We landed in Matera on a very extreme weather day, plus it was Sunday so seem like everything was deserted & then we found only this place open around the other restaurant that our hotel recommended.
Interiors has some nice & authentic appeal, with some history.

We ordered still water, but it had an odd taste to it. Realised by the end of the meal that it tasted like a very flat sparkling water. They did change it, but by that time we’d finished the meal and dessert.
Service was on the whole polite enough. But at times a touch abrupt to the point of being rude, and cold and impersonal though-out.
On the whole, very disappointed. Wouldn’t return, and...
