Altereno Cafe In Matera

Historic restaurant with stunning views of Matera's famous caves.

Nice owner, great for some drinks

A wonderful place for lunch outside, we ate very well, delicious and very fresh salads. The view is incredible, the service very good. I don't think there is another place with such a magical atmosphere!

Piece of heart, in the heart of the Sassi, close to the Murgia, super quality and top staff 🔝

In a city where every single view is spectacular the view from Altereno Café is unique. Enjoying the view of the river deviding the city from the wilderness as the first dwellers of the place might have seen it while drinking a glass of fresh wine at subset and learning from owners and locals who have been there for 6 generations is simply a highlight in Matera.

Beautiful view from there. Kind and friendly staff and owner. Worth to visit.

We stopped for drinks and only wanted a simple lunch - and this was the perfect cafe for us. Not knowing the relatively simple exterior hides behind it an amazing view and a wealth of family and Materan history, the menu is simple and the food is excellent. We had local, toasted/grilled bread with cheese, salumi and sundried tomatoes. All the staff were helpful and the owner was just brilliant to talk to. What a great lunchtime! Thank you!

We were just looking for a place to have a cold beer at for no more than 20 mins as a stop in between sight seeing. Not only did we end up staying for almost 2 hours, but we visited it a second time. Impeccable service, table in the shade, great view, and very friendly service - not to mention great snacks on the house :) 10/10, lovely terrace!!

This place is located in a very old monastary. We went here for drinks and sat here the entire afternoon. The view is extremely nice and the service is very well. We even went back a second time! Definitely recommend!

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing terrace and view.
