    Wow - me and my partner were visiting (me from the United States and he from Croatia); and this was easily one of the best meals I have had in months! Isabella, the owner, educated us on the variety if history, intention, and skill behind each plate, oil, and wine we ate. The service was humble, personal, and welcoming. By far the best restaurant for great food, service, atmosphere, and overall sense of care. Quality is 12/10 - looking forward to going again!

    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 crêpe academy in France, and he has got a talent for sure! Please, have a crêpe for a dessert. We went for the one with salted butter and apple and we didn’t miss! Thank you❤️

    Truly spectacular meal highlighting not only Puglian cuisine at its finest, but even more specifically Matera. The menu is thoughtful and every ingredient feels intentional. The owner personally took care of our table and his passion for the food and the region was apparent. Highly recommend!

    Fantastico Italian French fusion restaurant with a different menu than other Matera restaurants. I enjoyed the duck and crepes most of all. We all really appreciated the excellent service and the friendly suggestions and conversations from the wait staff. The chef and his team make dining a pleasure. Bravo and grazie mille, from the Australians who enjoyed your restaurant on the 11th of May 2025.

    Lovely restaurant managed by charming Guiseppe who answered all my queries, never made me feel rushed and described the dish and all the ingredients. Service was very attentive which was much appreciated as a solo diner and and the food was excellent. My light lunch of peperone crusche followed by a prosciutto, asparagus and parmesan sauce crepe was perfect. All this for a reasonable price! Thank you!

    This is the best meal I've had in Italy. The food is french style but all local ingredients. The lasgna was amazing as was the brisket. Great wine list too. Server was very knowledgeable on the menu and I'm glad I trusted his suggestions.

    This is food which pushes the boundaries, both on flavour as well as presentation. Service was outstanding, with a waiter / front of house who absolutely knew the provenance of the ingredients, as well as superb wine recommendations. Blown away by the crispy peppers & the lasagna - omg, what a meal!!!

    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. The restaurant is cozy, cheerful and welcoming. The service was impeccable from beginning to end. The food was delicious…. everything was skillfully prepared with very fresh ingredients. The chef’s version of lasagna is a standout with sausage and mornay sauce. The brisket was very tender and served with a flavorful, light sauce and vegetables. The “fruit salad” with strawberry sorbet topped the meal off perfectly!

    Thanks a lot 🙏

    We found this restaurant via the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and what an amazing dinner we had, the best food I ate in Puglia, good wine and very warm and nice staff who speak very good English and French and give perfect explanation and suggestions.

    If in Matera, you should absolutely visit this restaurant! We got a starter with pepperoni cruschi, Cappelletti, swordfish and crepe as a dessert and everything was incredible. The service was top notch, it was my second time and I'll definitely be back.

    Burro Salato Bistrot is a rare gem in the culinary world. The ambiance of the restaurant is exceptionally beautiful, with every detail meticulously designed to ensure a comfortable and serene dining experience. What makes the experience even more memorable is the professionalism of the female proprietor. She welcomes each guest with warmth and can elaborate on the menu and wines with impressive expertise, elevating the dining experience to a new level. The food is beyond reproach, with each dish showcasing the freshness of the ingredients and the culinary skills of the chef, making every bite a delightful surprise. Overall, Burro Salato Bistrot is a top-notch restaurant that I highly recommend, where the environment, service, and food are all unforgettable.
