La Bruscetta — Restaurant in Matera

Great bruschetta, alright pasta and okay wine for very affordable prices! We got a bruschetta starter to share with 4, which were great, 4 kinds (truffel, pesto/tomato/mozzarella, Blue cheese/mortadella, roasted bell pepper), all excellent with the truffle one being the best for €10, each had a fresh pasta (€6-8), the one with tomato&ricotta was okay but nothing exciting, perhaps a bit more garlic needed, the one with sausage and ricotta was okay too, though could have used some more salt or perhaps parmesan, the best one was the chef's choice, then with bell peppers, tomatoes, croutons and straciatella. For dessert we shared the sweet bruschetta with whipped cream and (cherry?) Jam, which was good for a bite but more was definitely not needed. The red house wine was alright and very affordable. All in all a very nice place to have lunch or dinner, especially the bruschetta, a name well deserved. Bill was €52 for a big lunch for 4, wine included . Service was excellent. We came a bit late during the lunch time, at 14h15 on a Monday, so we were almost the only ones there but very happy we could still get lunch! Would definitely return for those bruschetta and some wine if it was closer by, but we were just visiting Matera...

Amazing place that is a welcome break from some of the more touristy, but less tasty, places in the Sassi.

Don’t be confused by the name—it doesn’t say la bruschetta and it looks like a gellateria. But the proprietor gave us a truly amazing meal—the local bruschetta, and amazing spinach and ricotta pasta, and the star of the show was one of the best lasagne we’ve ever had made with local materan ingredients.

We cannot recommend it highly enough, and it is on a beautiful street for people...

Su TripAdvisor il locale era valutato 26 su oltre 300 locali. In realtà sembrava di entrare in una tendopoli fatta di stuoie di canne i laterali e tavole il soffitto ambiente arrangiato con materiali di fortuna e per niente accogliente. Tavoli e sedie carine. Menu scarno composto da 3 antipasti, 3 primi e 2 secondo. Il primo scelto da noi ( per il quale poi siamo entrati) non lo facevano, in quanto primo invernale. Le patate al forno surgelate... Ma la cosa più scandalosa il coperto 2.50€ per un ambiente così arrangiato ( 3.50 per una bottiglietta piccola di cocacola)... La salsiccia a punta di coltello era abbondante e saporita. Discreto il tagliere ma non adeguato alla vastità di prodotti lucani che ben conosciamo, composto da crudo cotto e salamino e tre tipi di formaggi bene la quantità più che abbondante. Buona la mozzarella che è stata anche gentilmente integrata con altri due pezzi. Accogliente il personale in sala. Da non consigliare! L'insegna era della Bruschetta mentre sullo scontrino la regione sociale era Cristally di zucchero piazza Grande srl ( sarà cambiata...
