The restaurant is run by a couple, and has a very family feel, like you have been welcomed into someone's home for dinner (it is quite small so I think reservations are necessary at key seasonal times). The couple, who were the chef and host/wait people, were friendly and really wanted to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Our meal was wonderful: lemon anchovy pasta, octopus, eggplant, and a wonderful wine paired with the food. Adding to the atmosphere was the open feel via the window that looked into the kitchen, you could watch all the food sing prepped which was fun.

Los pimientos dulces, el T-bone, el queso, absolutamente todo estaba buenisimo. El ambiente en el restaurante excavado en la cueva de película.

Llegamos tarde y Pascuale y Mariella se pusieron a comer cuando estabamos acabando para no apresurarnos... repetiremos seguro cuando volvamos a Matera! El vino (tambien recomendado) estaba muy rico también!

The restaurant interior is bright,  contemporary with clean lines.  Service was terrific.  We started with drinks and ordered a bottle of wine -- an AGLIANICO DEL VULTURE, Verbo 2020 D.O.P. (4/5 18,00€). For dinner, we enjoyed: FUSILLI IN BIANCO (5/5) -- Fuscilli pasta in a white wine sauce with with peperone crusco (crusco pepper), fried bread crumbs, bacon, and horse cheese.  Pepperoni crusco is deeply rooted in the local cuisine of Basilicata. 13,00€ GUANCIA DI VITELLO (5/5) -- Veal cheek with mashed potatoes and sautéed greens. 20,00€ ARROSTO MISTO AGNELLO (4/5) -- Roast lamb and sausage served with baked potatoes. 18,00€ FILETO ARROSTO DI MANZO (4/5) -- Beautiful grilled steak served with sautéed greens and roasted potatoes -- we ordered this dish "senza glutine". 23,00€ SALADE MISTO (4/5) -- Mixed greens. 4,00€ With our Cover (3,00€ per person), came a delightful loaf of fresh local bread with a great local EVOO (5/5). Overall, we had terrific dining experience in the city of the Sassi.

The only fall back was that the pork chop was too fatty - it was hard to cut off the layers of fat. I do wish they trimmed the chop before searing it to avoid this. The other fallback - I do wish they had served a serrated knife with the main. The wine pairing with my food was perfect. I had the bread, olive oil, salt dessert. The best dish I had here. It was an amazingly creative dish. Don't want to spoil the experience for the readers but this is a MUST order.

All this gray food came with a very reasonable price so our entire experience was one we will always remember fondly.
