Cantuccio — Restaurant in Matera

I asked some information about the pasta, if it had just tomato or tomato sauce (no extravagant request) and the male writer responded very rudely that it was just tomatoes. When I added if I could have added some tomato sauce as well (still not an extravagant or demanding request) he ROLLED HIS EYES AT ME AND SNORTED, told me he couldn’t add tomato sauce to other ingredients (cheese and tomato pieces. What? How is that not possible) but he could make a pasta just with tomato sauce. So I got a terrible pasta with industrial tomato sauce that was super salty and just...
