Austin - MATERA

Overnight in matera, we wanted to have dinner in an outside place that had a view of the matera stones. Unfortunately several locals, were not open, and we opted for this restaurant that according to some indications, is located in a privileged position for the view of the stones. we found place outside, of course the panorama you see it a little from afar, it is not to be astonished on the old town, unfortunately the road cuts in two the restaurant and the background. dinner without infamy and without praise. we ordered a lucan appetizer, based on tastes between aubergines to the parmigiana, caponata, and other tastes, good, but exceptional in my opinion, served in small separate portions, which in my opinion would be better served in a single dish. we then added two first: sausage ears (pococotta, and thick coarsely) with tomatoes.ì, and another first with dried tomatoes. all to € per head, that if the dishes had been satisfactory, there is... but without infamy and without praise, I would not return

The restaurant offers a fine menu of local dishes as well as pizza. despite the turnout, the staff was quick in the command, even if a little quick in explaining the dishes, but as I said, there were many people. slow instead the times for dessert and coffee but it is served to enjoy a little of the cool evening

We paid for coperto, that we didn’t even received. Too expensive for restaurant that you even have to pour your own wine. Pizza was good but whole experience was not worth it

If you’re looking for fresh pizza with delicious topping and bases in Matera, this is the place to go. The pizza base was so tasty and had a great crust. Huge selection of toppings and types of pizza to choose from too. The staff were lovely and friendly and eager to help. Great lunch or dinner venue with lovely views too when sitting outside.

Loved our dining experience at Austin. The view is amazing and the service and food were both very very good. We shared two starters… the typical baked peppers and bread with turnips (also typical). Then three of us had pizza and one a simple pasta dish. All the pizzas were great, more of a crunchy crust. Dessert was also great plus the recommended red wine (at a reasonable price of 24 euros). Overall a great evening
