I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Matera

08/12/2025: The best pizza in Matera, excellent service, the staff is kind and helpful!

30/11/2025: If there's a place where good humor rises along with the dough, it's this out-of-this-world pizzeria, capable of catapulting you into orbit with the first bite. Phenomenal appetizers: bruschetta that smells of heaven, pettole as light as cosmic clouds. Excellent wine, quality perceived throughout, from the welcome to the coffee, super-clean bathrooms. From what I understand, this place is a must-try for the people of Matera because it was packed, yet we were very comfortable and received kind and efficient service.

14/12/2025: It would have been funny to give a low rating, just to avoid being banal. Pino and Mimmo's welcome is worthy of a 5-star hotel. You leave home to go HOME. The raw ingredients in the dishes are excellent and the cleanliness of the hotel is so high that you could eat on the floor. At breakfast, a very affectionate lady serves you and makes sure everything went well. We've been coming here for years every time we visit my aunt :) and we have to go back for the peperone cruscooooo

25/11/2025: Personally, the experience was exceptional. The excellent restaurant-pizzeria's quality dishes, a good selection of bottled beers, both commercial and craft, and a well-stocked wine cellar. The bar was well-stocked and functional. The rooms were spotless and well-appointed. The breakfasts were top-notch, with excellent croissants, savory options, quality juices, jams, honey, and freshly baked cakes. What more could I say? Friendliness, warmth, and professionalism? Absolutely! Highly recommended! We'll be back very soon. 💯

15/12/2025: Excellent dinner, but there are some mistakes to avoid during service, including using detergent/sanitizer to clean the table next to you while you're eating (if it's mandatory, at least avoid spraying it).

14/12/2025: This restaurant is a bit overrated, given its appearance on the TV show. The food is certainly good, but nothing special. The atmosphere is nice, and the service is more than good. The bill is moderately high.

05/12/2025: Typical cuisine, with traditional dishes prepared to perfection. The service was excellent, but above all, they took great care in recommending the best dishes and wines. Highly recommended!

27/11/2025: A cozy place with excellent homemade food at a great price. I recommend trying the pignata, a lamb stew cooked in a clay pot—a hearty, traditional dish from Matera.

02/12/2025: Ottimo ristorante, pietanze eccellenti (consiglio la terrina con braciole di cavallo e polpette) e servizio ineccepibile.

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 was excellent. I hope to return. Highly recommended. See you next time.

29/11/2025: Everything was good, we've been back several times. The staff was really friendly.

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!

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! 😀

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

10/11/2025: Cozy local ristorante with very good food, good service and reasonable prices. We drove Matera to Potenza and saw a sign in crossroad "Irsina - uno dei piu belli borghi in Italia" and decided to for sunday lunch there. It was very good decision!

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

01/12/2025: Sunday lunch, good and plentiful dishes. Efficient service. One fried fish is enough for two. The first courses are also very generous.

04/11/2025: From the outside, it's not very inspiring. Upon entering, I found a simple place with a very kind gentleman who welcomed me. I was with my husband, and we ate a hot and cold mixed antipasto for two, and scialatelli allo scoglio. Everything was good. Sometimes you don't always have to look at the outside. The price was reasonable.

05/12/2025: Came here with group of friends for food and drinks. The food is very nice and drinks are even better. They home made spicy sauce is the best. Stella was very accommodating and went extra mile to make our visit special. I will visit again when in Matera next time.

22/11/2025: Excellent, yes, easily accessible, both on foot and by car. Welcoming place, knowledgeable and warm staff, excellent cuisine, you can find everything, from traditional dishes to fish and pizza.

08/12/2025: Today, Monday, December 8th, I ordered three pizzas, and two-thirds had a short black hair in them. Who knows how many other hairs I ate (hopefully zero), because as soon as I spotted this hair, I spat it all out. My mother did the same, so basically, pizzas tossed. Two hairs is too many; I strongly recommend wearing a swimming cap.

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.

08/09/2025: Good, easy-to-digest pizza. Very friendly staff.

27/08/2025: Pizza and peperoni cruschi are really excellent!

06/12/2025: Fantastic pizzeria and restaurant, it feels like we've stepped back in time to the era of galleons and caravels. Top-notch staff, friendly, precise, and fast. I ordered the pizza and nibbled on a few flavors; the dough was fantastic and the toppings were generous.

29/11/2025: Truly unique care and attention! A charming place and excellent food! We'll definitely be back!

03/10/2025: Nice place, having eaten there I could tell if it's good. (False is good)

03/09/2025: The name of the place refers only to piadinas, but it turns out to be a fantastic pizzeria. The pizza resembles Neapolitan pizza not in terms of the crust but rather in the dough. The selection of pizzas, piadinas, and pucce is vast. There's plenty of seating outside, less inside. The customer traffic is high, which is certainly a sign of its great success. I'll be back to try all the flavors!

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
