From the moment we were greeted to the dessert everything was 100% on point. Outstanding cuisine served in a thoughtful and professional manner. Highly recommended.

You will not find a culinary experience crafted with more care and expertise than Materia, probably on the entire east coast. Lucky to have them in our area.

It won’t be long before a Michelin star is awarded. Chef Dave has elevated dining to a level of its own.

We had an excellent experience at Materia Restaurant. We had a function of 60 people for a pre-wedding celebration, the food, drinks and hospitality were amazing. Every detail was perfect and we had a great night. I would highly recommend Materia for any dining experience (I have eaten there multiple times now).

First off our server (Orlando?) and the hostess were incredibly kind and made it a very special night as we were celebrating our anniversary. Perfect service and recommendations as it was our first time. We shared an app, a salad and two pastas. Everything was delicious. Drinks were tip top. The wine selection was very impressive. We had no room left for dessert, but in a very classy move they brought out a scoop of vanilla and a Lazer etched happy anniversary chocolate. Really nice and we were very grateful for the hospitality. Sorry my pics don’t do it justice the dishes were wonderful.

It is rare to find an Italian restaurant outside of NYC that actually knows cuisine from the south and the north of Italy. I enjoyed a grilled octopus appetizer that needed only a lemon squeeze to make the dish perfect. My main course was Linguine à la Vongole which was a little salty but none the less delicious. Dessert was a panne cotta - actually better than many eateries both if if manhattan.… actually brought me back to my Lake Come trip . Just delicious - creamy with vanilla notes and topped with fresh figs..:quite frankly, heaven. I look forward to coming back to this beautiful restaurant.

The service and atmosphere is great but some of the dishes were really salty and portions are very small.

Wedding anniversary dinner, outstanding does not describe our dining experience! This restaurant deserves a Michelin star!
We had a phenomenal meal and experience at Materia this past month. As first time guests, we were very excited as we had heard about how great the restaurant is for quite some time. From the amazing service provided by Christopher Hodson, to the delicious cocktails, wine, and incredible pastas, we enjoyed every single aspect. My husband and I both agreed that the octopus may have been better than some of the grilled octopus that we had in Greece. Our favorite pasta was the Nerano. It is a summer special. The simplicity and freshness of the seasonal ingredients make for a really delicious bite. We also enjoyed that we could pick a dish or two from every section of the menu so that we could enjoy both pastas and meat dishes, and not be overwhelmingly full. Oh, and don’t skip the dessert and cappuccino! Everything we had was wonderful. We will be returning with friends for sure.

We made our reservation online. We were politely greeted and given a table in the corner of the bar. Food was beautifully decorated on our plates and was delicious! Drinks and dessert were outstanding. I wished I had ordered my own dessert! We will be back!

We visited for our 25th Anniversary tonight. This venue has so much history for us. First as LaCupola with Frank Rosa who was a host extraordinaire, we celebrated so many events. And now as Materia re dreamed by David & Michael DiStazi . A truly world class food destination. I have been privileged to have been invited to the soft opening in 2021 and with every visit have been more and more impressed! David’s art & craft never disappoints, his presentation and service is fit for royalty ! The cuisine is beyond perfect.!

This was our first time dining here, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Our server, Chris, was exceptionally knowledgeable and guided us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and impeccably clean.
We started with the grilled octopus—perfectly tender with a rich, smoky undertone that was absolutely delicious. The asparagus dish was light and crisp, complemented beautifully by a bright hint of lemon. The lasagna special was packed with flavor, and the braised short rib ravioli was a standout—the beef melted in our mouths. The tagliatelle Bolognese was equally impressive, with tender pasta and a deeply flavorful sauce.
To finish, we indulged in the panna cotta and tiramisu, paired with cappuccinos. Every bite was exquisite.
Highly recommend—an outstanding culinary experience from start to finish.
