    Lovely ambience and nice service, but the chef must had been away as the food was really nothing special. Presentation lacking too.

    A very delicious and refined dish — as the server said, local flavors in new “arrangements.” Exceptionally professional, attentive, yet unobtrusive service. Very pleasant atmosphere.

    The food and service was outstanding. We were very lucky and had an outside table with an excellent view. We dined quite early for Italy at 8pm and hence was fairly quiet when we arrived, but when we left it was packed. The star of the show is the quality of food, it is excellent. But the location makes it even more special . If you visit Matera and want a quality dining experience then book here.

    We had a great dinner at the occasion of our 30th wedding anniversary. The degustation menu was superb with some interesting combinations of tastes. The wine pairing was great and led to a few discoveries. Service was fine as was the price. 60€ fur such a menu is a lot of value for your money.

    We had an amazing and flawless experience from start to finish. The ambiance was quite elegant and inviting, the dishes are beautifully crafted with exceptional flavors, and the service was impeccable. Every detail, from the presentation to the attentive staff, makes this a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable meal in Matera.

    Excellent food, some of it in the kind I never tasted before. This is one of these restaurants that the focus on local produce added to the experience and flavor. The service was lovely and the ambiance if eating under the streets of Matera complemented the experience all the more. Surprisingly, out of all the foods, we enjoyed the salad most, which speaks volumes in such a wonderful dinner. I would come back again!

    Overall a really great experience. We had a starter, first and second course. The dishes were very tasty and creatively done. Presentation was nice and service very friendly. As we are note very proficient with Basilikata wines, we described which type of wine we wanted to have and got a perfect match. There was little to nothing to complain. Thanks for a great evening!

    We were sitted outside and it’s was fresh. With an outside heater, it would better for the experience. Also, the food was ok, not at the level rated by others guests.

    Found this from the reviews when looking for a special place for husband's birthday. What a find! Superb food, beautifully cooked and presented, with friendly and knowledgeable staff and a very relaxed unstuffy atmosphere. Excellent value too including wine pairings. Go if you can, you won't be disappointed.

    The restaurant setting in old Matera was excellent. Down 10 meters in a cave with plenty of space and ambient lights. Only 10-11 tables in total made the experience even more private. The tasting menu was so good! Well worth a visit. Highlt recommend!

    The food and service here were excellent! If you want something other than pasta they have some fun options like the Indian Bao although the pasta is fantastic too. Try the ravioli!

    Interesting menu, creative dishes, such are ceviche style taco’s and imaginative desserts. Quite hard to find, down stairs from the main drag. Well worth a visit!!

    This restaurant, with unique decor and located in a cave below ground, exceeded our expectations. The service was fantastic and attentive. Amuse bouches were delivered at the start and end of the meal, allergens clearly marked on the menu, and gluten-free needs managed

    Wow, wow, wow! A-ma-zing! Christmas Eve fixed price menu (we chose fish) and it was incredible! From the food, the staff, the service and the wine we could not have asked for more...beating many Michelin star restaurants we've been too!

    The products are amazing. The savoir-faire is evident. The creativity is astounding. That alone should make for a perfect dining experience. But Tierra doesn't stop there: the service is next level, and by that, I don't mean staff being able to serve you well and give good recommendations (they are). Tierra - with Roberta and Domenico steering the vessel - is a visceraly human experience if you wish to make it happen. As soon as we finished our first meal here, we knew we'd be back, and since we've been there a second time on our last night in the city, the only we can do is wholeheartedly recommend Tierra until we make it back to Matera. Thanks for a wonderful experience raggazzi(e) ????

    Did not find it as good as expected considering previous reviews and price. We were 3 and no one really loved the food. Service was great and the place is really nice.

    Very creative. Fusion of traditional Italian with Asian notes. Servers pleasant and helpful. A bit austere for ambience but food made up for it. Mmmmmm
