And now, the SECOND antipasti platter arrives!!! The "meatballs" made of bread, that classic example of Pugliese cucina povera, were the first things to disappear. Soon after, all else was demolished.....fried cheeses, a wedge of eggplant parmesan; and a couple of other tasty items.....we could have easily stopped there, but.....

MOMO, one of about a dozen fish restaurants that ring the marina in Savelletri...we were only one of a few tables when we arrived about 8pm but both the small inside dining room, and the outside terrace--filled up by 9pm--I think we were the only foreigners there last Friday night

Terrace of DA NICO; we ate indoors; it was a little too chilly the evening for outdoor dining.. We tend to boo0k for 8pm or 8:30pm; locals begin to pour in around 8:45 or so.... I think some restaurants in Matera open as early as 7:30 to accommodate the many tourists..

Outstanding filetto di suino with wine and black cherry sauce....we ate every morsel of this meal....! A welcoming restaurant with great food....I'd say it's "essential" but there are so many great spots in this city, it's so difficult to choose just a few

Filete di manzo with fried potatoes and green salad......each was excellent but we were charged for the potato even though the menu said that they accompanied the beef..the meat was very tender and very flavorful. Forget that old myth about never ordering beef in Italy, outside Florence....

Free shuttle van to LO STUZZICHINO, driven by Alessandro. We had so much fun on the drives (about 20-minutes-long) to and from the restaurant!!

I chose LIEVE'S 'pizza en pale" because it was said to be crispy and cooked for a long time at low temperatures, unlike their regular pizza. A little too thick and not crispy but flavors were good; I could only eat a quarter.
