Osteria MateraMì

Amazing pasta and fantastic view. Top Service (except that young grumpy girl) 2 waiter have been very kind and supportive. Tiramisu unfortunately wasn’t good but the red wine was a good compensation.

A hidden gem in Matera. We hadn’t booked in advance and were lucky enough to get the last table of the night. It’s a small restaurant with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent, from the starter to main and the dessert, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It was a wonderful surprise and the perfect meal before we left Matera.

Incredible food and service. Every dish was delicious and unique. Best meal of our trip and different from the usual menus you see everywhere. Nicola went above and beyond to make our experience memorable and enjoyable especially for our young baby. Definitely a must for anyone visiting Matera.

We didn't have a reservation, but we got a table when we walked in, at 8.50pm. The place was empty. But, within 5 mins, it was full! The seating was inside / upstairs - very windy & chilly outside. Upstairs is a mellow space, with a curved sandstone ceiling, & nice warm lighting that is not too bright. We shared a plate of 5 mixed appetisers, which was very generous. (€24) Then we each had Gambero Croccante Lucano (€20,00) - 4 grilled Dublin Bay prawns, with a grilled crust of breadcrumbs, oil, parmesan & pistachio. Delicious! Shared a side salad, & a litre carafe of house rosé (€10) Couldn't fit dessert! Food was lovely, but service was even lovelier. On the way out, we were given an excellent fennel liqueur digestif by the manager. Had a nice chat about fennel, which we cook a lot at home. Anyway, when we left, he gifted us the remains of the bottle - about 1/4 full! Outstanding hospitality!

One of the best meals we have had in Italy. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef was kind enough to speak to me about how he prepared the pasta dish I had. Great experience, made Matera very memorable.
