★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ethan Strunk · Feb 2026

My food was great. I got the PENNE & VODKA SAUCE W/ PANCETTA, and my girlfriends was not and she got the fettuccine Alfredo. The Alfredo was rubbery, and had like a chemically dirt kind of taste? She couldn’t eat it at all. I love matera and I’m not sure what’s going on today. Service was a 10/10, everyone was very nice. The setting is 1000/10. It is just cozy. The food definitely could have been better but I’m looking forward to trying something new again next time!

This place made the best Italian food aside from going to Italy! The Roma pizza is perfection! The real caprise salad was delightful. The best tiramisu I've ever had. Great service, beautiful sitting area. Even a bar! It was one of the best times my family and I ate together!

We’ve had several wonderful experiences at Materra Grill over the last month and a half, and it has quickly become a favorite. Caroline and Rae Ann are an incredible behind the bar—easily the most hospitable and talented mixologists we’ve encountered. They crafted outstanding cocktails, including a perfectly balanced old fashioned and a flavored martini made with vanilla and caramel vodkas and a white chocolate liqueur. Every drink felt thoughtfully created, not rushed. While I didn’t have the opportunity to meet the chef, the kitchen absolutely delivered. They graciously allowed me to go a little rogue on the menu and created the most amazing sautéed scallops to complement their filet—an unforgettable combination. The salads are huge, fresh, and delicious, made with a spring mix that rea

I dined at Matera Grill in the Magnuson Grand Pioneer Inn and Suites on a Sunday evening in October. I was seated right away and given water and delicious “dinner rolls” with herb butter immediately. It was sooooo good! When the garlic butter grilled halibut (with two sides of my choice!) arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size - just perfect! I chose the twice baked potato and vegetable medley. All of my food was well seasoned and delicious! Although I dined until well after the restaurant had closed for the evening, I wasn’t rushed by the staff. My server was very helpful and attentive - checking back with me just enough to make me feel she cared. I recommend Matera Grill for dinner (probably any evening!).
