5 Lire

Great focaccia, friendly staff, and an amazing view from the balcony. Definitely recommend!

Pizza was amazing, and the view was even better. Not many seats on the terrace so first come first serve. Food and Drinks were also good price compared to everything else.

5 Lire is a lovely, cozy spot for lunch in Matera. The outdoor seating area is small but charming, and its intimate size perfectly matches the authentic atmosphere of the city rather than feeling like a drawback. The views of Matera are beautiful and make the experience even more enjoyable! The pizzas were good, super crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor. It’s a simple, welcoming place with very reasonable prices, making it a great choice for a relaxed meal while exploring Matera. Recommended to try

Excellent views and good pizza by the slice! We stumbled upon 5 Lire Matera by mistake.. They offer a really nice variety of sliced pizzas, and the food was fine and satisfying. However, the absolute highlight of this place is the amazing view you get of the old part of Matera. It is worth stopping by just to eat a slice of pizza and take in that breathtaking backdrop. Definitely recommend it for a quick, scenic bite!

We visited 5 Lire Focacceria in Matera twice in one day—once when we arrived and again at sunset—and that alone says a lot about how much we liked it. The place itself is simple and quite small, nothing fancy, but what really makes it special is the view. It’s honestly one of the best views you can find in Matera, especially at sunset, which makes the whole experience feel much more memorable. The food is straightforward but very enjoyable. The focaccias and pizzas are really tasty, clearly well made, and perfect for a casual meal. The drinks were also well prepared, which was a nice bonus. Service was great too. The girl who attended us (we didn’t catch her name) was very kind and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. On top of everything, the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the location and the view. Overall, it’s a simple spot done right—good food, great atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent value. Definitely recommended.
