Italiae Gustum — Restaurant in Matera

Today me and my girlfriend were looking to end the night with some authentic Italian pizza and boy did we get lucky. The staff, the setting, the food, it was all top notch. They were friendly and spoke English. We asked for recommendations and he gave us 4, 2 of which were one of the cheapest in the menu(that tells you they're not trying to rip naive tourists off). The pizzas were probably one of the best we've had and definitely the best ones we've tried in Italy. Overall a great place which deserves way more customers. Also the prices (if you take into account the quality of the food) were very low. Coperto was 2 euro and considering we're students with a relatively low budget it was well worth it. We paid 35 euro overall for 2 pizzas and 2 drinks. Would come back if we were ever in...

Had an amazing pizza and dessert here! First of all, I would like to thank the noisy group of kids making the hamburger place we visited before Italiae Gustum unbearable. If it wasn’t for you, we’d never have eaten here and missed out on what was probably the best pizza experience of our lives. The traditional pizza carbonara with mangalitza is an absolute gem. Tip: ask for a bit of ‘nduja on the side and use it here and there to spice things up. The babamisu for dessert completed the tasty experience. Such nice staff, such great food.

Amazing food, even better service! The crust of their pizza is so distinct....a very good chew, but light and bubbly, full of flavour from a slow fermentation.

Our kids (15 & 6) finished all their food and loved every bite. Beautiful setting, light music appropriate for the tone, and very tidy. Couldn't find fault in anything. Wish there was something like this...
