I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

15/12/2025: We stopped by by chance and truly found the best pizza in Matera. A welcoming place and high-quality ingredients. Extremely light and easy to digest. The pizza is truly 33 cm thick. The warm staff makes you feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the evening.

09/12/2025: Very good, excellent service. Everything perfect.

18/03/2026: Delicious food, friendly and professional staff, a little gem in the center of Matera. Highly recommended!!!

08/03/2026: The cuisine could definitely be improved. The desserts are forgettable.

14/11/2025: Very qualified staff, high-quality cuisine, everything delicious and the perfect location, I recommend it.

05/10/2025: Very good meal and very warm welcome

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.

27/08/2025: Ordered without a menu, big mistake, I took 2 first courses suggested by the waitress and when I asked to know how many portions there were she said one, I took a second course with two pieces of sausage, one sweet and one spicy, salad, a bottle of water, 1/4 white wine, dessert, paid 46.00 if I had ordered from the menu it would have been much less!

17/08/2025: Beautiful location! Pizza and dessert 🔝🔝🔝 The wait staff is always attentive, helpful, and kind! A special thanks to Mariagrazia, Anna, and Stefania! Well done and congratulations for everything 💯💯💯

09/03/2026: Excellent gluten-free lunch in the heart of Matera. We tried the carbonara classica. It was creamy, rich, with crispy guanciale and pecorino. Added a consommé di pescato full of flavor, and finished with a chocolate fondant topped with crushed nuts, served on a slate board. All dishes were very tasty. Warm and welcoming atmosphere with cozy Italian décor and a nice wine selection; tried a local red wine similar to Primitivo. The service felt genuinely caring, like a friendly family business. Most of the menu is available gluten-free, cooked on a separate cooking line in the kitchen.

04/03/2026: I was a guest of a group at this place for the first time. Excellent food and a family atmosphere.

28/12/2025: While visiting the town of Tricarico, we decided to book a table at this restaurant, ideal for both aperitifs and long lunches and dinners. The professional service matches the expertly prepared dishes served. There's a strong focus on regional recipes and local products; the area is renowned for its cured meats. Congratulations on your decision to serve your guests so well.

27/12/2025: Excellent first courses, unique and beautifully plated, and a well-balanced Aglianico wine. All at a very fair price. An experience worth repeating.

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

17/02/2026: Sunday, February 15. Beautiful, typical local restaurant. Large dining room, perhaps too crowded, very noisy. The fireplace gave off a pungent smoky smell, but the owner managed to fix it. The dishes were delicious, from appetizers to first courses. One complaint was that the cruski peppers were cold and rubbery, sticking to your teeth. The wait was long, 40 minutes. The sausage between the first and second courses was too salty, but the salad was good. For dessert... the Carnival chiacchiere were rubbery and I think they were fried in lard. Kudos to the waiters, who were excellent and quick, and listened to requests and fulfilled them. A 10 out of 10 for the waiters.

06/01/2026: Even more welcoming after the recent renovation

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

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

15/02/2026: Excellent food, unique dishes, and a very elegant and beautiful venue. The pizza is also good. We'll be back.

08/02/2026: Came for a nice dinner at 8pm and we were met outside by a nice waiter with a wonderful mustache! He brought us inside and we were given a nice table for 2. Amazing cave-like atmosphere. We had 3 people taking care of us. A beautiful lady (could be owner) explained the wines and we order a nice dry red from her recommendation. Another waiter opened and poured our vino and it was perfect. Then our mustached friend took our order. Started with a nice buffalo margarita pizza - cooked to perfection and delicious! Main course - papparadelle (a bit more narrow than usual) ai fungi porcini- amazing and tasty!!! Also had chittarra ai ricci spaghetti (square) with fresh clams and a sauce that was out of this world!! Finished off with a nice pistachio gelato! All in all a first class A-rated experience!! Molte Bene!! Gratzie!!!!!

08/03/2026: The cafe in Matera had a great local atmosphere. The atmosphere was very pleasant, authentic and we felt very comfortable there. The coffee was excellent and the service was nice and helpful. It is an ideal place to take a short break and enjoy the real Italian atmosphere. I definitely recommend visiting.

06/03/2026: Highly recommended! Very good quality traditional food, very friendly and competent staff, generous portions, and reasonable prices.

17/02/2026: We celebrated my son's communion and everything was really good. In fact, we have been there many times and we have always been served properly and the dishes were delicious.

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.

05/01/2026: We ate a delicious legume soup!!!

30/11/2025: If you want a croissant, you have to go to Carlucci's. They offer pistachio, Nutella, cream, cream and black cherry, and more. They also offer delicious gelato, and you should definitely try their pastries. For mid-morning, try the croissant with cream...top
