and caciocavallo impiccato sandwiches, and they were heavenly, warmed up in the oven and crunchy. The owners are very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I highly recommend it.

03/01/2026: Materia Prima Bistrot is strategically located in the heart of Matera, perfect for those seeking a central hub for an aperitivo. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, and the place immediately conveys a sense of comfort that invites you to sit back and relax after a stroll through the Sassi. We tried the classic Spritz, wine, and sparkling wines, which were all delicious, well-prepared, and the menu offered enough variety to satisfy a wide range of tastes. The snacks and appetizers are also varied and well-presented, with clear and detailed descriptions directly on the menu, ensuring complete transparency regarding what you're ordering. The sore point, however, is the prices of these accompaniments: despite everything being clearly labeled, the price-to-quantity ratio seems excessive in my opinion, with portions that leave a bitter taste in the mouth when the bill arrives. Overall, it was a positive experience for the location, atmosphere, and quality of the drinks, but the price of the appetizers weighed down the final rating and made the quality/quantity ratio less convincing. However, there are several aspects that are worth mentioning, especially for those looking for a pleasant aperitivo in a central area of ​​Matera.

28/10/2025: A little treat for the mouth: shortbread cookies with delicious cream, focaccia with tomato pesto and two sauces, it was absolutely delicious. The service was very pleasant, the music and atmosphere were great, you'll want to sit here 👌

20/10/2025: A fantastic family with passion and professionalism! Piero

28/09/2025: Everything very nice and good, highly recommended

16/11/2025: Very nice place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The dishes are varied and delicious—not spectacular, but good. I wish I could have given it 4.5 stars instead of 5 because I think the prices are excessive, but I've noticed that they've become so pretty much everywhere in Matera.

15/11/2025: Tierra is one of those places that stays in your heart. The restaurant is meticulously designed, with an atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. The staff is exceptionally kind, always attentive and smiling. Special thanks go to Roberta, who runs this wonderful restaurant with passion and professionalism along with her partner Domenico. Domenico's cuisine is simply out of this world: authentic, refined dishes prepared with a care rarely found elsewhere. We've visited many restaurants, but the quality and authenticity of the flavors found at Tierra are truly unique. Between this place and a Michelin-starred restaurant... honestly, I wouldn't notice the difference. An excellent experience in every way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable gastronomic journey in Matera.

19/10/2025: Beautiful reception hall, excellent food quality, courtesy and attention from the staff

28/09/2025: Excellent and beautiful. Recommended for weddings.

06/01/2026: We recently left the farmhouse....I think 5 stars are too few, they deserve 10!!! Mrs. Piera is an exceptional person in the way she carries out her work, attentive and available, she welcomes and meets all the needs of the customer with care and also her kind way of being makes her unique. Salvatore's cooking is excellent, he too is super attentive and very good... Exquisite cured meats and cheeses, like the jam of their production, the tomato puree... the first and second courses... truly everything is delicious! You experience a homely, relaxing atmosphere and then the place is surrounded by greenery, in true nature and the children have a wonderful experience. The rooms are welcoming and very clean... I could really go on forever because there are only positive words and thoughts. We will definitely be back, thanks Piera and greetings from Michele, Giulia and Leonardo

03/01/2026: Our second stay, for three nights, at this agriturismo immersed in greenery and tranquility. A sincere thank you to Piera and her husband Marco, her brother Salvatore, and their parents AnnaMaria and Nicola, who truly made us feel at home. A further thank you to Piera for her advice and helpfulness, who went out of her way to accommodate our requests and needs. Warm regards also to the lovely "Befana," "Pipa," and everyone we met during this pleasant stay, which included excellent breakfasts and a New Year's Eve lunch featuring local, zero-mile products.

07/01/2026: The food is good, the price is fair and the restaurant owners and service are very attentive.

02/01/2026: Delicious tagliata and paccheri, fast service, and excellent staff. I recommend!

06/01/2026: What can I say…the best orecchiette with turnip tops I've ever eaten.

04/01/2026: The food was excellent, the chef had refined ideas and the dishes were perfectly executed. The best fava beans and chicory in the area. Very fair value for money. Very nice location.

18/01/2026: We weren't able to order from this establishment because it was closing time when we passed by, but the courtesy and willingness shown in supporting us/tolerating us by waiting for us outside of opening hours for the Giant Bench stamp were enormous. ‼ ‼ ‼ Certainly poured into their daily work... ❗🏍❗🏍❗🏍 Thank you so much ‼👌🏼❗👍🏼❗

31/10/2025: Excellent lunch with local, zero-mile products

05/01/2026: Not a completely satisfying experience. Nice location in a great central location. The dishes were very well presented; the first courses were good, but the second courses lacked a bit of flavor, in our opinion. The service was certainly helpful but inattentive, due to only one person in the dining room serving all the guests.

04/01/2026: Refined dishes and quality raw materials

22/10/2025: A meticulously maintained setting in the heart of the Sassi di Matera. Authentic cuisine, with thoughtful reinterpretations that don't distort the essence of tradition. A top-notch wine list. And a special mention to all the staff, all extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

21/10/2025: Fabulous menu with quite a few seafood options. Atmosphere makes you feel at home. Excellent house red wine.

23/10/2025: Pasticiotto and super nun's head

18/10/2025: I ordered a Sacher cake as a birthday cake and it was absolutely amazing. Very light and very tasty!
