Il Pettolino

The service is disgusting, seems like the person really hates his job. Atmosphere is also bad, even though all the doors were closed, somehow the cold wind was blowing all the time. It was really cold inside. The food - they didnt have at least 5 dishes ( ~40% of the menu). Very bad experience!

Terrible Experience: Tiny Portions, Rude Staff, Overpriced, Ugly Location, and Reservation Canceled Rating: 1/5 I don’t usually write negative reviews, but my experience at "Il Pettolino" was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn others who might be considering dining here. Minuscule Portions: The portion sizes are absolutely ridiculous. The dishes served were so small that we initially thought it was a joke. The main course, which should have been the highlight of the meal, was barely a bite. After spending a considerable amount of money, we left the restaurant still hungry. It is unacceptable to pay such high prices for portions that feel more like a snack than a full meal. Poor Food Quality: The quality of the food was mediocre, nothing memorable. Given how small the portions were, I at least expected them to be flavorful and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the dishes were bland and lacked creativity. The ingredients didn’t seem fresh, and the presentation was uninspired. Honestly, we would have preferred a simple, home-cooked meal. Rude Staff: The staff was shockingly rude. When we politely expressed our dissatisfaction with the portion sizes, the waiter responded in an extremely unprofessional manner, even yelling at us. Such behavior is unacceptable and only served to further ruin our evening. Reservation Canceled and Review Blocked: To make matters worse, the restaurant canceled our reservation on TheFork even though we showed up as scheduled. This seemed like a deliberate attempt to prevent us from leaving a negative review. Since we paid by card and lost the receipt, we couldn’t even submit our feedback on Google to warn others. It’s clear that this restaurant isn’t interested in improving or listening to customer feedback but rather in hiding critical reviews. Overpriced: The prices are outrageously high for what’s offered. Paying such exorbitant amounts for low-quality food, tiny portions, and terrible service feels like a complete rip-off. There is absolutely no value for money, and I honestly feel cheated. Ugly Location: The location is equally disappointing. The ambiance is cold, uninviting, and lacks any charm. The furniture is outdated and poorly maintained, creating a depressing atmosphere. Given the high prices, I expected at least a pleasant environment, but that wasn’t the case. The location was the final nail in the coffin of an already awful experience. Conclusion: Avoid this restaurant at all costs. There are plenty of other places where you can find quality food, reasonable portions, polite service, a pleasant atmosphere, and, most importantly, respectful and transparent treatment. I will never return to "Il Pettolino," and I strongly recommend that others steer clear as well. What was supposed to be an enjoyable evening turned into a nightmare, and I’m just grateful it’s finally over.

I loved the place, our waiter was very nice and helful. They can speak english and go the extra mile to help you choose the rigth meal and wine

Excellent lunch. The food has very good exactly the typical matera pasta. It was also a good view and terrace.

Great meal here and great service. They service in particular was amazing. They went out of their way to make me feel at home, suggest dishes and take care of things.
