La Taverna di Umberto In Fasano

27/04/2025: Went here as a guest of a wedding. Great food. Lots of attentive staff. Amazing building and a superb venue.

24/04/2025: Given that the evaluation refers only to the restaurant. Beautiful and elegant location, modern restaurant, interesting description of the menu but expectations were disappointed: nothing to exalt, rather platter with only 1 type of cheese and only 1 type of sauce, the octopus was also beautiful to look at but less so to taste (hard and on tasteless broad bean cream, same bread of only 1 type/roll and a little "hard", well cooked pasta but without "character"), the dessert was disappointing (cold ricotta bar and dry). Maybe it was the expectation but there are many places where the food honors the place which however is and remains very beautiful. The other guests were foreigners anyway, so I conclude that perhaps ch2 is a location more for weddings or foreign customers and less for Italians accustomed to high-quality food. Friendly staff
