Menu

The menu featured

a variety of fresh pasta dishes.

MARGO Restaurante e RAVIOLERIA

As the name MARGO Restaurante e RAVIOLERIA suggests with 'Ravioleria' in it,

the main specialty here is ravioli.

Thinking back to all the ravioli I've had across Italy,

each place offered something unique and

distinctive, so

I was really curious to taste what Matera's ravioli

would be like.

What made this place special was the fun of

being able to see and choose your fresh ravioli directly from the display.

They explained what ingredients were inside,

but since I wasn't exactly sure,

I just picked whatever caught my eye! Haha.

We chose the ravioli that had a slightly tangy cheese inside,

the second one from the right

on the display.

The Exterior

MARGO Restaurante had a clean yet

sophisticated exterior.

From the outside, it was hard to imagine

what the interior atmosphere would be like.

The Interior

As soon as you step inside,

a charming yet luxurious interior welcomes you.

It was much more opulent than I had expected.

Since it was incredibly hot outside,

the inside was pleasantly cool and comfortable.

While you shouldn't expect Korean-level air conditioning,

if you just sat still,

the temperature was quite pleasant.

The seating was also spacious,

making it perfect for a relaxed meal.

What We Ordered

First, as we were quite thirsty,

we were served wonderfully cool water.

sanbenedetto naturale.

I liked the water so much,

I actually sought it out in supermarkets afterward.

Then, our ordered main dishes began to arrive one by one.

First up was the Ravioli, which we had

customized by choosing the filling and type directly

from the display.

The cheese had a unique taste –

a slightly fermented flavor, almost like aged kimchi,

and a delightful umami kick, which made it truly captivating.

I usually find strong, pungent cheeses or

sheep's cheese difficult to eat, but I enjoyed this

without any hesitation whatsoever – it was incredibly delicious!

It was so much fun discovering a new flavor.

---

Next up was the Carbonara.

The doneness of the pasta was a little disappointing, as

the yolk seemed slightly cooked,

leaving a tiny bit of regret.

However, the rich, creamy sauce, loaded with cheese,

and the delightful chewiness of the pasta itself were excellent.

The appetizing desserts displayed in the cabinet

also caught my eye, but the pasta portions were so generous,

I was too full to try them, and I still regret it.

If you have room in your stomach,

I highly recommend trying the Tiramisu!

Its presentation was truly exceptional.

Reluctantly, we finished our meal with a strong espresso each,

to cleanse our palates.

It was truly a place we were sad to leave..

Overall Impression

✅ Excellent accessibility to the Old Town and nearby

outstanding proximity to the parking lot (Park Scotellaro)

✅ Unique aged cheese-flavored ravioli with the delightful experience of choosing flavors that suit your palate

✅ Enjoy high-quality Italian pasta in a pleasant and elegant indoor atmosphere

If you're looking for something beyond the typical tourist restaurants in Matera,

and truly want to experience delicious local cuisine,

I highly recommend it!

We stayed one night in Ostuni, our next destination,

and it was incredibly satisfying,

so I'm leaving the review link below.
