I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

12/05/2026: A stay in a charming accommodation in a unique place in the world. Sleeping while imagining the lives of people in small spaces, raising their children and earning a living, makes you reflect. The accommodation is very comfortable, the bathroom is excellent, the breakfast is great, and the girls at reception give great tips. Suggestion: pack light, use a backpack (a wheeled suitcase here is crazy), comfortable shoes, and a hat is essential. If you come by car, leave it in the Via Saragat parking lot; it's covered, very affordable, and you can walk to the sassi or take a bus that drops you off very close.

28/04/2026: The bed was a bit hard for our preference, but staying in a cave is incredible and the experience will never be forgotten. There was a very large selection for breakfast and they catered to my gluten-free needs, upon prior request. They had fresh honeycomb and fresh homemade yogurt.

11/07/2026: The food was good but very simple. However, the waiter was disrespectful. As soon as we paid, he left without a thank you or goodbye. Don't go there; there are so many nicer places in Matera.

02/07/2026: Pleasant terrace, very friendly, kind and fast waiters

30/05/2026: It's the kind of place you call home, a place you can frequent at 16 or 50. Young and relaxed service, tasty food, and good beer.

16/07/2026: Tonino the owner is a legend, the pasta with beans and mussels is good, as is the cod... outdoor seating, book... otherwise you won't be able to eat. If you seem nice, then you'll have fun with him.

15/07/2026: This seaside restaurant is a must-try, a kiosk with a large veranda specializing in seafood. I recommend ordering the selection of hot and cold appetizers, the peppered mussels, and the fried mixed seafood. The portions are generous, and the service is basic but excellent. We'll be back to Tonino's to try the rest of the menu. Thank you.

31/07/2026: Everything was good, plentiful, and traditional. We spent a lovely evening in one of the most beautiful squares in Matera's historic center. The staff were helpful and friendly.

26/07/2026: I understand that perhaps we shouldn't have pushed the tables. If it caused any inconvenience, we apologize. However, your reaction was much more unpleasant than our action. We came to your beautiful country to have a good time, get to know your culture, and leave our money here. We didn't break anything, make noise, disturb other guests, or act disrespectfully. We just pushed the tables so that our group of friends could sit together. I wish you to travel more. Maybe visit Lithuania. You would see that in many places in the world, people first greet you with a smile, and only then politely explain the rules. Hospitality is what tourists remember most. In our eyes, pushing a few tables is the same "crime" as drinking a glass of Guinness halfway through the letter "G" - a completely insignificant trifle. A simple smile and a polite request to stop doing it again would be enough. And I think the owner of the restaurant, Francesco, would like his guests to leave with good memories of this place, not with the feeling that they are not welcome here. I hope that this is the kind of hospitality he strives to create. I wish you more smiles and good luck

03/03/2026: Superlative pizza, very delicious, excellent ingredients, very friendly and a perfect price-performance ratio.

29/08/2025: Excellent quality and choice in the variety of desserts.. Very kind, friendly and welcoming staff.. and above all excellent sandwiches they make in the evening.. I recommend trying both the sweet and savoury ones.

29/08/2025: Delicious desserts Super friendly, helpful, and helpful owners. Excellent value for money. RECOMMENDED

12/07/2026: Passing through Scansano Jonico, a stop for a sip of caffeine becomes a necessity, so we stop at the Caffetteria Baronale. After a couple of espressos, we're back on the road. Not every day is the same.

07/01/2026: Highly recommended, lunch on January 5th was excellent. I highly recommend it. They didn't give us a menu with prices, but we had no unpleasant surprises; the quality of the food and service was excellent for the price. Thanks to the owner for the orecchiette pasta made for our baby, they were truly delicious. The ravioli with creamed peppers were delicious, and the cod was delicious, with a very balanced flavor and fennel sauce. Go there, it's top-notch cuisine!

28/12/2025: I'd love to tell you how the food is, but we couldn't even get in...even though the place was completely empty, the owner was getting ready to smoke a cigarette, and the waiters were all folded...it was completely booked! You wouldn't think they have a welcoming attitude!

03/05/2026: Surrounded by nature, conveniently located for many beautiful places to visit, the cottages are meticulously maintained and fully equipped, and the restaurant is unique and characteristic, surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees. The owners are extremely kind and friendly, available for any need. A place that smells of goodness and peace, a place that will stay in your heart. We will return as soon as possible. Thank you for your hospitality.

17/04/2026: Small place, poorly arranged tables, portions too small for the price per person, poor personal service.

10/04/2026: Beautiful location surrounded by greenery Ideal for those who love nature. I can't rate the rooms; I only had lunch. The food was excellent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

04/01/2026: What a wonderful experience and what a warm welcome. We had the privilege of meeting Greg and Silvia and sharing a culinary experience with them, "experiencing" the beauty of learning to make homemade pasta (cavatelli and orecchiette) with a sauce we prepared in the kitchen, then enjoying it with an excellent sweet wine, olives, cheese, and strictly local cured meats. The owners' involvement was beyond friendly. We have so much beauty that deserves to be shared, known throughout Basilicata, Italy, and the world.

15/12/2025: Excellent quality pastries, an outdoor veranda for all-season dining, and attentive and professional staff. Highly recommended.

11/10/2025: Beautiful pastry shop and bar, fast service and very kind staff, spritz with many tastings, well done if you are in the area stop by, recommended

05/08/2026: Very nice service, delicious coffee
