There is something different in the air on the night of 14 August. The streets grow quieter, time slows down, and those who know where to go choose carefully. The Ferragosto 2026 dinner at Il Fagiano was created with this idea in mind: not just another event, but an evening built around the genuine pleasure of sharing good food at the table.
Spaccata di Ferragosto is Il Fagiano’s signature summer event: a rich and carefully curated culinary journey, designed for those who want to celebrate the warmest night of the year without compromising on quality. The evening begins at 8:30 p.m.
Spaccata di Ferragosto 2026 in the Itria Valley: what to expect
The evening opens with a Welcome Aperitif featuring sparkling wine and a selection of finger food: the perfect way to ease into the atmosphere and begin discovering what Il Fagiano’s kitchen has prepared for the occasion.
Then the true experience begins: Il Fagiano’s Journey of Flavours, a sequence of themed stations, each one telling a different culinary story.
The Spanish Corner serves Iberian cured meats and a paella prepared with the care it deserves. The Fisherman’s Corner is dedicated to those who love the flavours of the sea, with fresh fish and coastal-inspired dishes. The Oyster Bar is a chapter of its own, created for anyone who wishes to indulge in something elegant, fresh and distinctly briny. The Specialities Corner brings together the best of Il Fagiano’s tradition: the dishes that regular guests know and recognise.
Then comes the most authentically Apulian moment of the evening: Live Panzerotti and Focaccia Barese, fried and baked on the spot, crisp, fragrant and exactly as they should be. Finally, the French Cheese Corner completes the journey with a refined selection for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a fine fromage.
This is not simply a buffet. It is a gastronomic narrative, in which every station has its own identity, its own rhythm and its own reason for being part of the evening.
At the table: the Ferragosto dinner menu
After the culinary journey, guests take their seats. At the table, the evening changes pace and becomes more intimate.
The first course is Tagliolini with Summer Truffle: fresh pasta, an intense aroma and an apparent simplicity that conceals precise technique.
The main course is Sea Bass Fillet with Citrus Sauce and Indian Black Salt, a dish built around carefully balanced contrasts: the delicacy of the fish, the freshness of the citrus and the mineral character of the black salt.
The dinner concludes with fresh fruit and petit fours. Drinks and wines are included throughout the evening.
