Umami Beer

Assisi

LoginSave

A far cry from the medieval-styled wine bars up the road in Assisi, this modern roadside outfit is all about the uncomplicated pleasures of beer and burgers. Owner and expert beer sommelier Roberto oversees a choice selection of Italian and international craft brews, while the kitchen cooks up mountainous burgers forged from top Chianina beef and veggie substitutes (€9 to €15).

Umami Beer is in Santa Maria degli Angeli, 4.3km from Assisi's hilltop centre as the crow flies. Reservations recommended.
