I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

02/01/2026: A quick but delicious lunch. A simple and welcoming place with a pizza oven and plenty of Matera bread on display. We had the fava bean and chicory cream and the pignatella...exceptional! The lamb was incredibly tender and had a unique flavor with the vegetables and caciocavallo cheese. No. 1. Average prices and quick service with friendly staff.

31/12/2025: The courtesy and quality of the dishes served are the strong points of this place. Try the pignata with mutton, truly excellent.

11/01/2026: Everything was perfect. We chose the tasting menu and it was all very good. The wait staff was courteous and professional. I highly recommend a stop during a weekend in Matera.

06/01/2026: Excellent orecchiette, fast and attentive service. The price is ok.

11/01/2026: The only downside: it seemed a bit pricey! Anyway, the food and service were top-notch!

06/01/2026: While passing through Matera, we were recommended this traditional restaurant located at the entrance to the famous Sassi. We couldn't have made a better choice. The friendly staff made you feel like family. We had dinner with some truly delicious traditional Matera dishes. Eustachio made excellent recommendations from the menu, and Linda, the chef, is a true Chef with a capital C, as well as being incredibly friendly. Definitely worth a try! Greetings from Marche and Sicily. ❤️

05/01/2026: Soul Kitchen was a wonderful discovery for dinner in Matera, in a warm and elegant setting where you immediately feel welcomed. We ate from appetizers to first courses to main courses, and every course was a delight: rich flavors, well-executed preparations, and a consistently high quality throughout the meal. The value for money is also excellent, with prices absolutely reasonable for the area and the type of food offered. Special mention goes to the staff, who were kind and courteous throughout the evening, attentive but never intrusive, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable place to eat well and enjoy a carefree evening, this is a place to keep in mind.

05/01/2026: Extremely tasty place! Definitely the most delicious place in Matera! The quality /quantitiy ratio is absolutely perfect. The sandwiches are huge - keep this in mind if you are not very hungry and consider splitting it with someone as it would be a crime to throw even the leftovers of this food. You can tell that every ingredient is traditional and fresh. Combine the sandwich with a glass of Prosecco and you have “Heaven!”! The service is perfect, too! ❤️ The place is definitely worth visiting! 😊

30/12/2025: It was soooooooo goood!!! Burrata🤤🤤🤤 the picture doesn’t do justice, you just have to go and try it❤️ thank you for the lovely dish❤️ 幸せ✨

05/01/2026: Excellent bakery in Matera, also open on Sundays. Very welcoming staff and delicious products. We tried the bread and the "scorsette materane" (a real treat, especially the orange one). Highly recommended!

22/11/2025: Delicious sweets, nice service.

29/12/2025: A typical Lucanian restaurant serving traditional dishes in the beautiful city of Matera. The waiters were incredibly friendly, and we asked them for wine and food recommendations. Excellent dishes, highly recommended! One detail we noticed was that the menu wasn't very extensive, as the ingredients were repetitive across the side dishes, first courses, and second courses.

27/12/2025: Good food, good service—just as good as it gets. The cheese platter was excellent! The steak was smooth as cream, and all the food was perfect. Unreal value for such great food. I would love to come again!"

03/01/2026: A restaurant located just outside Matera, perfect for an evening with friends. We visited as a group and tried several options: the meat was truly excellent, top-quality, and cooked to perfection. The pizza was also very good, as were the pasta dishes, which were tasty and well-prepared. The service was friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. A place definitely worth a visit, we highly recommend it.

25/12/2025: Friendly staff, prompt and professional service, compliments to the chef and kitchen staff, a wonderful experience for the palate. I will definitely be back.

28/01/2026: €10 soup, tasteless. Just water, olive oil, and vegetables. The worst soup I've ever eaten.

28/01/2026: I had a mozzarella sandwich and spinach soup. The sandwich was okay, but the soup wasn't the most pleasant experience. It was just water and spinach, hard to swallow.

03/01/2026: Very friendly and very good meat

29/11/2025: Everything was good, we've been back several times. The staff was really friendly.

18/01/2026: We attended a tasting to sample the food from my son's wedding reception. The reception hall is large and spacious, and it's comfortable. I recommend the owners find some acoustical solutions to dampen the reverberation of the chatter of two hundred people. The tastings went very well and gave us good advice on the menu choices. The staff was friendly and professional.

18/12/2025: Business lunch. Everything was perfect! Highly recommended.

27/12/2025: We came to visit Matera and were looking for a place to stop for lunch. We couldn't have chosen a better place; we opted for seafood. They were truly excellent. The quality-price ratio is unbeatable. Highly recommended.

25/11/2025: Today at lunch, I saw all the positive reviews that inspired me to try this restaurant. I can say that the quality of the ingredients and the preparation are truly excellent. We had two portions of cardoon pie, one parmigiana, and one fried artichoke, along with three bottles of water for €24. The dining room is welcoming and clean. You can use the restroom. Highly recommended.

13/12/2025: I recommend it, the staff is kind and friendly, I would add quality and price 👏

09/12/2025: EXCELLENT FOOD AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. THE AMBIENCE IS WARM AND WELCOMING. I RECOMMEND IT FOR A SIMPLE PIZZA WITH FRIENDS OR FOR EVENTS.

14/11/2025: I've known the restaurant for a while now and I highly recommend it. The location is perfect.

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.

06/10/2025: A wonderful experience, characterized by excellent home cooking and a genuinely family welcome.

06/10/2025: I visited this place with a group of photographers. It's a beautiful place. The owners are very kind and friendly; it's like being guests in a private home. Excellent value for money. See you next time.
