16/03/2025: We spent three wonderful days in this farmhouse surrounded by nature. Piera and her entire family welcomed us with kindness and made us feel at home. The children spent the days immersed in nature in contact with wonderful animals, the most appreciated donkeys. They also appreciated the play area dedicated to them, with swings, slides and much more. Salvatore, the chef, delighted us with exquisite dishes made with fresh, local products. The room was comfortable and clean. A relaxing environment for the whole family, a wonderful experience.

Close to the sea, but immersed in the countryside and with farmyard animals, adored by children. Play area for the little ones and garden to stay in. Impossible not to take home their organic products: oil, sauce, jams and marmalades. Try it!

10/02/2025: Siamo entrati in questo locale e ci siamo accorti sin da subito che l’unica cosa che mancava era il mare cristallino della Grecia . L’atmosfera , i sapori , i profumi la ricordano completamente . Proprietari deliziosi che mettono tanto amore e passione per il lavoro che fanno e i risultati seguono . Piatti eccellenti ed abbondanti . Abbiamo preso una carrellata di antipasti ( la moussakà deliziosa ) e bevuto buon vino , il tutto accompagnato da musica tradizionale . Prezzi onesti . Bravi !

19/01/2025: Very nice place, small but well finished, very kind and helpful owner, the Moussaka is fabulous, an experience that made me return to Greece for a few hours. Highly recommended

03/03/2025: A weekend with many friends, beautiful Matera... we then found ourselves in this restaurant, what can I say... everyone was very welcoming and always with a smile... the dinner was excellent, the quality of the raw materials was exceptional, dishes were refined and innovative, but with a pinch of tradition... a nice discovery for all of us... thank you for your welcome.

18/02/2025: Easily accessible place, in the center of the town. Good food and good price. I recommend booking.

30/03/2025: On a visit to Matera, it was recommended to us by our hotelier, praising the excellent quality, quantity and price ratio. He advised us to order the appetizers because it offered the opportunity to taste all the typical products and that given the abundance of the dish to wait to order the first courses. We did not find all this abundance, the cost is € 18 but what was served to us was of the highest quality.

13/03/2025: We had dinner on Sunday 2 March in this restaurant, we were two couples, the food was nothing exceptional, the younger waiter was cute and smiling, the other waiter was very self-contained. The thrust in the evening was the gentleman who made the cash for us...those who pay in cash get a discount, those who pay with a debit card have no discount!

15/03/2025: Excellent typical cuisine, recommended sheep pignata. Very kind

05/03/2025: Place in the Sassi of Matera... beautiful and well managed... excellent food and dishes well served respecting the Matera tradition, the excellent pignata... the owner Pasquale and his family make the welcome familiar.... highly recommended and to be returned

26/02/2025: There is something paradoxical in crossing half the peninsula to find yourself, gastronomically speaking, exactly where you started (Milan). Let me explain. The restaurant in question, nestled among the rocks of Matera, offers an experience that I could define as technically flawless. The service moves with the precision of a ballet, anticipating every need with that non-invasive grace that is the true hallmark of professionalism. The venue is simply very beautiful. And then comes the food. To say. Caciocavallo – that cheese that tells of centuries of transhumance and dairy wisdom – appears transformed into a flan with an impeccable consistency. A preparation that could appear in any avant-garde bistro in Brera or Isola in Milan. Cruschi peppers – those crunchy wonders that represent the dry, vibrant soul of Basilicata – have been reduced to a kind of powder, a decorative accent that seems more interested in conquering Instagram than the palate. Lucanian cuisine has a precise grammar and a robust syntax that does not require conceptual quotation marks or gastronomic parentheses. Yet here in every dish it seems that the original identity is something to be hidden under layers of technique and presentation. Why? It's not that you eat badly, far from it. Eat well. Too good. With that aseptic perfection that could place you in any corner of contemporary gastronomic geography, but not necessarily in Matera. Gourmet cuisine, with its obsession with revisiting, sometimes seems to forget that originality is not necessarily proportional to the distance one takes from the original. Sometimes, true audacity lies in respecting the essential and following tradition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

25/02/2025: C'è qualcosa di paradossale nell'attraversare mezza penisola per ritrovarsi, gastronomicamente parlando, esattamente dove si è partiti (Milano). Mi spiego. Il ristorante in questione, incastonato tra i sassi di Matera, offre un'esperienza che potrei definire tecnicamente ineccepibile. Il servizio si muove con la precisione di un balletto, anticipando ogni necessità con quella grazia non invasiva che è la vera cifra della professionalità. Il locale è semplicemente molto bello. E poi arriva il cibo. Per dire. Il caciocavallo – quel formaggio che racconta secoli di transumanza e saggezza casearia – compare trasformato in un flan dalla consistenza impeccabile. Una preparazione che potrebbe figurare in qualsiasi bistrot all'avanguardia di Brera o Isola a Milano. I peperoni cruschi – quelle meraviglie croccanti che rappresentano l'anima secca e vibrante della Basilicata – sono stati ridotti a una specie di polvere, un accento decorativo che sembra più interessato a conquistare Instagram che il palato. La cucina lucana possiede una grammatica precisa e una sintassi robusta che non necessita di virgolette concettuali o di parentesi gastronomiche. Eppure qui in ogni piatto sembra che l’identità originaria sia qualcosa da nascondere sotto strati di tecnica e presentazione. Perché? Non è che mangi male, tutt'altro. Mangi bene. Troppo bene. Con quella perfezione asettica che potrebbe collocarti in qualsiasi angolo della geografia gastronomica contemporanea, ma non necessariamente a Matera. La cucina gourmet, con la sua ossessione per la rivisitazione, sembra talvolta dimenticare che l'originalità non è necessariamente proporzionale alla distanza che si prende dall'originale. A volte, la vera audacia sta nel rispetto dell'essenziale e nel seguire la tradizione.

04/02/2025: I often go to this pizzeria/restaurant. Very good pizza. But the starters, first courses and second courses are also excellent. The cut is highly recommended. Value for money, really excellent. Highly recommended.

27/02/2025: A little jewel in the heart of Matera. Welcoming and elegant environment, attentive and punctual service, excellent food that satisfies both the sight and the palate. Congratulations for the management and care with which you carry out your business.

09/02/2025: We stopped here for lunch. The food was excellent and the view from outdoor seating was lovely. I only wish we didn’t have a dinner reservation, so could have had more than one course.

06/03/2025: We went to 900 Taccardi for the first time, and what can I say, a unique experience, good food. Very relaxing place and soft music. The owner welcomed us in a kind way and finally gave us a pack of pasta produced by his ancient pasta factory, with a lot of history in his family. Advised. We will return with pleasure!
