Dedalo - Sensi sommersi

Amazing. Stunning food, wonderful ambience and what an intriguing restaurant.... It has a beautiful story behind it and its rooms just go on and on. Go and loose yourself in the Labyrinth of taste and originality of the restaurant..... It is worth it.....

Staff was attentive, sincere and accommodating. Restaurant was beautiful and unique.

This restaurant is very beautiful and luxurious. I wasn't hungry enough after eating something, so I ordered just one menu, but the food was so delicious that I wanted to try more menu items. The staff are very friendly and kind, and I feel very fortunate that I had my last dinner in Matera here. Next time I have a chance to come to Matera, I will definitely come back.

Particularly great service and absolutely delicious food - especially recommend the crispy peppers and fricelli con concasse - sooo good! And prices are super fair - I disagree with the displayed price rating

At DEDALO MATERA : The unique setting of the restaurant within an old cave was undeniably captivating, creating an intriguing atmosphere. However, the experience was marred by the owner's rigid and unpleasant demeanor, as he imposed strict rules and micromanaged our visit, leaving our party of 8 feeling more like supervised children than valued guests. Despite his enthusiasm in showcasing the small art gallery post-dinner, his condescending attitude restricted our sense of freedom within the restaurant, resulting in an uncomfortable and perplexing experience. It is evident that the owner would benefit from reevaluating his approach in order to improve the overall dining experience for his patrons.

I wanted to stay away from the touristic area and asked around about a nice restaurant to have a romantic and quiet night with my wife (since the grandparents were babysitting our then 1 year old). we were told to go to Dedalo. we had a nice walk down the hill and found ourselves in this beautiful restaurant. the ambiance was incredible and fit in to the Matera feel of being inside a cave. The service was incredible and the food was delicious. they really treated us like we were family and the chef even came out and we had a very nice conversation. They welcomed us with a glass of champagne with small pieces of frozen chocolate raspberries which were to "die for" according to my wife. And when my wife asked about what they were they said they made the chocolate themselves and gave her a little complementary bag to go. After a fabulous dinner it was actually very nice to have a nice walk around the area and back up to our hotel. I highly recommend this place

We had a great meal here! The food was of a very high level in my opinion, and the creativity was welcome, while still being tied to traditional cuisine. The owner graciously gave us a tour following dinner and we were amazed by the level of thought and care he put into this beautiful space.

Strongly suggest avoiding this restaurant. We visited this restaurant as a family as a treat on Boxing Day whilst visiting Matera and were quite disappointed. It started when my father in law received a starter that none of us ordered, then the main courses arrived and were incredibly bland, flavourless and the sides of aubergine were very cold. When we were asked how our food was and we explained that it was not pleasant (most of us didn’t even eat our food), nothing was offered as a means of rectification. After this, they then asked us whether we wanted a ‘tour’ of the restaurant… there’s nothing to see other than empty rooms and tables… We were looked at as if all five of us were wrong for not liking the food or thinking it was cold! We went to another restaurant at the top of Matera old town that evening and had a far more enjoyable experience!!
