I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

24/04/2025: Enchanting location both externally and internally. Delicious Mise en Place. Mainly meat-based menu. Very tasty dishes. Friendly maitre. It's a shame about the cold service of the waitress in charge of ordering who was cold and unwelcoming despite the few tables and the time (just 9pm). Not a smile. In general I didn't feel pampered and welcomed as I should be in a restaurant of a certain level. Aspect to be improved because of an inelegant attitude.

04/01/2025: Posto eccezionale. Il Sign. Angelo ci ha permesso di assaporare i sapori più autentici della cucina lucana: un antipasto di verdure buonissimo (aglio marinato davvero delizioso), capriata e polpette gustosissime; tutto accompagnato da un ottimo aglianico dop. A conclusione della cena abbiamo assaggiato un gelato buono e originale. Il servizio è stato efficiente e cordiale (la sig.ra Imperia è gentile, solare e precisa). Che dire poi di Angelo: divertente, attento, appassionato. Si capisce dal primo istante che ama quello che fa e ama accogliere chi si siede a tavola. Ci ha deliziato con i piatti della tradizione e ci ha fatto sorridere in modo vero e pieno. Lasciamo Matera con gioia. Grazie davvero! Decisamente consigliato!

03/11/2024: Fantastic discovery to say the least! We were in the village for a short stay, fantastic welcome, everyone was super kind and friendly, food beyond expectations! Small tip, try all the starters, they are exceptional, the first course with crusco pepper is delicious. If we are passing through or in the surrounding area, Il Caminetto will be our fixed stop! Compliments

02/11/2024: We were greeted with a kindness and attention that is now difficult to encounter. Exquisite dinner, fresh products as if we were eating at home😊 We will definitely be back!

08/05/2025: Quiet place to have coffee or a quick bite to eat

06/05/2025: Meal on 28/04 for lunch very good trattoria with beautiful terrace overlooking the old town family cooking we enjoyed the tagliolini with truffle and the entrecôte di manzo and of course the tiramisus

16/04/2025: Su indicazioni di una guida locale abbiamo provato questo locale in centro matera e siamo stati molto soddisfatti.cibo molto buono ,personale cordiale ambiente caratteristico dei sassi.consiglio l antipasto boboom e strepitoso

04/03/2025: presi due menù della serata a prezzo fisso, di cui un menù vegano. Cibi tradizionali lucani, veramente buoni ad un prezzo basso. Da provare!

06/11/2024: I ate a hamburger sandwich and it was delicious

01/04/2025: I had dinner with friends on March 27, 2025, everything was delicious from the appetizer to the fruit, not only in the home-made preparation of the food but above all in the excellent and genuine quality of the products (typically local). Excellent service, friendly staff and a welcoming place. In short, if you love eating well, visit Cirigliano, a characteristic village in the province of Matera and stop to eat at the "Il Mulino" restaurant

16/01/2025: I would like to thank the owners of this restaurant for their hospitality. Excellent cuisine, combined with the friendliness of Mr. Vincenzo and Mrs. to. Frank. I really felt at home. Thank you.

30/12/2024: The worst experience in my 4 years living in Italy. The restaurant does not accept criticism of its food, and its staff instantly becomes aggressive and defensive. We simply mentioned that the portion was small (it costs 14 euros a plate) and the waiters and the cook started arguing and fighting with us. The food is expensive and the portions are ridiculously small. The service is a disaster: it took them 45 minutes to bring us the drinks, they charge you for the cutlery and they don't bring you bread and they served us one plate at a time, even though there were 5 people at the table. The staff are rude and aggressive and treated us like annoying tourists. The two young waiters, a boy and a girl, were especially hostile and defensive from the beginning. Even though we did not raise our voices, they behaved aggressively and defiantly. The situation became even more serious when the cook came out of the kitchen and yelled at us in front of the entire restaurant, wanting to fight. We even heard them speaking Italian to each other, as if they didn't understand that we could understand what they were saying about us. These people ruined our day and it's a shame that a place like this is ruining the image of Italian hospitality.

27/12/2024: This store is not the same store as before, and the name is different.

12/03/2025: Le migliori pizze, mattonelle e pucce di Matera. È necessario prenotare!

15/02/2025: Excellent from all points of view.

18/02/2025: First of all, the pizza was excellent both in terms of ingredients and cooking. Furthermore, the service was efficient.

17/09/2024: Quiet and intimate place. Very kind John. Excellent service. Excellent value for money

25/04/2025: You can find the best panzerotti in Matera here...excellent food, excellent quality, honest price, perhaps the only ones found so far in Matera

09/04/2025: One of the most famous panzerotto places in Matera. Fairly large panzerotti, with a lot of filling inside. The environment is a bit spartan but that's fine. Approved.

27/10/2024: Don't know if we went to Cristally di Zucchero or la Bruschetta, I rate both. The pucce were excellent. Price performance service top.

30/09/2024: Great food and service! The glasses of wine are very generous ;) Highly recommend!

12/05/2025: In my whole life I never got such an insolent service when eating out!!!! We started with the waiter telling us what we want to eat without any welcoming intro or giving us a menu!!!! When he came back for the order he told us it's better to have the same option to eat so we can eat quicker. We did the order and three of us took pasta, one of us a different option. The waiter told us better agree on the same pasta to have as we will wait for an hour to have our plate!!!! Never did I hear a waiter saying this and I never expected this at all!!! How absurd!!! We did order the same pasta as we were told but then realised that the other clients were having different pasta at the same time as us so the cook still had to cook different pasta!!! We asked for the wine list and the waiter replied choose any wine bottle you see around you, oh dear!!!! One of us told him, we prefer white wine so it'd be better not around us but refrigerated to which he told us to go and choose from the cooler!!! With all this absurdity we were served our pasta plates more than an hour later!!! Then finishing off with the bill. The waiter scribbled it down on a piece of paper and threw it away as soon as we paid, I never got to know if the bill was right. I was so taken aback with all this having an urge to get out of there that it was after that I realized!!!

03/05/2025: Excellent raw materials and impeccably cooked, each dish is a discovery with fish at its centre. Truly remarkable selection of appetizers and raw meats. The cellar is exceptional. I recommend it!!!!!!!!
