I Sapori Senza Glutine - Matera, Province of Matera

Authentic gluten free Italian dinner - pizza & pasta was fresh and tiramisu was the best I’ve tasted, it’s a must try. Cute spot with great service. Was a little wait due to a few groups arriving at the same time but each group was catered for with care. Great people and amazing food!!

My wife (who is coeliac) and I visited this place earlier this week. We liked it so much in fact, we ate there twice. Superb gluten free dining with plenty of options. Nice atmosphere and the gentleman serving us with so welcoming and friendly.
If you are looking for a nice gluten free meal while visiting Matera, definitely give this place a visit.

I’m gluten intolerant which makes travelling in Italy a bit difficult sometimes. To come in a restaurant and be able to order anything on the menu was absolutely amazing. The bruschetta was so delicious, the pasta tasted like heaven, and my boyfriend loved the pizza. The bread was even fantastic, and dessert was phenomenal. I honestly can’t rave about this place enough. If you’re gluten intolerant you HAVE to go here.

Know that this review should be seen in the context of gluten free places. If this was a normal restaurant I would have given it 2 stars. Obviously the food is not as good as food with gluten however it is good enough that you forget the food is gluten free. Onwards to the review. Overall I would recommend coming back to this place but mainly for the wine and a slice of the cheesecake.

Starters
Once you have ordered the dish from the menu you are presented with a basket of gluten free bread. There is no dipping included, such as olive oil and the bread itself is dry so I would recommend skipping that basket of bread and drink the house wine instead, while waiting for the dishes.

Dinner
I had a pizza and my partner had a pasta dish (see images). The pizza was good however I would have wished for some more toppings and the tomato/cheese ratio was too much tomato for me. But that's a personal preference. The crust has a good texture if you like thin and crisp. The pasta was freshly cut and easily absorbed the tomato based sauce. My partner said it was a good but simple dish.

Dessert
After you have finished the dishes the waiter will ask you if you want their dessert. Since this (and the house wine (red) ) was by far the best part of this experience I would recommend saying yes. Portion size is good enough for 2 to share one dessert.

Drinks and service
The house wine was very drinkable. It was fruity and not sour at all. Even my partner, who usually don't want to have wine due to the acidity and dryness, enjoyed half a glass of this house wine. The overall service is good and you never feel pressurised into ordering. The noise level is quiet/normal and it really makes for an overall better experience.

Food was delicious with some special twists on classics.
Lovely service, knowledgeable about all ingredients and willing to adjust for certain allergies.
Super relaxed atmosphere.

The food looks amazing but honestly we waited 30 minutes to be acknowledged or get any water/drinks ordered. By this stage we decided to leave so unfortunately didn’t get to try the food! Understand that they were short staffed but even just a nod to say they would be with us soon would have helped. Tried to go back the next day to buy some focaccia and the card machine wasn’t working so still didn’t get to try any of their GF bread. As a coeliac was disappointed!

Insanely delicious gluten free food. The bread was so soft and fluffy, and the steak was honestly like eating velvet. Would eat here every day if I could!

Wonderful all gluten free restaurant! The foccacia was the highlight for us!! So yummy! I’m so glad I got the opportunity to eat foccacia while we were in Italy. And the man who runs the restaurant is so sweet. He really made the whole experience special.
