October 25, 2019 Sheron Bogner

Discover Restaurants offering the best Deli food in Matera, Province of Matera, Italy. Get to Matera quickly, because it’s still relatively undiscovered by foreign tourists. In town, visit the Domenico Ridola National Museum. Matera’s real claim to fame, though, and the reason it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the extensive series of cave dwellings ("i sassi") southeast of town, first inhabited by Benedictine and Basilian monks. You’ll see individual cells, chapels, and even some churches, many adorned with Byzantine decorations and frescoes.

il Pettolino

Street food and traditions to treasure, eating and drinking well, are at the core of our project. Pettolino is a quality brand, a brand made in Italy. Pettola or fried dough, is a simple tasty and flexible product, always the protagonist of the Mediterran

Not many places open on Maters this time of year, so we booked online and it was all fine. Nice place, not very busy, but had a few family groups. Nice 'Pettolino' starter comes free, and then we had the cassette of 4 starters. Followed by generous serves of pork shank and slow cooked pork. Wine by the bottle was good value. Our waiter was great and happy to explain the fully Italian menu. Would return.

This restaurant was attached to a hotel and had a wonderful airy cave setting together with attentive efficient service.It was fairly empty and deserves more customer. The prices were higher than we have been paying but the menu was different from normal fare and beautifully prepared cooked and presented and suited us as the portions were not large. A true refuge from the tourist bustle in the very heart of the Sassi. Highly recommend

Vicolo Cieco Salsamenteria

The Impasse Salsamenteria wears a new style while maintaining its uniqueness. The crown jewel in the historic town of Matera Sassi since 1999. Its retro style is what has always characterized. The vintage furniture is studied in detail and the search for

I'm an American journalist and movie reviewer. I went to this restaurant to interview the owner Nando Irene, a noted Italian actor. Upon our arrival, my photographer and I were greeted with the famous Lucano hospitality and of course, regional delicacies.. peperoni cruschi and Aglianico wine.. a little piece of heaven. Nando and his entire staff were extremely attentive to anything we needed. The ambience of the restaurant is warm and unique, and reminded me a bit of home with the American retro furniture and soulful music blaring from the jukebox. I highly recommend this locale. It's a must-visit when in Matera!

The place is adorable, the view of the hill sitting outside is incredible, the food was spectacular, with an extensive variety of regional dishes. Reasonably priced and good portions. Friendly staff. We were celebrating a birthday and they helped us get a cake from a local pastry shop. It was fantastic, I strongly recommend it! Also strongly recommend the burrata dish and the lamb!

Materia Prima Bistrot

Reviewed By whateverjusttravel

The location is very nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Generally this place would be great for a glass of wine but don’t go there for dinner. The food is simply mediocre and overpriced for the size of portions. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh but unfortunately everything is ruined by the chef’s «creativity”. One of the worst meals I’ve had in Italy over the last few years. I honestly don’t know where all the raving reviews come from. Probably from people who normally eat at McDonald’s. Thanks a lot for saying it Vis a vis.De gustibus no dispuntadum est.
