I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Matera

02/09/2025: The biggest drawback I have is that it's quite hot inside (we went in September, so it'll be even worse in the summer), and they only have a small fan. We had risotto and spaghetti carbonara, which were very good, although what we liked most was the cheesecake; it was spectacular.

02/09/2025: Had an amazing meal and experience here! Ali was our server and took great care of us, offering fabulous suggestions. Highly recommend!

26/06/2025: Every time I come back I am surprised by the atmosphere, the service, the owner's welcome but, above all, by the quality of the dishes offered. Highly recommended

09/04/2025: Con i miei amici gastronomi, abbiamo scelto la Locanda dell’Abate a Montescaglioso per un pranzo fuori porta. Siamo stati accolti con grande cordialità, e lo chef e titolare, il signor Giuseppe, ci ha guidati nella scelta dei vini per accompagnare l’esperienza. L’antipasto di mare ci ha conquistati con il tentacolo di polpo arrosto e le seppie cotte nel mezzo limone, sprigionando profumi delicati e un perfetto equilibrio tra tenerezza e acidità. Il legame con il territorio si è fatto sentire con la cipolla in agro. I ravioli di pesce, avvolti in una salsa di pomodoro leggermente acidula, hanno offerto un contrasto raffinato, mentre i gamberoni in crosta sono stati semplicemente eccellenti. L’atmosfera raccolta, grazie ai pochi tavoli in sala, ha reso la conversazione piacevole e conviviale. Concludiamo questa esperienza domenicale con un plauso allo chef Giuseppe per l’ottima organizzazione e la qualità delle portate. Torneremo presto!

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.

15/10/2025: Absolutely incredible ambiance and food. Elegant and refined but simple and traditional. 5 stars!

08/10/2025: Very good pizzeria! Warm welcome and everything was perfect for a pleasant experience! I recommend it!

04/10/2025: Very pleasant dining experience. Service was to be commended. Staff were friendly, attentive & professional. Food was well executed and tasty. Classic orecchiette with cime di rape, tiramisu and a lovely glass of house white wine. Pizzas on the nearby table looked delicious. Would definitely recommend dining at this restaurant.

11/10/2025: We were here this evening and had a truly wonderful meal! The food was excellent, everything fresh and carefully prepared. The owner was very kind and friendly, making us feel at ease right away. The place is clean, welcoming, and well-kept. A place that deserves to be known and appreciated. A wonderful discovery that we highly recommend!

27/04/2025: Delicious dishes, welcoming atmosphere and very, very nice place... I recommend it... even my 3 children liked it and ate everything!

17/10/2025: Highly recommended. Excellent local Matera cuisine served in generous portions. The staff is courteous and professional. The restaurant is elegant, with cloth-lined tables. The terrace overlooking the Sassi is actually a window, but considering the reasonable prices, it's a restaurant worth trying.

11/10/2025: Excellent dinner, we asked to be able to dine inside with a view of the Sassi and they obliged us, good and well cooked food

07/10/2025: Spectacular cavatelli, professionalism, speed and attention.... Congratulations

04/10/2025: Our experience started out great: from the moment we asked if dinner was available, we were struck by the kindness and thoughtfulness with which they responded. Shortly after, we were comfortably seated and immediately felt completely at ease, enjoying a truly enjoyable dinner. All the dishes we tasted were delicious, prepared with top-quality ingredients that brought out the traditional flavors. A huge special mention goes to Mrs. Filomena, a delightful person and excellent hostess whose warmth makes the atmosphere unique. The quality-price ratio was very, very good. Try this trattoria! The experience will certainly be pleasant, and you'll feel welcomed in a warm embrace. We'll definitely be back.

02/07/2025: Siamo stati alla Latteria dietro consiglio e…gran consiglio!! Abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Taglieri, spaghetti san giovannino, guanciale di vitello, tagliata, formaggio alla piastra. Tutto buonissimo. Se andate a Matera alla Latteria non sbagliate.

23/05/2025: Zeer verfijnde keuken. Alles zeer lekker! Vriendelijk personeel, vlotte bediening, gezellig en rustig straatje! Goede prijs/kwaliteit. Een aanrader!

21/10/2025: The view of Matera is very pretty, and at night it's magical. Access is good, but the place is very large, making it impersonal and a bit noisy. The food is good but lacks refinement.

20/10/2025: We dined here as part of the Matera walking tour, and found it to be a very pleasant place with excellent quality dishes. The tour of the cellars was interesting, and compliments to all the staff. Highly recommended!

15/10/2025: Very nice little restaurant, the lemon spritz was very refreshing. The pizza was fabulous, and the bruschetta was our favorite! We tried a small slice of tart, which was also delicious. Very good service. If you're passing through Matera, this restaurant is worth a stop.

01/10/2025: Delicious food, featuring dishes that rediscover traditional cuisine, explained by the owner, a very knowledgeable and courteous gentleman. I recommend it to everyone, whether celiac or not. If you're passing through Matera, you can't miss it.

09/10/2025: Baccanti in Matera is a beautiful restaurant set inside the historic caves, which creates a truly unique and atmospheric setting. The food was excellent, carefully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with great attention to detail. The wine list is also very well curated, with many interesting choices that pair perfectly with the dishes. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was affected by the seating arrangements. The restaurant does not seem to pay much attention to how tables are placed in the room. We were seated right next to the toilets and beside a very loud group, which made it hard to fully enjoy the wonderful food and atmosphere. For such a high-level restaurant, more consideration for guest comfort and ambiance would make a big difference.

05/10/2025: AVOID! The worst meal we had in the whole of our Puglia and Matera holiday. The floor around our table had not been swept. Unfriendly welcome, arrogant staff and generally tasteless food, especially for vegetarians. The supposedly warm starters were cold, and I wasn’t given the chance to taste the wine before it was poured. There are so very many better eating options in the town than this place.

01/11/2025: There's not much to say about Sisina. She's simply extraordinary, both as a woman and as a host. For us, coming to Basilicata is impossible without stopping here. The commitment and passion with which they cook every time at extremely reasonable prices is a pleasure. It's like stepping back in time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

10/10/2025: A welcoming and authentic atmosphere where you can enjoy traditional Lucanian dishes. A varied menu, excellent dishes, and a fantastic welcome await. Definitely worth a try.
