I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

28/08/2025: Over time, the welcome has deteriorated; it almost seems like they're doing you a favor by having you dine. We arrived at 9:10 PM, in the middle of summer, and anyway, if it was late, they could have said so and we would have gone somewhere else.

26/08/2025: Regarding your review edit, I can say with certainty that the delay was only ten minutes. If we were late—we're talking 9:10 PM in the middle of summer—you could have told us and we would have gone elsewhere. We'll definitely be back and hope to find the same welcome we've always had in the past. Good luck.

09/10/2025: Good food... Great hospitality... Fantastic location

17/06/2025: Really great restaurant, we went to eat on a holiday. If you are looking for an authentic experience, with typical dishes in a welcoming and familiar environment, here the service is impeccable. A special thanks goes to the cook, a lady who, at the end of the meal, takes the time to come into the room to personally ask if everything went well — simply perfect!

23/08/2025: Atomic, phenomenal, fantastic value for money, beautiful view and nice atmosphere

18/08/2025: Everything was excellent. A beautiful place where we ate wonderfully on August 15th. The owners were wonderful.

26/06/2025: Every time I come back I am surprised by the atmosphere, the service, the owner's welcome but, above all, by the quality of the dishes offered. Highly recommended

09/04/2025: Con i miei amici gastronomi, abbiamo scelto la Locanda dell’Abate a Montescaglioso per un pranzo fuori porta. Siamo stati accolti con grande cordialità, e lo chef e titolare, il signor Giuseppe, ci ha guidati nella scelta dei vini per accompagnare l’esperienza. L’antipasto di mare ci ha conquistati con il tentacolo di polpo arrosto e le seppie cotte nel mezzo limone, sprigionando profumi delicati e un perfetto equilibrio tra tenerezza e acidità. Il legame con il territorio si è fatto sentire con la cipolla in agro. I ravioli di pesce, avvolti in una salsa di pomodoro leggermente acidula, hanno offerto un contrasto raffinato, mentre i gamberoni in crosta sono stati semplicemente eccellenti. L’atmosfera raccolta, grazie ai pochi tavoli in sala, ha reso la conversazione piacevole e conviviale. Concludiamo questa esperienza domenicale con un plauso allo chef Giuseppe per l’ottima organizzazione e la qualità delle portate. Torneremo presto!

13/10/2025: On delivery. The pasta was a little too salty for my taste...

07/10/2025: Hip place. Nice menu. We left our area to purposely eat at an authentic restaurant advertising “gluten free “ options readily available. I asked if she understood English & she confirmed yes Had a delicious charcuterie appetizer; then ordered a most interesting pasta dish with Gluten free penne. Confirmed. It was delicious. Waitress comes by for dessert order; tiramisu- I asked: is that gluten free too?!?!? Her answer: No, and your meal wasn’t either !!!’ BEWARE: although restaurant advertises Gluten free, the staff IS NOT WELL TRAINED to understand their customers or too rushed to listen carefully to what their non Italian speaking customers are saying. Owner very apologetic but way too late. The meal was ingested.😡

08/09/2025: A small place with very attentive and friendly staff and service. Excellent food and great prices. The Tricarico craft beer is a must-try.

22/08/2025: Maria Teresa is rude!! The food was too little. Maria Teresa is always snorting.

10/10/2025: Delicious and inviting products

11/09/2025: Small place but really excellent products

05/10/2025: Top-notch fine dining experience! Excellent food, superior service, beautiful atmosphere and spectacular views. Can't imagine a better evening in Matera.

04/10/2025: Very overpriced for what you get.

01/10/2025: I chose this pastry shop to make col6i based on the reviews, initially I was skeptical because I expected a better stocked counter but then the pastries convinced me, excellent, so much so that I had seconds!

30/08/2025: One of the best tiramisu ever tasted.

15/10/2025: Very nice little restaurant, the lemon spritz was very refreshing. The pizza was fabulous, and the bruschetta was our favorite! We tried a small slice of tart, which was also delicious. Very good service. If you're passing through Matera, this restaurant is worth a stop.

01/10/2025: Delicious food, featuring dishes that rediscover traditional cuisine, explained by the owner, a very knowledgeable and courteous gentleman. I recommend it to everyone, whether celiac or not. If you're passing through Matera, you can't miss it.

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.

09/10/2025: Had dinner here early Oct 2025. Solid place to eat. Staff friendly, good good (wifey and I shared a pizza and a chicken salad and did not get through all but they happily boxed the pizza for take away). Happy to recommend this place.

09/10/2025: Everything was superlative. Prompt service, tasty pizza, fair price. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

10/09/2025: Every now and then, you get lucky and find a quick lunch spot where you can find good food at a good price, served properly. Bravo!

24/08/2025: Cozy place with limited seating. Impeccable service. Superb food, truly, great quality. Highly recommended!

03/10/2025: Delicious food, very friendly service, good prices. What more could you want?…

25/08/2025: Amazing atmosphere and food. Great service. Tasty food. And glimpse into local life which is such a great view while eating food.

06/06/2025: Very nice restaurant with good food and very friendly service. A very warm welcome from the kitchen, good Prosecco, and a fantastic dessert (caramel cocoa tart)! We'd be happy to go back! The waiter made a real effort to speak Italian slowly, so we were able to understand him well despite our holiday Italian. So much more pleasant than being spoken to in English despite having limited Italian skills :)

05/06/2025: Atmospheric, delicious food and a very good sommelier. Are you here; make a reservation and have a nice dinner!
