I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

29/12/2025: We had dinner for two last night (December 28, 2025) after finding the restaurant featured in the Slow Food guide. We had a great time: a wide selection of traditional dishes, generous portions, and friendly service. In particular, after I mentioned that my girlfriend is lactose intolerant, the waitress immediately suggested two small changes to the appetizer selection. The only downsides were the volume of the music and the €3 cover charge per person, which seemed a bit steep, but overall, a very positive experience.

28/12/2025: Great!!! What more do you want to add?!

01/01/2026: We stayed here to celebrate New Year's Eve. The rooms were very large and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and of high quality. We'll definitely be back. I highly recommend it.

23/12/2025: Best in the area. We usually come here for the meat, but this time we wanted to try a seafood menu for my parents' anniversary. Truly excellent, especially the octopus soup. Affordable prices. Well done!

15/01/2026: We were warmly welcomed at this restaurant, and immediately felt thoughtfully pampered. The menu is quite varied, though in my opinion it leans toward seafood, but as the website clearly shows, there's more. I started with the egg in yolk and found it very good and well-balanced. When the next course changed, they replaced my glass to avoid tainting the egg flavor—a rare touch in service. I continued with the cacio e pepe with red shrimp, and was also satisfied, though for my taste, the cacio e pepe would pair better with the tonnarelli. The freshness of the shrimp contrasts beautifully with the intense flavor of the cacio e pepe. The pasta is generous, but in addition to the standard portion, you can also purchase a larger portion that can be shared, and it's served in a striking stainless steel grater. For my second course, I chose a tuna steak, and again, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ingredients and the quantity. I happily concluded my experience with the warm apple, cinnamon, and walnut cake with crunchy ice cream. I also had the opportunity to try other dishes on the menu and can confirm that the quality of the ingredients is always very high, as is the respect shown in the dishes. Among my favorites: pot & tartare, the vegetable-sea fry, the seafood course, and the dragon's eye. The staff was always attentive and kind, table service was quite fast, and the atmosphere was quiet. The restrooms were always clean and well-stocked, as well as the very tidy open kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay, and I definitely recommend trying this experience.

08/09/2025: The sea 🌊 the 🌞 sun, tranquility, in a comfortable, clean, family-friendly environment and a golden sandy beach to enjoy the silence of the Lucanian land at an exceptional price/quality. It's a shame summer is over. We look forward to 2026. Great preparation by the owner Angelo 😇 and all his truly exceptional staff. The seaside restaurant 🌊 is also a gem worth trying and not to be missed.

07/09/2025: Wonderful beach. We stayed at the Oasi for a week in September and were welcomed and treated with courtesy and kindness. The staff were friendly and helpful, the prices were fair, the location was crystal-clear, the beach clean and well-maintained, and the restaurant served a limited but delicious menu! A 10/10 experience in Basilicata.
