La Lopa

Finally got to try the famous Matera bread here and we loved it! We had the Lucanian pork cheek and the orecchiette with ragu - both were delicious, but the pork cheek especially blew our minds. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great local food experience in Matera!

We had dinner as a party of four and enjoyed a great meal with very welcoming and attentive service. There was a cinema in the basement that showed clips of different movies that were filmed in Matera over the years. Some going back to the 70’s

Incredible dinner experience with a romantic ambiance. Amazing food, specifically the sheep stew (La Pignata) and the Fava Bean Cream with chicory and Crusco (crushed red pepper). The local bottle of Primitivo we had from the Matera region was outstanding! Service was lovely and all the food was extremely flavourful and cooked perfectly. There is even a small cinema in the basement of the restaurant, where they have a short film featuring all the movies that have been filmed in Matera!

The pasta is terrific. Nice atmosphere. Fair price. A place to have dinner

Everything was perfect, the service, the location, the food and the wine!! I fully recommend this place! Ps. Please order the vitello carpaccio , it’s out of this world!!

Amazing restaurant, the service was great! Gluten-free options available. They also have a theatre room in the bowels of restaurant. A bit pricey however

Loved every bite! We tried tasting menu and that was an excellent experience!😍

The great advantage of this restaurant is its nice interior. Additionally, a nice idea is a room with a projector showing fragments of films shot in Matera. Unfortunately, the food disappointed us. Maybe because it was highly recommended? For us it was just average. The service was also different - from a nice waiter to one discouraged by his workload. We expected something more for this money. If you charge 4 Euro for an espresso, make sure you provide better service to your guests.
