Ciboom - MATERA

Saw tourist menu for 15 euro so gave it à shot. Mains disappointing. Ok but I don't consider à sauvage or hamburger to be a classicisme Italian secondi. The pastas are great though. Wine is cheap at 4 euro 1/2 litre. Note there is a 1.5 euro cover pp even for tourist menu. Just go off menu as you can skip limited secondi. Salad side was just some iceberg or home fries.

This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I were visiting Tradate. We decided to go for pizza for our dinner in the neighbourhood. We don’t realise we were so lucky to bump into this restaurant. The pizza we had was simply out of this world. The round crust was soft and the cheese and ham were perfect match. So was the spaghetti vongole and the shrimp tartar.

Brilliant food, great service and very reasonably priced. This is a super little place for lunch for dinner but because it is small it does get full very quickly. The menu contains the usual pasta and pizza dishes but also does a good steak and salad. We were amused to see 'chip ' pizza on the menu!

Nice dinner with casual flare. Excellent choices of appetizers and main courses. My dish was more than I could handle.

Not many restaurants were open at 7pm so when we found that Ciboom was we decided to give it a try. It was modern but cosy with a good menu. We were served quickly and the food and wine were very good. Well located in the centre of Matera, but not expensive.
