Baccus - MATERA

Recommended by apartment manager. Empty at 7:30 when they opened (better rated places near our apartment were booked up). Nice cave environment, English spoken, helpful, frriendly staff. Good wine list by the bottle, not so much by the glass. The primi’s were great, we had one Bavette in cheese sauce that was outstanding, Orchiette with turnip tops was also very good (basically bitter greens – local specialty). Secundi’s were not as good. I had sausage with mushrooms and tomatoes. Sauce was tasty, but the sausage was like plain ground pork, not much flavor. Wife had Pork medalions in potato foam. Bland. Nothing bad with either dish, just bland. Dessert was as good as the primi’s – puff pastry with crème. Heavenly light pastry with great flavor and a sugar crunch, the crème was almost unnecessary. Delish! They were pretty busy by the time we left at 9:30 – oh, and we saw a marriage proposal/or re-proposal at the table next to us, which was cool.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and turned out to be excellent. the service was prompt and very good. The food was excellent and the atmosphere warm and busy.

Great food. Service was excellent. Definitely recommend. Such an incredible spot. Privileged to be here.

We had lunch in this place on advice from some friends and we can only confirm the quality and good cuisine of this restaurant. we had the opportunity to taste more delicious with the starter of the house, and then traditional dishes. really good, all accompanied by a good wine recommended by the waiter himself who was excellent. really great value quality price.

Good, authentic kitchen. it lacks salt, however. the orchidee somewhat taste-neutral. the tomaten des cabrese partly still green. prices absolutely in order. most appropriate at the weekend.
