Restaurant and Wine Cellar - Ristorante san Pietro barisano

Restaurant

Our gastronomic itinerary is able to refresh even the most tired palates.
Matera’s cuisine is simple and genuine with pronounced yet balanced flavours.
Its cornetto bread, caciocavallo cheese, “l’uschiante” (sharp aged ricotta), stewed turnips, chickling pea puree, baked orecchiette, roasted lamb with potatoes, “la crapiata” (a dish of legumes prepared on 1st August).
All of this and much more, paired with an Aglianico DOC wine will welcome you to the land of the Sassi.

San Pietro Barisano restaurant is in the heart of the Sassi. The interior of the restaurant reflects the beauty of the location and its traditional structure as a cave-dwelling has been further renovated with a refined and elegant design

Our restaurant’s cuisine is a reworking of Matera’s age-old cooking traditions. It makes use of locally-sourced organic ingredients and showcases Basilicata’s most delicious and genuine products.

Wine Cellar
What better place to house a wine cellar than in a natural cave carved out of the rock? Our wine cellar boasts 300 labels, all carefully selected to offer our diners the best wines from our region.
We also have a selection of Italian wines that covers all of Italy’s main wine-producing regions, as well as wines from France and Spain.

“The restaurant’s philosophy is to use traditional Lucanian cuisine as the base for recipes and then rework them skilfully and with great expertise, thus making this restaurant one of the most sought-after by gourmets and food connoisseurs who flock to the area.”
