Il Mare nei Sassi In Matera

21/08/2024: The food and the selection was amazing!!! The quality of the food and the speed of preparation was very high - Thankyou. However, The staff were very ‘cold’, unfriendly and not welcoming. This was a shame. They never smiled or made us feel welcome. Maybe it’s because you order your food via an iPad……it is very efficient, but the staff need customer service skills training/advice. Anyway - the food was excellent.

12/08/2024: Three stars are too much but the place is suggestive from the point of view of the location as it is located inside a cave in the historic center of Matera, but as regards the reference to Japanese culture absolutely nothing, in fact it seems like a simple trattoria with chairs and plastic tables... Pretty good food but not with much variety on the menu but overall not bad. The sore point, unfortunately, is the service which, despite being quick in preparation, when you reach a certain quantity of orders (we saw that they checked on the tablet)... the waiter comes and asks you if you have finished eating and takes away your dishes even though the kitchen is still open. You basically feel like they're kicking you out. For prices two all you can eat with a bottle of wine €77.70. Honestly we will never go back again.
