Bar Caffè Tripoli — Restaurant in Matera

Really bad experience - and sounds like it’s consistent with others.

All staff were just plain rude and unhelpful.

We ordered two cokes and sat outside. Literally as soon as we sat down, they walked out and said they were closing. They could see we had a a baby with us and my wife was feeding her too.

Why not tell us when we ordered that they were closing? Give us the option to go elsewhere. We had to down our drinks as they cleaned up around us. No ‘sorry, you’ve got 10 minutes’, or general common sense.

Don’t go here until owner sorts his staff out on...

The worst experience I've had in Matera.

I didn't even get to order. I was met by a rude waiter who dismissed me instantly by snapping "no table service" when all I'd said was "Ciao". Going inside to order, the rude man at the counter made no attempt to understand me, and got angry when I tried to translate that I wanted a cafe-latte with ice. I know it can be frustrating when there is a language barrier, but I attempted to speak Italian, and I tried to stay friendly throughout the exchange.

Don't waste your time at this...

Little place, kind of rudish waiter, but the problem isn’t about the place pr whatever; the problem is that the bar is full of fascist imagery. As a bi guy, I haven’t liked very much to read “faggot” on the plates near the bathroom; even more, I don’t think anyone would like to read “before touching the girls, pay your fee” in the bar where they are eating. The waiter replied to out inquires saying that the plates “have no particular meaning, just for fun”. No fun has been had by me...
