I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

30/12/2024: After the visit to the living nativity scene, since it was dinner time, we found ourselves in front of the pizzeria and went in, the welcoming and kind owners made us sit down, we took the pizza menu which included an appetizer with cold cuts and cheeses, a pizza, a drink, sweet or coffee at €18 everything was excellent

23/12/2024: Extremely positive experience! Fantastic food, unbeatable price (the fixed menu for €18.00 is incredible for what it offers: appetizer, first course of your choice, dessert with drink/wine included!), really kind staff and excellent service, especially the super kind and proactive waiter! The portions are super abundant and above all delicious, I highly recommend it!

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!

09/09/2025: A truly impressive location, but I don't think it's for everyone. I was really satisfied because I didn't have any great expectations; I just wanted a nice location. And you definitely get that; you're sitting right in the cave. But for people who expect something different, it's rather difficult and a surprising concept. There's no waiter; you order your food at the front counter and receive a device that beeps when the food is ready. You get your food and drinks yourself and are also responsible for clearing up. The food is also served on paper plates. I thought the food was really delicious; unfortunately, my father's steak wasn't quite as good, but you really can't expect much other than the location. I think if you know what to expect, it's a really nice restaurant with a good location, but if you're looking for something more fancy, it's not for you.

06/09/2025: A special and beautiful experience in a place located in a real cave, to be repeated in the historic center of Matera. The food is good and not served. The peculiarity is that there is no table service but you serve yourself at the counter when they call you. Everything is good, you can't help but come here to eat. Highly recommended.

12/09/2025: EXCELLENT gluten-free pizza, and my friends said the classic one was excellent too!!! Friendly and helpful waiters, quick service despite the place being busy, and the price was fair for what we ate. Highly recommended!!!!!

11/09/2025: I was visiting Matera a few days ago and was recommended this pizzeria. Well...great advice, super good pizza, nice toppings and large...with the option to choose the crust...soft, thin, crispy, etc. Fast service and very fair prices. Excellent product quality. Both tasty and classic pizzas...I recommend it 👌

08/09/2025: Good, easy-to-digest pizza. Very friendly staff.

27/08/2025: Pizza and peperoni cruschi are really excellent!

19/07/2025: Mozzarella, ricotta, caciocavallo, and so on...made right in the dairy. Excellent focaccia and many other local delicacies. I haven't tried everything, but I assure you, the ingredients are top-quality. A must-try if you're in Bernalda. Fairly priced.

05/05/2025: The il Mastello dairy is the TOP in terms of product quality and kindness! Try it to believe it!

02/09/2025: I didn't enjoy their focaccia this year due to gastritis. But for those who can, this bakery is a must-visit.

21/08/2025: Excellent artisan bakery that makes exceptional focaccia. The onion one is spectacular, with a nice filling. Friendly service and old-fashioned prices; the four of us spent about €10 for lunch, or €2.50 each. A great option for buying lunch and then heading to the beach.

02/09/2025: We dine at Morgan in Matera, or an extremely warm welcome was reserved, a careful team has advised and served. The quality of the meal was beyond our expectations, we spent a great time out of time, in a beautiful decor. Thank you to the whole team

31/08/2025: Excellent food! Very tasty pasta with truffle and perfectly cooked talliata! The waiters were very kind and helpful! Thank you very much!

20/08/2025: In the picturesque setting of Montescaglioso, the Gallitelli butcher shop stands out for its vast selection of meats, especially its horsemeat. The carefully prepared meats, both for takeout and for dining in, are grilled and top-quality. The spacious interior and outdoor space accommodate large banquets. Highly recommended.

19/08/2025: Passing through Montescaglioso with friends, we stopped for dinner at this beautiful butcher's shop, which transforms into a grill in the evening. We sampled scottona beef, horse meat, and bombette (bombette) both regular and spicy, as well as Mexican. Homemade fries and a mouth-watering carpaccio with arugula, parmesan, and lemon. All washed down with beer and excellent local red wine. Everything was truly delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and attentive to their customers' needs. We'll definitely be back.

25/07/2025: An absolutely wonderful experience – it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. We stayed here for 2 nights in July for summer holiday, and were completely enchanted by the surroundings. The cozy farmhouse overlooks endless wheat fields, which had just been harvested when we arrived. The golden landscape stretched out to the horizon – peaceful, dreamy, and simply stunning. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast, beautifully presented and full of variety. It was the perfect start to the day, enjoyed in a calm and charming countryside setting. The host was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They gave us great recommendations for hidden gems around Matera that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Everything about this place brought a sense of peace and warmth – the kind of countryside experience we absolutely love and will never forget.

20/06/2025: Un très bel endroit au milieu de la campagne du Basilicate et à quelques kilomètres de Matera. Accueil parfait, et en français. Une chambre très confortable et le lendemain, un petit déjeuner superbe, avec les produits de la ferme et venant aussi des alentours. À recommander absolument

24/07/2025: Super friendly welcome, very good service but flavorless pizzas. Too bad.

09/07/2025: Very nice home-cooked food 1 minute from the historic center, run by a lovely local couple.

14/08/2025: Everything is genuine, from the starters to the dessert. Excellent service, very kind owners, it's like being among family, soppressata and local sausage, roast goat or lamb and sausage, we'll come back often.

02/08/2025: Posto appena fuori dal paese...accogliente e familiare. Siamo stati a pranzo, degustando antipasti fantastici, primi da leccarsi i baffi...e secondi di carne e di pesce squisiti. Posto consigliatissimo....

12/03/2025: Very particular location and well looked after... Happened for a wedding dinner, I was able to appreciate the originality of this long For the food and service which were excessive and excellent, we must thank the spouses for the excellent choice of the menu. I don't know if they are renovating

19/04/2025: This is undoubtedly the best rotisserie in Policoro and beyond. The quality of the products is very high. The prices are slightly higher than average, but absolutely justified by the quality and care with which they are made. A special applause for the scrocchiarelle, truly irresistible! I would only suggest taking care of the external appearance of the place. See you soon

17/01/2025: Truly delicious pizza and scrocchiarella...crispy and light dough...and really well seasoned

26/07/2025: We've only used the restaurant on three occasions and found the quality and service excellent. Highly recommended. Renato

26/07/2025: Everything was beautiful, the staff were friendly and prepared and willing to give their contribution to make sure you have a great holiday.
