Dimora Ulmo ristorante

Service was impeccable. Atmosphere was beautiful. I did the dimoro ulmo tasting with wine pairing. Out of the 6 courses, 3 were enjoyable. In no particular order, the pasta with apricot sauce was so sweet I could only eat a few bites. Parpadelle and pork was very very good along with the monkfish. The chicken was very dry and disappointing. The carpaccio was so so. Im not sure if im a fan of it so, it's hard to say if it was the way it was made or i don't like carpaccio. Wine Selection was not super great either. only liked 2 of the wines and ended up having to ask to switch a couple. It was an okay experience. Not the best I have had. I felt it was a little overrated.

The food was absolutely extraordinary easily 10/10. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and worth the visit on its own. The views are equally spectacular, making for an unforgettable setting. A special thank you to Francesco, the sommelier. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and recommended an excellent wine that paired perfectly with our meal. His professionalism and warm attitude truly elevated the experience. Unfortunately, the service from one of the waitresses (a lady) was the complete opposite. She was inattentive, impolite, and came across as snobbish and arrogant throughout the evening. Her attitude made us feel unwelcome and ultimately ruined what could have been a perfect dining experience. It’s disappointing because the kitchen and the sommelier deserve the highest praise, but hospitality is just as important as the food. I sincerely hope the management addresses this, as the restaurant has the potential to be exceptional.

Francesco our main waiter was fabulous 😍. The degustation and wine pairing was sublime. It's very rare I give a 5 out of 5 for food but this place was stunning. I only gave 3 out of 5 for the atmosphere because there were not many people in the restaurant when we dined and the decor had a conflict of personality. I would have like to have seen more classic Italian decor to suit the 16th century dwelling. But please do go, it's amazing 🤩

We have been here twice; one time during lunch and another during dinner seated in the same spot (which I find the best spot), by the windows where you can appreciate the panoramic view of Matera. Dinner is a more romantic feel, but both times equally lovely. Wine list was like a book; so extensive! Dishes were delicious, and makes you so full so best to pace. The servers are knowledgeable about every dish. We loved this place so much, that it was the first that came to mind when helping out a friend plan his proposal. Beautiful memories in a beautiful place.

A Truly Exceptional Gourmet Experience From the moment we arrived at this outstanding gourmet restaurant, we were blown away by the entire experience. Nestled in a stunning location, with breathtaking views and an elegant atmosphere, the setting alone was enough to set the stage for a memorable evening. The service was nothing short of exceptional. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about providing the best experience possible. Each course was introduced with care, and their wine pairings were spot on. As for the food – it was a true culinary masterpiece. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly prepared with the highest quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The creativity and precision of the chef were evident in every bite. This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat – it’s a place to experience food in its finest form. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary, this gourmet gem is well worth the visit. Highly recommended!
