I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Matera

14/08/2025: I went there to celebrate my birthday. I really liked the food, the service and the atmosphere. Everything was good. Everything was beautiful and nothing was dirty.

05/01/2026: MAGICAL ATMOSPHERE I went to this restaurant to celebrate New Year's Eve with my partner and friends. I must say it was a wonderful experience: the venue was very elegant, the staff were polite and friendly, and the food was well-cooked and carefully presented on the plate. It's definitely a high-end restaurant, so I'd suggest white gloves for the waiters to further enhance its luxury, and I'd suggest playing some background music during dinner. But these are just suggestions; honestly, I have no complaints, and I'll gladly return.

23/10/2025: Food is indeed interesting, some meals were not my cup of tea but a nice experience. Getting the bill took quite some time. They had a problem and apparently had to write everything by hand, didn’t receive a real bill. Strange is that they made a mistake with the bill and they “calculated” the amount with 28€ more on top. I usually never check but decided to do this time. Keep this in mind and check your bill when you go there.

04/01/2026: Excellent place and excellent pizza, the waiters are very helpful

24/08/2025: I can only recommend this pizza to everyone 👍

11/11/2025: Buona pizza e ambiente molto familiare

17/02/2026: My partner and I spent a couple of nights here while visiting Matera. The property is family-run and staffed by kind and professional people, who also provided us with useful information about visiting the city. The room was well-appointed with a desk and refrigerator. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and we could easily adjust the temperature (we didn't experience any problems with cold, humidity, or mold, as I've read in other reviews). The breakfast (we requested vegan breakfast in advance) was delicious, and we also appreciated the variety of organic products. I recommend it both for its location in the center of the Sassi of Matera and because the experience of sleeping in a cave is a must!

21/01/2026: The rooms are quaint and typical of the area. Each room tells a story of who once lived there. For those who are used to it, there's no TV in these rooms—at least mine! Which makes everything more authentic.

08/02/2026: Excellent pizza; fair prices, very quick service, recommended!

16/02/2026: Very nice, charming rooms with classic furnishings. Breakfast was excellent, offering everything from savory to sweet. The desserts were made entirely by the owner, who was also incredibly kind. What can I say? A wonderful experience!

06/01/2026: We stayed over New Year's Eve. Everything was very quaint, the room was wonderful, inside a beautifully furnished stone building. We had a wonderful time, from the welcome to the comfort of the building, with a dream view as soon as you step out of the room. Highly recommended.

09/02/2026: If you like good thin-crust pizzas made in the traditional way with love, this is the place. I recommend it 100%.

24/09/2025: Three dinners, each one better than the last. Fabulous cruschi. Divine swordfish. Very kind staff.

12/02/2026: Words are unnecessary. The puccia di Pummarola is to me what the Madeleine was to Proust.

19/10/2025: Excellent value for money, the service is fast and friendly.

14/12/2025: We had a good time, the staff was friendly and the food was excellent. I recommend it.

26/09/2025: The food was INSANELY good, the ragu and black truffle pastas were near perfection, the L’Imperatore red wine stellar and the Rum Babe desert deserves a prize. Also the staff was so lovely

03/03/2026: Warm and welcoming atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff, especially Mr. Luciano, a true host. The food is authentic and tasty; I recommend the pasta with fresh sauce (a real treat). I can't wait to go back!

03/03/2026: They greeted us right away with a smile and a truly unique welcome! I felt truly at ease, and the food was excellent. We can't wait to return to try more of their delicious dishes (we even came all the way from Puglia specifically to try the pasta with fresh sauce—highly recommended). Thank you so much, you were truly kind! The location is truly stunning, with a breathtaking view outside. See you soon!

04/01/2026: Really a great pizza and appetizer.

04/01/2026: Beautiful place, welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and great music, very friendly staff, it feels like home.

18/02/2026: Very welcoming place. Quality service. Excellent food. The owner, Onofrio, is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes and wines.

14/02/2026: I tried this restaurant in January 2025 and unfortunately, I was served a "crapiata" that tasted decidedly sour, probably because the dish was old and stored without due care. Both the dining room and the kitchen apologized, so dinner continued without incident, even though there was every reason to leave. After more than a year, finding myself in Matera for business, I wanted to give it a second chance, but unfortunately, things got worse. I encountered arrogance and rudeness in the dining room, so much so that I left the restaurant feeling very disappointed and with my evening ruined. By the way, the sofas are uncomfortable because they're too low, even for me, who am over 1.80 meters tall. Parking is clearly impossible. I will definitely return to Matera but will absolutely avoid this restaurant.

13/01/2026: A welcoming and family-friendly residence, clean rooms and facilities, and a secluded and quiet location. The breakfast buffet was truly inviting, plentiful, and varied. Excellent!

14/11/2025: Despite having booked and paid in advance for a room with a garden and breakfast, upon arrival I was asked to pay for a room at the back of a parking lot. Fortunately, we were able to get a refund, but this place is not reliable.
