This restaurant was unreal. The tourist menu was exquisite and not set up for your typical…read moretourists. For 25€ (per person) the table received 5 appetizers, a primo, secondi, and dessert followed by house-made limoncello. The restaurant was gorgeous, the server was exceptional and picked out an excellent wine for us. There was one chef working in the kitchen which you can see the whole time behind beautiful glass. As someone who travels to Italy often, this place is the real deal. Good prices for amazing food. Course after course blew my whole table away. If you go to Matera definitely stop here! It's in a quiet alley off of the piazza but not hard to find. So worth it. Small menu cooked to perfection.

Local dishes and local flavors are non like you have tried before. We ordered a large prosciutto platter with different tasting of cheese (burrata, pecorino, and another kind). Must get this to pair with their homemade bread! Tried two different kinds of local pastas, including the orecchiette. And a pork rolls with gravy and side salad. This restaurant is a must try for local Matera cuisine!

This restaurant is carved into the rocks so it's pretty much a cave, which is a lot of what Matera…read moreis about. It was very nice inside and the staff was very friendly. Their English was middling but better than my Italian! My family and I had antipasto, chicken and potatoes, pizza, soup, and ravioli. The chicken and potatoes were great! Frankly, I wanted a straight-forward meat and potatoes meal for a break while touring Italy, and this dish hit the spot--not one tomato on it. The food was good. Cappuccinos were great. We made reservations for dinner and arrived on time at 6pm. The place was empty except for the other tourist family from England. Americans typically eat dinner from 5-7p. Italians eat dinner from 7-9p. We had the restaurant to ourselves for dinner at EVERY establishment we visited until 7p when the locals started showing up. Definitely make reservations if you want to ensure space for your party!
