Italian Food Review – Eating Local Pasta and Dessert in Matera, Italy (VIDEO)
Come join us for an Italian food review as we try eating local pasta and dessert in Matera, Italy at The Cave Sassi Restaurant (La Grotta Nei Sassi Ristorante) serving Cucina Tipica Materana. Located just two minutes away from our airbnb apartment we beat the crowds by arriving as soon as it opened at 12:30 for lunch in Matera. Instead of getting a full course Italian meal we opted for just wine, pastas and desserts. It ended up being a great lunch and great introduction for us to Materana and Basilicata food.

Italian Food Review – Eating Local Pasta and Dessert in Matera, Italy Travel Video Transcript:
Alright guys so it is time for another food video. This time coming to you from Matera, Italy. And yes, check out the views. We are showing them off again because we just can’t seem to get tired of them. Yeah, we don’t get tired of them that is for sure. It is so amazing.
Um but anyways we’re in the region of Basilicata and we found a restaurant that specializes in Materana cuisine (Cucina Tipica Materana). Yeah, and one thing I’ve learned here in Italy is that you never say you’re having Italian food to an Italian. Because the food really varies across the country so it is more about the region you know. Trying regional dishes. So that is what we’re going to be doing. One of the most highly recommended restaurants in this city is just like around the corner from our airbnb so we’ve scouted it out. Two minute walk. Yeah. Haha. Seriously. Yeah. And it just opened a few minutes ago right so we’re hoping to be the 1st customers there. 12:30. Let’s go eat.
Okay so we are all settled inside the restaurant. This place is called La Grotta Nei Sassi Ristorante (The Cave Sassi Restaurant). And guess what? We’re in a cave. We’re in a cave. Of course. Like most of the buildings in this town so that is pretty cool. We’ve ordered our drinks already. We got some sparkling water and we also went to order red wine and then didn’t have any. At least not the house red. They have red they just don’t have the house red. And I’ve never seen anyone’s face drop so quickly like Sam’s did. When they said there is no red of the house wine. He was just like I’m too cheap to order the other stuff. Haha.
So we the other one cost like double so we decided to go for the rose instead.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

So crazy with the portion size compared to north america…this is the amount we should be eating
go to Bologna
2 motherfuckers, already drunk for 250 ml of fkn wine… e no SIESTA, noi diciamo la contro-ora
Did you know that pasta was invented by China??, when Marco Polo came back from China after many of his trips he brought pasta to Italy and then Italians incorporate it in their gastronomy
Italians make you pay the "coperto" the seating, cause we don't have any tips culture in Italy.
Also, please, please, i don't want to be a cunt, but it's PistaKKio, cch and ch in italian sound like a K.
Hai assaggiato la brasciola…..
If u came back in italy u have to visit Puglia it s amazing
The 2 euros each are for "coperto", wich includes the bread and the service.
Remember that the "tip" is not a thing in italy, sure you can give the tip if you like, but it's not a thing for us.
We just have the "coperto".
Bye
The two euros they charged you is called "coperto", and it's actually for the cutlery, dishes, tablecloth and napkins you're using, but it is also for the bread.
What's with the man singing the English song in the background on Italian restaurant?
