This was almost my best meal in Bergamo. Was wondering around looking for some where to eat and saw a small sign in the window saying Lunch €13. I’ve never been so well fed! Sat down and was brought a small pizza and bread rolls. First course was gnocchi with mushrooms (I was full by this point). Second cause was streak and veggies followed by coffee with a small brownie, oh and 2 bottles of sparking water all for €13. Amazing

EN - A wonderful place, fantastic food with a menu that changes daily. The staff is incredibly friendly. A locals' bar where Italians eat. A true Italian atmosphere. I highly recommend it, as it's a true gem and an Italian experience.

This was most bizarre and unforgettable culinary experience. We arrived in this little cafe-looking place around 5:30pm, an uncommon hour to eat dinner in Italy, as most restaurants close for siesta until 7 or 7:30pm. Our party of 6 were the only guests, and the place was run by one guy, who, after an inquiry about the menus told us there aren’t any, and that he’d come and tell us how this works. When he did, he (assuming we were Americans) simply said: “In America, there’s democracy. In Italy, we have Mussolini”. He would be deciding what we eat, and would keep bringing us food until he thought we’d had enough. And that’s what he did. The first course was a large bowl of fresh greens sprinkled with parmesan and rotisserie chicken, dressing tactfully separated, continuing to a plate of cheesy baked polenta and then a generous dish of creamy gnocchi with bacon. It felt like we were visiting an Italian friend in his home— A slightly rude old friend who never made the slightest attempt to make us feel welcome apart from feeding us, but the quality and quantity of the food said it all, and was more than enough to make us feel welcome. When our new eccentric friend (though the friendship may have been one-sided) presented a gigantic steaming skillet full of pasta and fresh mussels smothered in herbs, oils and sauces of incredible flavors, I’m pretty sure we all thought that was the grand finale. Hunger was long gone, and it was agreed that this had been a successful restaurant choice. Only that wasn’t even close to the end. Next came a bowlful of bouillabaisse stew packed with a versatile variety of fresh seafood in impressive red sauce, that would have been enough to feed six on it’s own. Then a couple servings of fresh focaccia. At this point we began to worry about very likely food waste, and hinted that this is probably enough. However, chef reminded us with a serious face that he is the boss. Nobody was going to argue any further. Deaf to our pleads to stop, he kept coming with another two servings of tuna tartare and a dish of baked potatoes, and when it was all finally there, the most welcome sight of the true grand finale were a thick pile of to-go boxes. However stuffed we thought we were, we weren’t going be let to leave without espresso and dessert: little cups of the best panna cotta I’ve ever tasted, and a couple slices of chocolate apple cake. All in all, our table was served a total of eight courses, each one big enough to be shared between six, plus dessert. The cost? 15€ each. The most bizarre part was that despite of him actually telling us at one point “I don’t care about you. I only care about your money”, combined with a generally somewhat hostile attitude, the overall experience was so incredible that we were definitely going to leave a hefty tip. Only he wouldn’t accept it. That was his price and there wasn’t going to be any arguing about it either. When the business was concluded, and he learned that we in fact weren’t Americans (one Finn and five Germans), he got a bit more chatty and it was revealed that despite the unusual time for dinner, we had lucked out because he was on the right mood and was already working in the kitchen. I may have even heard a sentence or two exchanged in German. Out of all the many very memorable eating experiences in the last days of our Italy vacation, that was the one that left me utterly inspired. In most cases, a good time at any restaurant is a combination of the decor, music, friendly atmosphere. But this time, there was a complete lack of pretentiousness in all of that. More than anything, this dinner was a reminder to me about the beauty and power of good food in itself when there is such a raw passion for it. Maybe there is something to dictatorship after all…

Excellent cuisine with exquisite and generous dishes. It's a great option to take home some of the portions you struggle to finish, so you can still enjoy the delicious dishes the next day. A big compliment to the chef: keep up the good work!

Simone Rondi

A little gem. Super generous and excellent dishes, truly delicious. Dinner starts at €20, including a first course, second course, water, and coffee. Highly recommended.

Davide Benzoni

Excellent food, always a fish-based second course; generous portions... very good fixed-price menu. I recommend it.

I went Friday night with a former colleague. He'd raved about it... and I actually had excellent lobster pasta. We let the chef choose the menu. Excellent service, and the owner is very kind. Definitely worth a try.

I frequent the restaurant often for business or pleasure lunches, and I can confirm that I've always had a great time. Yesterday we had lunch with friends from out of town, and as always, the chef, who owns the restaurant, satisfied everyone. Truly delicious dishes, generous portions, and wonderful homemade bread, pizzas, and focaccias. Prices are absolutely competitive. The owner is committed to reducing food waste and provides takeout trays so you don't waste food. A much-appreciated, smart and eco-friendly initiative. Highly recommended. P.S. A huge lunch for just €12 per person, including drinks and coffee. The low price doesn't detract from the excellent quality of the food.

A simple bar hiding excellent cuisine and a fantastic Gian. Seafood specialties, excellent meat as well. We went for dinner, lunch menu for only €12. I'm gluten intolerant, but they prepared a super fried calamari with delicious rice flour 🥹 The idea of ​​letting the chef choose the various courses is innovative. The photos speak for themselves! Super fair prices, top quality/price ratio. Super good Lugana 🍾 Highly recommended for a dinner "like at a friend's house." 🫶🏻💫
