This was our favorite meal during our 3 night stay in Matera. The pasta was amazing. The service was very kind. I enjoyed seeing the chefs cooking the meals through the glass.

Hands down this is the best food i have had in Italy. One of the best truffle Pasta i have had in a while. Everything was well done. The ambience was good and the staff were friendly and gave us really good suggestions!

Had a wonderful lunch here with my family after a long guided tour in the city centre visiting the Massi. The concept is of a “tavola calda”, which means food has been cooked earlier that day and you go to the counter to pick the dish you want to eat. They then heat it up for you. This was perfect for us as the waiting time for the food was almost zero. Everything we ordered was delicious and service was very kind. Highly recommended for a high quality meal served quickly. We were 4 people and I noticed that it could also be a good option for larger groups.

Wow, this is beyond expectation! Such lovely pasta dishes, freshly made in front of your eyes. All exactly right, highest quality ingedients and preparation. Can recommend highly.

Such a hidden gem. The truffle pasta and ravioli were soooo good. I think this may have been one of my favourite pastas in Italy… it really hit the spot. The waitress was insanely sweet and attentive. We also were soo lucky to randomly be dining with an American celebrity!!! He’s a huge name. We all played it cool in the restaurant but it was definitely an unforgettable experience along with unforgettable food. Thank you!

I recently dined at Kapunto and had an exceptional experience! The tagliatella fresca was hands-down one of the best pasta dishes I've had on my trip to Italy - perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The burrata as a starter was also delicious and the wine the server recommended was perfect. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant if you go to Matera.

We had lunch at Kapunto — what a delicious experience! The ravioli and tagliatelle were incredible, and we especially enjoyed the rich, flavorful sauces. The staff was friendly and helpful, recommending the best dishes to try. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!
