Fantastic experience at Myricae. It’s not easy to find restaurants with this level of gastronomy, and the presence of a chef with true “gastronomy voyager” spirit in the team really makes the difference. You immediately feel that there is vision, technique, and creativity behind every dish. The cuisine is refined yet rooted in the territory, with carefully balanced flavors and elegant presentations. Each course shows attention to detail, quality ingredients, and a clear culinary identity. Service is attentive and professional without being formal, and the overall atmosphere enhances the experience. They are clearly bringing this restaurant to another level. I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special in Matera.

+6⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable culinary experience in Matera – Myricae is pure magic Dining at Myricae was not just a meal — it was a journey through taste, elegance, and soul. From the very first moment, everything felt thoughtful and refined: the warm lighting, the open kitchen, the calm confidence of the staff, and the sense that you’re about to experience something special. And Myricae delivers — spectacularly. Each course was a work of art. Beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and deeply rooted in the flavours of Basilicata while feeling modern and creative. Every bite told a story: delicate amuse-bouches that surprised and delighted, exceptional bread and oils, inventive starters, and mains that were precise, bold, and unforgettable. The quality of ingredients is outstanding, and the technique is Michelin-level. The wine pairing was flawless — enhancing every dish without ever overpowering it — and the pacing of the meal was impeccable. You’re given time to enjoy, to savour, to app

Excellent food. Felt very upscale with a lot of attention to the food quality. Smaller portions though so don’t go too hungry.

perfect food with the right amount of salt, local herb and oil. The chef knows how to cook and to run the place. Great wine list. Reasonable price for the quality of food. Must try lamb dish and raviolo dish. I will come back to Italy just to dine here.

Best food I have had in my month in Italy. Not only was the food great but they took the time necessary to explain each of the thirteen courses. Quite an experience.

+2Amazing. It is the only word I can accurately use to describe Myricae. Chef Domenico & his team were extremely welcoming and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the 13 course degustation and were blown away by the presentation & quality of dishes which were all served at our table by Domenico which added a further personal touch to the experience. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MYRICAE ANY MORE HIGHLY, IT IS A MUST DO WHEN IN MATERA!

Simply excellent. From the greeting to the desert, we enjoyed every single moment. Not the kind of usual restaurant, atypical but great service and outstanding food (we took the menu with 13 servings). I had the luxury to visit plenty of restaurants in the world, this one we’ll keep in best memory. Carole and Robert from Luxembourg

+2Absolutely stunning menu, a true gastronomical experience at an amazing price. The owner and head chef clearly cares about every dish, with a menu that beautifully blends local and international flavours. Everything was delicious, and I would 100% recommend it if you’re visiting the area and want something different from the classic orecchiette.

The training menu was great. When it comes to fine dining Italy is a deal!

Excellent restaurant run by two chefs who are from Matera but with great international experience. Food was much better than at some restaurants from the Michelin list I have experienced in Apuglia. The concept is to make food from local ingredients and connected to history of the town. Service was excellent! Strongly recommend to visit.

Food and service were excellent Just 2 negative comments : The first bill we were given did not include the fork discount A very small glass of wine (for which the whole bottle cost€25) was €8 !

Modern restaurant with very pleasant staff and excellent quality food (rather small portions but that's probably part of the modern style). Interesting also that other couples brought their dog which is totally fine with me (love dogs) but other people might object and another couple brought their baby. It's clear that you're in Italy and that's why I love it. A very relaxed atmosphere. Everything is possible. Nice.

Excellence and refinement, food lovingly crafted with an impressive attention to detail and taste/flavour combinations. The cuisine is centered on local products and recipes but uses international techniques. Very highly recommended.

The food was creative and delicious. All the ingredients were local. This is the best restaurant in Matera. I prefer myricae over the Michelin star restaurant in town.

A sensational tasting menu! Literally out of this world. Starting with the tower of amuse bouche every course surprised and delighted us! Please please please don’t skip out on dessert. The prickly pears were to die for. It is clear these dishes have been crafted with an almost clinical focus on zero waste but that doesn’t detract from the warmth and passion in every dish. Enjoy ingredients that are used in new and exciting ways, olive jam?!?! We came here on a whim, but now we feel like we MUST return
