Los pimientos dulces, el T-bone, el queso, absolutamente todo estaba buenisimo. El ambiente en el restaurante excavado en la cueva de película. Estuvimos con niños, que comieron carne y pasta magnífica. Destaco todo del restaurante: servicio, ambiente y comida! Llegamos tarde y Pascuale y Mariella se pusieron a comer cuando estabamos acabando para no apresurarnos... repetiremos seguro cuando volvamos a Matera! El vino (tambien recomendado) estaba muy rico también!

Great experience at Baccanti - good service and ambiance. I…read moregot the pork chops for my main - the flavours of the mashed potato, peperocino, reduction and pork really worked well together. The only fall back was that the pork chop was too fatty - it was hard to cut off the layers of fat. I do wish they trimmed the chop before searing it to avoid this. The other fallback - I do wish they had served a serrated knife with the main. The wine pairing with my food was perfect. I had the bread, olive oil, salt dessert. The best dish I had here. It was an amazingly creative dish. Don't want to spoil the experience for the readers but this is a MUST order.

Working out of a cave as most places do on this hillside, the ambiance was warm and mild in a light colored, well lit cave. We ordered a glass of the local wine to compliment our pizza; Neapolitan style, with local ingredients; wow! Pairs with a local red wine and a delicious salad we were thrilled. This can easily be our daily lunch place.

Local dishes and local flavors are non like you have tried before. We ordered a large prosciutto platter with different tasting of cheese (burrata, pecorino, and another kind).
