Service

Firstly, the advice from the waiter/main receiver of the guests, for the meals they offer, was greatly appreciated. There is a significant value in the product served by promoting local Italian products.The ambiance very relaxing and the most attractive part of this restaurant is the local products on sale with a vast assortment of wines. The meal together with service allows you to pass a very delightful experience!

Pretty reasonable prices considering its prime location. Catered very well to my son who has multiple food allergies. Service was swift but very friendly. Ordered their appetizer of assorted cold cuts and cheese. I don&rsquo;t like ricotta cheese so they were flexible and gave us 2 burrata cheeses.Definitely book through  The Fork and specify you want outdoor seating with a view. Also recommend booking early in the evening. We came at 7:00, we were the only people there but it got busy and full really fast.

The food at La Dispensa do Aquatio was absolutely incredible. Dino took care of us all evening long and was a great host. We shared between two people two appetizers, on pasta, and one meat. There was a reasonable amount of food served for each plate so we were content between those four things. The restaurant is inside a cave and attached to a hotel and spa. La dispensa di aquatio should not be missed!

Truly amazing restaurant. Great way to chose set menus with so many combinations and options. Fantastic service and elegant atmosphere. Each dish was a peace of art. Also very tasteful and well thought though. We will be back for sure!

We had a fantastic meal here and would recommend. &euro;130 for x2 people. x2 starters, x2 mains, x1 dessert and x1 mid-range bottle of wine.Get the Black pork ravioli. Possibly the best pasta to ever pass my fair lips.The pork belly main was a fatty delight with sweet but subtle cranberry and apple sauces. My partner enjoyed her lamb, which is much heralded by fellow journeymen and women, but between you and me, I think I ordered better.The additional solo squished new potato was perhaps (dare I say it) the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned and fluffy. Like a well-travelled cloud. The small quantity required slow, mindful chewing. In my dreams there was a whole plate of them.Also, all the staff looked Hollywood chic in their smart, double breast suit jackets.La cr&egrave;me de la cr&egrave;me. Or should I say, le bubbole de le bubbole.

Very cozy restaurant with french-Italian cuisine. Both service and food were just amazing! French dishes even tastier than in France itself. We were told that the chef finished a cr&ecirc;pe academy in France, and he has got a talent for sure! Please, have a cr&ecirc;pe for a dessert. We went for the one with salted butter and apple and we didn&rsquo;t miss! Thank you❤️

My wife is allergic to gluten and this was a great last minute choice. As someone who can eat gluten the pasta and bread was still great and I would have not known the difference, which is not always the case with gluten free. The food and service were excellent. The waiter was very helpful and even booked us a taxi back to our hotel. We would definitely recommend.

We had a great table overlooking the magical evening lights of Matera. The food was authentic and delicious and the service was very attentive. We highly recommend this little gem! The cool playlist of tunes was a real bonus.

We had an amazing and flawless experience from start to finish. The ambiance was quite elegant and inviting, the dishes are beautifully crafted with exceptional flavors, and the service was impeccable. Every detail, from the presentation to the attentive staff, makes this a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable meal in Matera.

Great service and excellent food! One of the best in Matera. Antipasti was very good. The service was fast and very friendly. The ober speaks good English.

Everything was delicious. We shared the poached egg appetizer, lasagna, pork, roasted potatoes, and dessert. I enjoyed being able to peak into the kitchen! Great place for a special meal in Matera.

This little restaurant was another delicious dining spot in Matera. We ate on the terrace. Plenty of shade. Good choices for vegetarians. Good service and they threw in a beautiful day too!

We had an amazing dinner here for our first night in Matera.  The view from outdoor restaurant is post card perfect!  Gorgeous.  And for food was delicious and creative while also using local ingredients.  I had the vegetarian tasting menu which was exceptional.  I highly recommend dining here.

This restaurant offers a fantastic selection of pizzas at reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a great dining experience.

Lovely view of the harbour from the terrace. Excellent fish courses served to perfection. Correct service, if rather slow at times. This was understandable given its evident popularity.

With its breathtaking views and cozy atmosphere, this restaurant is a must-visit in Matera. The combination of delicious food and friendly service creates a welcoming environment that makes you want to return.

I had an exceptional dining experience at Bell&#39;Agio, where the tasting menu showcased authentic regional flavors. The service was exemplary, with the owner going above and beyond to ensure a memorable evening.

This sushi restaurant is beautifully decorated and offers excellent quality food. Highly recommended for sushi lovers!

A fantastic lunch of traditional food. Highly recommend!

They were amazing. We asked for the waitress&rsquo; recommendations and she did not disappoint. Delicious food from start to finish and delicious wine. They were also so great and encouraging with our broken Italian. What a lovely restaurant. Would both come back and recommend to anyone! Also reasonable prices!
