I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Matera

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.

11/10/2025: An exceptional hotel, meeting every possible need, with attention to detail. The room offers a stunning view of the surrounding landscape. Breakfast is varied, and you can enjoy delicious cakes. The owner and staff were extremely welcoming and kind. We thank the owner, Giuseppe, who put us in touch with local artist Professor Mario Sansone and Mr. Rocco De Rosa, with whom we immersed ourselves in a beautiful journey rich in history, legends, and artistic beauty that demonstrate the creativity and vitality of the place. The location is central for reaching nearby attractions.

21/09/2025: The room and breakfast were excellent!! Good value for money. The friendliness, helpfulness, and attentive service are 5-star.

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

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: 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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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!

04/11/2025: Apart from the courtesy and kindness of all the staff which is 10 and more but I can assure you that the food is divine, everything very good and also very abundant, if you are in Matera you cannot choose better.

21/10/2025: We are happy to have found this excellent authentic restaurant with an excellent offer of food and wine at reasonable prices. It is not fast food, but a real restaurant with excellent service and generous portions. I highly recommend it after a wonderful long walk in Sassi Matera. I would especially like to highlight the friendly waiter, an old-school professional who welcomes you with a smile and serves you perfectly.
