Il Fiore del Latte

We stumbled across this gem when walking into town. Incredible food and the service feels like family. I can see how for some it might be off putting who don’t understand the culture, but this is truly authentic Italian food and hospitality. Can’t wait to be back! Also, very affordable for good quality food, portions a huge!

Sandwiches are nothing special. The place seems to rely heavily on TikTok and Instagram marketing rather than the food itself. There is only one person working, and the ordering process is a bit inconvenient—you have to scan a QR code to place your order, then wait until your number is called to pick it up. We tried the Mortadella Stracciatella and the Mortadella Burrata Pesto. The ingredients were fairly ordinary, especially considering the high price. The pesto was overwhelming and overused, completely dominating the flavor of the sandwich. Overall, the sandwiches were ok, but nothing memorable. In our opinion, this place is overrated and not worth going out of your way for. There are much better places to eat for the same price

It's Matera, the portion was huge, huge, and huge. The burrata ball was gigantic, however. The actual burrata wasn't that really good. It was acceptable. The deli porchetta I had was excellent however. Some products they use they proudly give to you in their little jars like the fig "salsa". Sometimes their mixes and choices don't really flow that well and feel more so as if too many options, is really a bad thing. Additionally, their menu is online, but there's a main choice menu on the wall. I wish this place did more of a command and orchestrated their choices as to what's best for a beautiful regional sandwich, rather than letting someone decide what to put on their own food. A little cleaning up, marketing, and ordchestrating the chaos and this place has a shot at being a really nice lunch spot in Matera. I'm wishing them the best! Recommend, porchetta cipolla salsa burrata Do not recommend salami pecanti, fig salsa, and gorgonzola.

This little Italian sandwich bar is a true hidden gem. The sandwiches are simply amazing — fresh ingredients, perfect bread, and delicious flavors. You can tell everything is made with love and care. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, but what really makes this place special is the owner — she’s incredibly kind, cheerful, and always makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer. You can enjoy her passion for good food and her hospitality. Sandwiches served with a big smile, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Best food we ate in this trip to Italy!!! It was so so good. It was very tasty and the portion is huge. When you came just sit down and scan QR code and ladies will call your table number when it’s ready. We ordered one panini with burrata, prosciutto and guacamole salsa and the other one with stracciatella, mortadella and tartufo salsa. So so good!!
