For our last night in Matera we decided to try L'acqua Sotto. It was near by and had great ratings. The staff was friendly and attentive. The stuff zucchini flowers came out hot and delicious. The salad was incredible. We thought what a great start and had high expectations for the main course. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The dishes we ordered were cold. However, we were pleased with the wait staff who instantly agreed and returned the food to be redone. When the dishes came back, my companion indicated that her dish was hot. I had ordered the pork cheeks which came with mashed potatoes, red wine gravy and sautéed chicory. The cheek was hot and tasty but the potatoes and chicory was still cold. This place has alot of pizza on the menu and the kitchen appears to do better job with the pizza orders based on the pizza orders at the other tables. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place for food other than pizza, fried food and salads. Maybe the dessert as it did look good on the other tables.
