Pasticceria Manfredi

Nice stuff, verry delicious deserst and good drinks 👍 we had good experience💫

This pasticceria has unbelievable desserts and perfect coffee. I tried a cannoli which had an unbelievable cream inside, some kind of prosciutto and cheese pie which was very tasty as well, and a dessert (which I don’t know the name of) with pistacchio, which had the best pistacchio cream that I’ve ever tried. Unlike other reviews I’ve read just before writing mine, we did not experience any disagreement with the lady who served us and she was very friendly and helpful and she also spoke good English.

Never, ever, ever come here. The staff are extremely rude. They don’t even say “hello,” “please,” or anything of the sort. It’s obvious they don’t enjoy their job. My Italian isn’t perfect, but it’s more than good enough to place an order, greet people, and say thank you, so the language barrier cannot be used as an excuse. The customer service is awful. They treat their customers like dirt.

I agree with the reviews above. Unfortunately, the service was very unfriendly. I was the only customer in the café at the time, so it wasn’t busy, yet the atmosphere still felt cold and unwelcoming. I was charged for an extra coffee that I never ordered. I was alone and only needed one coffee, although two were brought to the table. I didn’t argue or ask for the money back, and it was never refunded. The coffee was cold, but the croissants were actually tasty. Sadly, I wouldn’t return because of the unfriendly service.

By far the best gelato we had in Matera. We tried a couple of other gelataria bit we came back here before leaving Matera. Surprisingly, they also served a great cup of cappuccino. Affordable pricing as well.
