I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Basilicata

08/05/2026: The food was truly excellent and remarkably affordable. The kitchen definitely deserves praise. However, my first impression of the service was somewhat negative. I arrived at the restaurant promptly at 7 p.m., just as it opened. The waitress was eating, got up rather reluctantly, brought me the menu, and then continued eating next to me without any qualms. After that, I was completely ignored for about ten minutes – not even an offer of a drink was made during that time. In addition, a television was playing a loud Italian entertainment program in the otherwise empty restaurant, apparently mainly for the staff's benefit. Only after I complained did they turn the volume down. Overall, the service felt more listless than welcoming. It's a shame, because the food itself was truly excellent and deserved a much better overall experience.

23/02/2026: Beautiful location, both outside and inside, very clean and well-organized (including the bathroom). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The view from the windows is spectacular. We had lunch on Sunday, six adults and six children. Various starters and main courses were all delicious and tasty. The entrecote with porcini mushrooms was particularly good, especially the medium-cooked steak, cooked to perfection. The service was very fast, and the prices are very competitive compared to my area in Puglia. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

23/05/2026: Very disappointing experience. The room was extremely damp and humid, to the point where the environment felt unhealthy and uncomfortable to sleep in. The situation became even worse at checkout, when the staff refused to provide an invoice. We had to argue for a long time before receiving a handwritten document. The staff was rude and confrontational instead of trying to solve the issue professionally. I would not recommend this property.

20/03/2026: In my opinion, the points in its favor are: the breakfast (excellent and plentiful), the location (not too crowded and not far from the main streets and squares), the friendliness and kindness of the owner.

03/07/2026: Welcoming atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff, excellent food, beautiful location among the stones

27/06/2026: A friend recommended the restaurant to us. Honestly, we ate well and paid a fair price. Excellent service. I also recommend it because it's located among the Sassi of Matera. What more can I say?

07/05/2026: A very positive experience. Finally, a piadineria unlike any other, where, in addition to speed, there's also attention to flavors and combinations. The piadinas are well-filled, freshly prepared, and truly flavorful, with ingredients that make all the difference. The atmosphere is casual yet pleasant, ideal for a lunch stop or an evening snack while exploring the center of Matera. I especially appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the care taken in preparing each order. Satisfying portions, reasonable prices, and superior quality compared to many other similar establishments. A place that leaves a good impression and is worth a try.

12/04/2026: Highly recommended! Delicious food, very friendly and helpful waiters, and a central location.

28/11/2025: Despite the closure they served us very well

04/11/2025: Dinner with my wife, fantastic seafood scialatielli, definitely the best I've ever had. The pizza was also excellent, while my wife had sole and, according to her, was satisfied. The house white wine was decent and well-suited to the seafood. The service was informal but not intrusive. If you arrive early or, better yet, make a reservation, you can dine on the terrace. The price was more than fair. I can't rate the hotel as I only had dinner there, but I can say that the hotel guests who were there for dinner seemed satisfied.

12/03/2026: A place that presents itself as a temple to local products, but which, in reality, turns out to be little more than a trattoria with Michelin-starred prices and decidedly average quality. The most emblematic moment? When asking for a little spicy food, after much rhetoric about local ingredients, a small industrial-strength supermarket bottle produced in another region appears on the table. If this is how local products are promoted...

02/01/2026: Nice, cozy place, delicious food, friendly staff 😊.

08/05/2026: Damn delicious pizza!! Highly recommended! 🤤

28/02/2026: Delicious pizza, which I order whenever I can. It's lovely to look out over the sea while sipping a glass of wine. The owner is kind and professional.

29/04/2026: Poor quality food. Don't eat there. I ordered lasagna and it only had tomato sauce and cheese, no meat.

19/04/2026: Very small portions - main dish looked liked an appetizer. Everything was in general tasteless but very salty. Food was lukewarm and most probably not freshly prepared but just reheated. Very nice location but the food was disappointing
