Osteria Radici - GRAVINA IN PUGLIA

What a delightful find. We had just walk across the Aqueduct bridge and we’re heading back to our car when discovered this little gem. We had the most delicious pasta lunch and lovely wine. Really fresh and authentic with generous sizes. Staff were polite and attentive. The surrounding were just beautiful.

A superb place. Local menu helpfully explained. A good choice of local wine. Service was friendly. They are passionate about Gravina and proud of their food. We will certainly be back. The restaurant is very atmospheric. Candle lit caves on different levels.

We were in Italy for almost 2 months and the level of service , dedication and friendliness of waiters , owners etc were consistently so amazing ,..amongst the best anywhere....except this place . After visiting Matera , we stopped here. It’s The worst experience we ve had in Italy or anyplace for that matter. Waiter would not come near our table unless we literally waived him down. And there was only two other tables occupied . He clearly didn’t care and no interest in working, serving or doing anything above delivering food . I can’t even tell you what the food was like since the 6 of us were so upset at trying to get any service . Couldn t wait to leave .. ; do yourself a favor and say in Matera and enjoy the scenery and find a place that actually cares ...

Very nice location, on the edge of old village, with a large presence of the local “tufo” stone. Big room a little bit affected by a light system that could be improved to enhance privacy. Service was polite and professional, but table has been “messed up” by number of plates present, at the same time in a small space (partially improved by a side table added for the wine cooler). Food was very good, with traditional dishes cooked at its best. Presentation was not great but that is really a detail. Good qualoty/price ratio at the end. Recommended

Posto elegante, accogliente con cura del dettaglio e della qualità del cibo
