10/10Tasting menus are always interesting but what made it really unique is the fact you are able to select which dishes you’d like for each course. It is also highly recommended to do the wine pairing throughout as they have a lovely selection. The way they plate their dishes really elevates the experience and taste.

8/10I’ve given up Michelin * restaurant these few years. But I was in one of the amazing city Matera and led me to this restaurant when I browsed Matera. To my surprise, the foods were amazing and I got the reservation by myself not by AE.

9/10Very nice service, booked it for the atmosphere and possibility to eat i a cave. The food was not 10 out of 10. The black Pizza looked stunning but tasted very bland. The starters on the little caves tasted also quite normal. I loved the meat pork and also the dessert. I would not come back.

9/10It’s amazing to have such a high quality restaurant in a place , like Matera, known 40 years ago as “ the shame of Italy” (since it was extremely poor and dirty). Nevertheless, I think we should have the flexibility as a couple to decide a dish for each person, it’s impossible for one person to have a fish, and for the other to have meat.

7.5/10The little restaurant is very charming. Very nice sitting in front of the kitchen. Good service , the team was very welcoming and well trained. We tried the set menu in 5 courses with wine pairing. Overall it’s a nice experience, really loved the appetizers and the pasta with lobster. The risotto was nice also. The last kiss was an experience on his own but as a dessert it didn’t meat our expectations. Overall we have ok wine but no Wahouuuu effect except the Italian Chardonnay and the dessert wine. I guess that’s for the price of the wine pairing I would have expect better options. As a general comment I would say that we are happy to discovered this place but it might be a bit pricy for a one star Michelin and more important I’m missing the one dish that made this place special.

5/10This is an overpriced restaurant with disappointing food quality. There are better starred restaurants around.

9/10Very nice ambient in a cave and very attendive staff. To choose the menue and to "reduce" the couses if you don't want to eat 10 cousese is "difficult" because all the options sounds very nice. As usual the food in Italy is not served as hot as in Austria and it is a little bit less "tasty" but beneath that, it was excelent.

6/10As a newly Michelin-rated Michelin restaurant to Matera for 2023, our expectations were high, but sadly the food did not meet our expectations especially after comparing it to our dining experiences in Milan, Bari and Naples which have the same one- star ratings. There were a few hits but more so, many of the dishes lacked the Michelin quality we have come to expect. Presentation was commendable with attractive dishes presented on equally attractive platings. The ambience was very appealing as you are welcomed to a bright cave with modern yet minimalist styling. We ordered the 10-course Chef's tasting menu, however we felt there wasn't always a harmonious flow from one course to the other with several back to back carbohydrate-heavy dishes. The serving staff was quite pleasant but at times not as attentive as one would expect for a Michelin rated restaurant.

10/10This place was stellar. We felt that everything revolving around the dining experience was intentional and thoughtful. Though a nicer fine dining place, theres was still an element of fun and exploration. The food is really creative and tasty. Highly recommended for a date night, anniversary or special occasion.

10/10It was not just a meal but a journey. Art science ang grace in one. One my best dining experiences. The service, the vision, the tastes and stories.... It feels more like a gallery than a restaurant. Every dish is presented like its expensive piece of art at auction

9.5/10Great food, innovative and creative. The service was excellent, wine recommendation a hit - in short, an excellent dinner well fitting to the one Michelin star and perhaps on the way to a second.
