I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Basilicata

28/09/2025: Recommended by a friend, I decided to try it, so on Thursday, September 25, my wife and I went there. It is located in a historic corner of the city of ACERENZA, behind the beautiful Duomo. We found a very comfortable and elegant environment, as well as clean and well-ordered. The welcome was very elegant, with extreme kindness and availability. Our choice was already oriented towards a good pizza. Browsing the menu, there was a wide choice from classics to homemade creations, as well as various appetizers. I don't want to go on too long, so I'll conclude by saying that I found a pizzeria that can be classified among the best, with top-notch taste. We also decided to try the restaurant, which already looks inviting from the photos. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, perhaps as a refreshment point after a nice walk in this historic village of ours, and especially after a visit to the cathedral, which is stunning. THANK YOU FOR THIS ADDED VALUE TO OUR LAND.

09/11/2025: Very welcoming atmosphere, very kind staff, excellent Lucanian cuisine and a wide selection of items.

04/11/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service, excellent food quality. I recommend trying the fusilli with citrus pesto. The pizza and fried cod are also excellent. Excellent value.

03/10/2025: Excellent pizzas with quality ingredients. Fast service. Very pleasant and quiet atmosphere.

29/09/2025: We visited "La Panca 2.0 pizzeria" and were pleasantly surprised. We tried three pizzas, each with very interesting flavor combinations. The first pizza, with yellow datterino tomatoes, caciocavallo materano, and n'duja, offered a remarkable balance between sweetness and spiciness. The second, with yellow datterino tomatoes, capocollo, burrata, crusco peppers, and basil, also proved to be a rich and successful tasting experience. Finally, the third pizza, with Colonnata lardo, ricotta, walnuts, and honey, was a completely new experience that proved to be a surprising and harmonious combination. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for unconventional, high-quality pizzas. A lovely little place with great quality pizzas.

16/11/2025: Nestled in an incredible landscape, Hotel Mariano offers family hospitality, accompanied by delicious cuisine featuring local ingredients. The pasta and meat dishes are highly recommended. We'll definitely be back! ;)

26/10/2025: Personally, an exceptional experience. Quality dishes in the excellent restaurant-pizzeria, excellent draft beers, a good selection of bottled beers, both commercial and craft, and a well-stocked wine cellar. Superbly stocked and functional bar. Spotlessly clean and well-appointed rooms. Top-notch breakfasts with excellent croissants, savory options, quality juices, jams, honey, and freshly baked cakes. What more can I say? Friendliness, warmth, and professionalism? Of course! Highly recommended! We'll be back very soon. 💯

15/10/2025: It's fantastic. It's mostly locals who order here, so the pizza is top-notch. I just hope the pizzeria's distance from local attractions doesn't turn it into a viral attraction for the Instagram crowd.

10/09/2025: Really very good. We are French. We wanted to eat quickly and close to our accommodation and chose this pizzeria. Very warm welcome. Very fast service and very good pizzas!! Thank you very much

14/09/2025: Super good pizza, very kind staff!

02/09/2025: Excellent pizza 🍕 Very friendly staff ☺️

02/11/2025: Very good pizza, the dough is not among my favorites but abundant toppings well cooked very tasty, the comfortable room but in my opinion the spotlights are too strong and cold light given the place, a more relaxing light would be needed, the impeccable service, kindness and availability are top as are the prices four pizzas for three two beers and a bottle of water € 41 it also took 1 euro off us we had a great time the place is enchanting it really looks like a nativity scene we will be back Thank you!!

26/10/2025: During a day spent in Castelmezzano, my group and I found, by chance but fortunately, this small but well-kept pizzeria, which I highly recommend for three important reasons: cleanliness, friendliness, and good food.

13/11/2025: Excellent Italian, "modernized" food

12/11/2025: The service wasn't up to par for a refined establishment; the waiters were unprepared, distracted, and unprofessional. Out of three courses, only one was adequate (a mixed fried dish), while the fusilli (good) was undercooked, while the cozzmorr tasted only of grilled meat, and the offal was stringy and rubbery.

30/10/2025: A very nice place, located close to the historic center of Matera, near the entrance to the pedestrian area; typical local architecture, tastefully decorated, clean, and quite spacious. The staff is welcoming and friendly, young and well-trained. They quickly seat you and introduce you to the house specialties. The menu features a variety of typical dishes from Matera, including pignata and pignatella. The wine list is good. The ingredients are good. The dishes, well-prepared and presented, in my opinion, the "more elaborate" ones lack a distinctive touch that would highlight their authenticity. The cheese selection is excellent, and the appetizers are good overall. I had the opportunity to try the pignatella; it's a dish that needs to be savored with patience 🌬️. I really liked the flavor. I would have liked a little more meat and even a few pieces of sausage in addition to the crumbled one, but it was still very good. I really enjoyed dipping the dough that serves as the lid for the pignata into the broth at the end. For dessert, we tried the "sporcamusso," which was also delicious: delicate puff pastry, a soft creamy filling with balanced flavors. The only flaw was that the pastry was quite warm, while the creamy filling was cold, even lukewarm. But at that hour, it was nice not to get your face dirty with boiling cream. The quality/price ratio was decent, within the limits of what the market offers, but overall, the place has room for improvement. I will return to try the Pignata. Overall, I recommend going, especially in the evening. Given the proximity to the historic center, after eating, a stroll along the main street of Matera by night was a pleasant experience.

27/10/2025: I recommend the "pignata", excellent!

02/11/2025: For the first time, I came to Pomarico, a stone's throw from Matera, for work, and on the recommendation of some acquaintances, I was directed to this restaurant. I couldn't have given better advice. The food is truly excellent. The veal tagliata is spectacular, with a side of country-style potatoes. Even though one of the house specialties is horse meat, whose cuts are processed in various ways, including the diaphragm, which is very difficult to find, both for veal and horse. The only flaw, if I may say so, but it's not so much a criticism as a recommendation, especially since I stand by the five-star rating, is the bottle of Primitivo di Manduria. It can't be served chilled; it's blasphemy. Otherwise, everything else was excellent. I hope to return. Highly recommended. See you next time.

28/10/2025: Great place to eat excellent horse meat

08/11/2025: We had dinner here on a recommendation, and we weren't disappointed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The pizza was one of the best I've had in Italy. Dino gave us great advice and was very friendly, attentive, and genuine. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

14/10/2025: June 13, 2024, a memorable evening for my daughter's birthday...Thank you Nicola, thanks to Michele for his kindness and thanks to all of you for making this day special!!!

02/11/2025: Excellent value for money. Recommended

01/11/2025: A set lunch menu for November 1st. Everything was excellent and plentiful, from appetizer to dessert. Local recipes and ingredients were cooked simply and deliciously. Highly recommended.

31/10/2025: Great pizzas! It was hard to get a table. I recommend making a reservation.

31/10/2025: Excellent pizzeria. Friendly welcome for tourists. The menu is available online in four languages, including French, which is very helpful for deciding what to order. Pizzas are prepared right in front of you. Very good, made with fresh ingredients. The ingredients and flavors are exactly as advertised. The pork croquettes were pretty good too. The decor is a bit like a snack bar, but the food is amazing! We ate very well, and when you see homemade pizzas with good ingredients for under €10, you're not used to that in France! 😀

15/09/2025: Great value for money. The Frutti di Mare pizza and Frutti di Mare pasta were generously tossed. The food also came relatively quickly. I hope my tip goes to the friendly waiter, but I think the plate cleaner pocketed it himself. Overall, not the best tasting food, but great value for money.

14/09/2025: Great place. Came in by accident while passing by. The prices are more than affordable. Everything is sooo delicious.

03/11/2025: A really great experience, fast, friendly, empathetic and with excellent quality food, absolutely recommended.

28/08/2025: Delicious pizza 😍 I love the one with creamy potatoes and sausage! Nice place... unfortunately, however, the last time I was there they made us sit outside. We ate and then asked for something else but they made it clear to us in a very unkind way that it wasn't possible as they had to seat other people waiting (a family)... they had probably booked but had forgotten.... We didn't like this behavior at all... in fact, we won't be back again! The only shame is that we liked the pizza... As for the rest, we will definitely find better elsewhere!
