Apluvia bistrò&lounge In Monopoli

28/02/2024: I was in this reception room in the summer period last year, I must say that the location is very beautiful and characteristic, even when cutting the cake we passed by a small path where there were cherry trees and you could eat them, the staff kind, but unfortunately I found some things that left me disappointed like the aperitif in the garden among the vineyards, the appetizers pl after the arrival of 80 people out of 120 130 guests had already finished only the welcome drink remained but without appetizers afterwards having asked the waiters who told us the heat is coming, I was expecting who knows what goodness, but only the battered vegetables arrived, it seems really poor to me for a wedding, furthermore the dishes for the buffet were very small to taste everything you had to make many small plates dessert and many people had difficulty bringing it to the table, no waiter helped the elderly, in the end there was also a buffet of sweets and fruit, but the bride and groom hadn't even been served the cake because the waiters had brought in everything, because the bride and groom were to deliver the wedding favors it was in the evening, then not to mention that there was no possibility for those who don't eat raw fish to have it cooked, I was told it can't be cooked only raw it is there, so in conclusion I didn't eat it, the the food was still good and delicious, the bread at the table was scarce, very farmhouse style and not like a reception room then the mise en place at the tables was not elegant, rustic I would say, certainly characteristic but not elegant, plus it was a bit cramped at these long tables, very small internal bar service, and if I remember correctly the coffee was in pods like at home or on a farm. It's a shame because the place is large and has good car parking

30/10/2023: The place is charming, the service perfect, the food is very good. To try and try again.
