Radino Wine Bistrot & Cigar Room — Restaurant in Matera

My husband and I had the immense pleasure of dining in this fine establishment. We were staying in Italy for about a month and without question, this was THE BEST restaurant that we dined in. We arrived to a beautiful cave restaurant which is beautifully appointed. The wait staff are kind, patient and knowledgeable about the menu. We selected both a red wine and a white wine and both are curated from their private vineyard and beyond our wildest dreams in quality. The bread, which is historically exclusive to Matera is beyond your wildest dreams. It is served with their olive oil produced exclusively for them. My husband started with the pasta prepared with local sausage, my husband described the pasta course as one of the top three pasta courses that he has ever had in his lifetime. I had the creamy pasta, the server brought over a beautifully designed box and opened the box to present a lovely truffle. She proceeded to shave fresh truffle over my pasta and I have NEVER enjoyed such a meal in my lifetime. My husband had the veal cheek with saffron mashed potatoes. The veal cheek was so delicate and delicious and the potatoes were the creamiest he has ever had. For dessert, I had the deconstructed cannoli which was light as air and creamy. My husband had tiramisu served in an Italian espresso pot and my husband said that it was in the top 3 tiramisus that he has ever had. If you are a "Foodie" you MUST visit this restaurant. It is a FIVE STAR restaurant without the FIVE STAR prices. Truly an extraordinary dining experience and beautiful atmosphere. A true Matera gem. Perfect for a beautiful evening out or a special event, just all...

Didn’t even try the food, I believe it’s good no doubt. But the atmosphere from the waiters, to be specific the tall skinny dude with glasses. That dude got mad because I lifted my hand when I called him, and asked him to come so I can ask him face to face something about the menu. He didn’t came even tho he looked at me, and crossed our table couple of times. No response, then the other waiter came a girl and was nice. But me and my girl didn’t like the emptiness inside and weird energy we got so we got up and left. Didn’t order anything, just looked at the menu for 10/15min inside. Then when we got up to leave. That dude, called up on me while we were leaving and said stuff like, where are you going, you looked at the menu outside, why did you even sit. Then when I started explaining myself with literally one sentence. He interrupted me and said why do you lift your hand when you call me. Bro like mind your business … then he started to be even louder and told me people are waiting outside to sit inside. Just to clarify the room we were inside had 4 more tables with nobody sitting, also other rooms with free tables. Outside the restaurant maybe 8/12 people were waiting, but they were waiting to sit outside… Id very much like that dude to mind his own business and act like a waiter who needs to sell the italian story and be polite. I hope the...
