Ristoteca Dai Tosi

If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Second time there for cocktails and lite bites. The owners are so gracious and the bartender and truly bar artists that take great pride in crafting the right sip. A must when visiting Matera. I wish I would have taken more pics, but we were having such a wonderful time, didn’t think about it

Our dinner at Ristoteca dai Tosi was really really great! Making a reservation was super easy, and the place itself was really lovely. The team is welcoming and super nice, and the food was a delight! We had the shrimp flan, the bruschetta, the octopus and the orecchiette and really it was all delicious. The setting itself is also very nice and quite romantic :)

We were very lucky to have chose this restaurant! May choices but we were drawn to this place and so glad we had the pleasure of having such a delicious meal!

A real hidden gem in Sassi di Matera where you can eat in an ancient water cistern. Great food, great host, elegant service.

Well worth the effort of getting here. A relatively new owner (three years, from Venice ;-) who has created an authentic experience both in terms of local food and well appointed “cave interiors”. Good and fair value.

Great food, insane environment. The pork’s umami is so intense it can wake me up from a coma.

Stunningly beautiful cistern cave with many rooms, amazing finishes and a great wine cellar. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Hugo spritz tasted of simple syrup, not sambuco at all. Mushroom flan was rich and flavorful, but could have used a texture or other accenting garnish - it was lost in itself too much. Chickpea fritters were unpleasantly moist inside with a forgettable sauce - skip these. Meat rolls with sausage stuffing were fantastic, as was the peperonata. Cold baccala with cruschi was an interesting and mostly successful blend of color, flavor, and texture. Would definitely return to try more!

Top notch! Super food, nice service, superb atmosphere! A must in Matera!
