The Sassi of Matera is a world heritage, so very famous in south Italy. There
are many hotels and restaurants, so it's easy to find a place. However, since
there are too many restaurants, it's hard to find a good one!
Thanks for the atmosphere of the Sassi district, all of restaurants seem very
good.
Just give up to find by yourself, I recommend you asking to some locals.
When I did this way, everybody nominated "Le Botteghe"!!
The restaurant is located near the heart of the Sassi district. The entrance
has an unique atmosphere so just before entering, you can feel very exciting.The
square in front of the restaurant is also lovely.
When it's warm weather, it would be wonderful to enjoy good food outside.
Inside is excellent spacious almost unimaginable.There are 95 seats. I visited
Matera in the middle of September so off-season, there were several locals in
family groups.
The restaurant is not too much "high class", you can enjoy its comfortable
elegance. The service is smooth, while you order you can ask recommendation to
the friendly restaurant's staff. The menu is mainly composed of local dishes,
including Italian cuisine. There are about 120 varieties of wine, most of them
are made in Basilicata region.
This time I ordered a house wine (red) in the decanter of 500cc, really smooth
and delicious full-body taste. It costed only 4 euros! The cheapest full bottle
is served at 8 euros.
I ordered food while listening to the staff's friendly advice. And that was
the first time to taste Matera's Bread (Pane di Matera), one of my purposes of
this trip.
Delicious as reputation! ! ! The bread made of hard yellow wheat used for pasta,
looks like a rough rock, but inside is very soft and good salty taste.
I ordered two pasta dishes with my friend, and shared one main dish together.
One of the pasta was "Orecchiette al Tegamino", typical pasta of Apulia
region, in the shape of "ears (orecchie)". It's cooked in a small pot
(tegamino) with ham and cheese with tomato sauce, baked in the oven. The pasta
with tomato sauce and hot melted cheese was so delicious. Very good harmony of
the sweet acidity of tomatoes and delicate cheese. I found that also other people
around us ordered this dish.
The other pasta was "Cavatelli cozze rucola e parmigiano". Homemade
fresh pasta with mussels, rockets and Parmesan cheese. This was also great.
The pasta absorbed the Mussels sauce, and plenty of Parmesan chees and rockets
added a fresh taste.
They have many types of pasta, so just enjoy to see people
eating around.
This restaurant's special dish is grilled meat. We ordered "Bistecca
di scottona", steak of lean beef with less fat.
Even if we'd asked a small portion, on our table 400 grams of steak were delivered!
The surface was grilled well, the inside was exactly medium. We tried to share
but could not eat all give up!
Just a little higher price because of the good location and atmosphere. In any case, it's less expensive as compared to Rome or Florence, and very delicious.
