If you want to feel less like a tourist, try this cafe. Prices are good, area is quite eventhough it is by the small market. The staff and owners are nice.

We had an amazing breakfast at this place and we came back for drinks in the afternoon. Well located and seemed to be preferred by locals.

Truly a hidden gem. Hidden in a street hood, but the atmosphere was pretty nice. Low prices, very polite and nice waitress with weak English but trying her best to make you comfy. Every piece of food, coffee or beer was delicious.

Ran across this little hole-in-the-wall cafe and it was exactly what we wanted. Great service, good food and a great price. Definitely would suggest trying the Matera bread and the bruschetta was a hit.
