Well, this was an incredible surprise, a gem hidden in this gem of the city! It is one of the best cocktails places we’ve been around the world We were walking around beautiful Matera, going past tens of lovely restaurants and bistros, when we saw Area 8. At first we only stopped to take some photos, as we instantly liked the vibe, but those seconds taking photos sold us and decided to stay. Best decision! The whole place is a vibe and each tiny detail is well thought, from the placemats with slang to use in Area 8, to a Mickey Mouse plate, the cocktail in mug, the funny coasters, all the cute and cool wall decorations. We ordered an appetiser platter for 2 and were not disappointed. All classic dishes - cheese bullets, guacamole, hummus and burrata were reinvented with surprising flavours. The bread in a mushroom shape was also delicious. The atmosphere was incredible, music was eclectic and perfectly chosen. When in Matera Area...

Read some great reviews about Area 8 and I wasn't disappointed. Had a bit of time to kill before dinner so decided to check this spot out. They've got lots of creative food and cocktail offerings on the menu! We got an Aperitivo Area 8 (€13) which was a selection of cold cuts, cheeses, and their version of crostine (thinly sliced and toasted bread with a slight charred taste, drizzled olive oil and oregano sprinkles - super interesting, loved it!) that came with a drink (we got an aperol spritz). Service was friendly and prompt. They've put thought into the space as well, loved the ambience and characteristic features of their alfresco area. All in all - would happily...

AREA8 Matera 3.5* E’ veramente un dilemma per me recensire questo locale perchĆ© inevitabilmente non posso scindere fra dove mi trovo ed il servizio riscontrato "Locascion diesci" (vedere foto, l’arredamento interno ĆØ di un ricercatezza ed originalitĆ  incredibile fra cinema, stazioni, biliardi ed arredamento d’epoca) "Musica di sottofondo diesci" (un deejay all’esterno collocato sul retro di un pezzo di furgoncino wolswagen d’epoca mette pezzi anni 70/80) ā€œOriginalitĆ  del menu diesciā€ (su un 45 giri devi scannerizzare un QR code che ti rimanda ad alcune proposte interessanti) E qua inizia il dilemma: come posto per sorseggiare un drink ĆØ un 5 stelle pieno perchĆ© in un posto simile con musica simile ĆØ un piacere bere una birra o un cocktail. Noi però mangiamo qualcosa e attendiamo un'ora e mezzo per farlo (miniburger 5, humus con peperoni cruschi 3,5, chips di pane con stracciatella e basil mayo 3*): io opterei per un ā€œaperitivo rinforzatoā€ (4 mini portate compreso il bere) da 17 euro ma il gentile cameriere mi avvisa che ā€œnon mi conviene fare l’aperitivo perchĆ© ci sarebbe un’ora da aspettare… meglio ordinare le singole portate che ĆØ più veloceā€; accetto il suo consiglio e ordiniamo le singole portate; dopo un’ora ancora non vedo niente mentre nei tavoli accanto arrivati dopo vedo arrivare il cibo, quindi qualcosa deve essersi incastrato in cucina… chiedo almeno di avere qualcosa da sgranocchiare nell’attesa (cosa che avrebbero potuto fare spontaneamente) e mi portano un paio di ciotole con taralli ed olive; dopo 90 minuti arriva il cibo ed anche una birra offerta (in ritardo pure quella eh eh eh) per il disagio (cosa che porta la valutazione da 1 a 2) La media fra location/menu/musica (5), cibo (4), conto (4) e servizio (2) ĆØ fra il 3 e il 4, metto 4 d’incoraggiamento sperando sia stata una...

I know, I know, I’m starting to sound like a broken record about just how mind-bogglingly, tear-inducingly beautiful Matera is. But, it’s not just worth visiting for the views. In between gawping at its splendour and taking a bajillion photos of every corner, there’s actually a fair bit to do and see in the city. I’ve compiled a few of my favourite experiences, things to do, eat and see in Matera: THINGS TO DO: - Matera has a number of ancient cave churches dotted around the Sassi, filled with frescos and other fascinating historic details. - You can also visit old cave homes which have been converted into museums, to experience how inhabitants used to live. - Casa Noha is a converted 16th century home in the Sassi that has been turned into a multimedia exhibition telling the history of Matera - Stay in a cave hotel to really appreciate the historical dwellings that make the city so unique. I stayed in Caveoso Hotel, and some other good looking options are Aquatico Cave Luxury Hotel, Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita, and Sant’Angelo Luxury Resort. - Matera overlooks a dramatic gorge, and it’s a great hiking route for a spectacular view back over the city. I didn’t have time on my trip, but it’s on the bucket list for next time! DINING AND DRINKING: - Zipa Cafe, a must visit cafe and cocktail bar built into the rocks - La Lopa, a cosy, rustic traditional restaurant serving up hearty local fare - Regiacorte, a chic fine dining spot offering spectacular terrace views - 5 Lire Matera, a quick serve pizza joint with a balcony overlooking the Sassi - Area 8, an achingly hip multi-purpose venue that serves up food and drink, as well as DJ sets and live entertainment. Wes Anderson has been here, so if that’s not a seal of approval I don’t know what is. - Crialoss Cafe for a spritz with panoramic views Let me know if you have any other Matera recommendations, or what else you’d like to know! #italiait #visititaly #visititalia #italytravel #italy_vacations #italy_destinations #italyholiday #travelitaly #uktravelblogger #matera #materatravel #materaitaly #visitmatera #europe_vacations #europedestinations italy travel destinations, matera italy travel
