I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Matera

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. 💯

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

05/11/2025: The best in Matera! Despite being in a busy area, they manage to offer a personal and friendly welcome. The food is excellent, tasty, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

02/11/2025: Restaurant in the center of Matera. We had a wonderful dinner with excellent quality food and excellent service. Mario made our stay in the restaurant very pleasant! He pampered us with delicious dishes. I highly recommend it!

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

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

19/10/2025: 5-star appetizer, disappointed with the pizza, maybe worth trying again.

19/10/2025: Beautiful, clean, and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff. Thank you

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
