The Lounge caffe was a welcome stop for our party of two in Matera. Located on the main…read morethoroughfare it has a covered and partially enclosed outdoor seating area. Perfect if the weather were wet or cool. On our visit it was a beautiful warm evening. We came for cocktails and dinner. There was so much food. Nibbles of chips, peanuts and cereal. Then more with added olives, then sandwiches, and bread. And our hamburger and salmon salad had not arrived. Both were delicious. To top things off a light as air cream filled confection.

I tuoi server sono chiaramente sovraccarichi e sottopagati e molto stressati; questo non è un posto per un buon servizio. Questo è un posto dove apparire eleganti, guardare le altre persone ed essere guardati.

Some were annoying and customers run away. Last nail in the coffin, I got a bill of 24,5 while I only ate a dish of 15. Bad experience, poor service, below average cuisine. I recommend not to go
