Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Lombardy

Lovely setting and impeccable service, food is also very good ! I love every dish there, only one small point is the paccheti pasta with bread was served at the very last. So for me it’s a bit too much since I am like 101% full, but still the pasta is very tasty.

We had a wonderful overnight experience at Da Vittorio in the junior suite. We arrived early and they were able to accommodate an early check in, and also brought a fan to our room when requested as AC wasn’t available during our time of year. We had a wonderful hike along the grounds prior to dinner. The American Bar had inventive cocktails and mouthwatering little appetizers prior to dinner, and dinner itself was outstanding. Loved the paccheri as others have mentioned, and had the best risotto of my life! Appreciate Da Vittorio for arranging us a great taxi to our next location as well. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Amazing — our first three Michelin star restaurant experience! We enjoyed every dish along with its perfectly paired drink, and the service was flawless. The owners were present throughout the evening, making sure everything was just right. It truly felt like a slice of paradise, and we will definitely be back. Just be prepared — you will leave absolutely stuffed!

I had high expectations for Da Vittorio and the Cerea Family. Thankfully, my expectations were exceeded. The Cerea Family are superb hosts. They float through the dinning room, ensuring each guest has everything they need. When Bruna enters the room, she owns the space, unlike anything I've ever seen. The tasting menu was exquisite. Perfect blend of classic and contemporary. It was a privilege to dine, and stay with them. In addition, Bailey (Golden Retriever) was an adorable dining companion.

Da Vittorio is a high level 3 star that is consistently impressive across the entire tasting menu. My favorites were how they used white truffles and different Italian cheeses in a couple different stand-out dishes you don’t want to miss. I usually mostly care about the quality of food and service/atmosphere takes a backseat to that, but I really must say I truly felt taken care of here. They truly care and it’s really clear with each interaction they have with you. One small critique would be, similar to others I’ve noticed in Italy, would be a bit of improvement on the main dessert. It felt a little uncreative to us, but not a huge deal.

I could write a lot about the restaurants, the rooms, the grounds of this amazing place, it can be summed up in two words, a .ABSOLUTLEY PERFECT Above the wonderful restaurants, from the breakfast room to the DAV restaurant and the jewel in the crown of the DA VITTORIO restaurant. The beauty of the complex, the rooms. Above all of this stands and radiates the warm and wonderful attitude of the CEREA family to the attention to the smallest details led by the mother of the family, Mrs. Bruna Cerea, through the chefs Enrico and Roberto who are her sons, and the rest of the family team and all the employees without exception who truly and innocently give you a feeling of warm family hospitality. They are the ones who make us without a doubt return here in the future

A truly unforgettable experience. We had been looking forward to visiting Da Vittorio for a long time, wondering if a three-star restaurant could live up to such high expectations. Not only were they met with ease — they were far, far exceeded. From the moment you walk in, you’re warmly welcomed by a large, attentive team. The setting is stunning: an elegant restaurant with beautiful décor, complemented during our visit by subtle and tasteful Christmas touches. Even the staff uniforms are impeccable — every detail is perfectly thought out. We were seated in a gorgeous dining room with beautifully set tables, and from that point on the experience only got better. We chose the 16-course menu and every single dish was, in one word, wow. The aperitif prepared at the table was a great start, followed by outstanding and sometimes surprising small bites. Portions are anything but small, and the menu is wonderfully varied, featuring house classics and specialties that truly shine. The level of service is exceptional. My dinner companion didn’t enjoy one of the courses (purely personal preference), and the hostess noticed immediately — without us even saying a word. She proactively offered an alternative dish on the spot. That kind of attention is rare and remarkable. The finale was just as impressive: during coffee, several dessert trolleys arrived at the table — filled with sweets, cookies, cakes, and teas. It was an overwhelming and delightful end to the evening. Yes, there is a price tag, but the experience is genuinely unforgettable. For the welcome, the team, the food, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere, it is absolutely worth it. A night to frame and remember. Thank you.

Many standout dishes that were both unique and exciting. Definitely a high-end one star, and better than most two stars I’ve been to. Their staple dishes are for sure hits, like the Spaghetti with yeast and Black Garlic Risotto. Also a great wine/sake pairing! I think my only critique would be some of the dishes felt like a bit of an afterthought, such as the mushroom dish. And the desserts weren’t quite up to Michelin standards.

We have had a beautiful dinner there. Atmosphere was warm and cozy but I am sure the day time view will be stunning being right by the lake - the name Lido gives away its beautiful site. Chef R is very passionate about history and has a distinctive approach towards cuisine - we really enjoyed the details in his approach

Great restaurant with extremely beautiful view over the lake of Garda. Personnel is young, but professional. I appreciated the passion and dedication of the staff. Food is excellent. Steamed white fish and the mushroom dishes were my favorite. Risotto was also great even if the way it’s exhibited leaves me some perplexities (I know, it’s one of the signature dishes but what to do). The only dish that I personally found just ok is the Cacio e Pepe pasta that was definitely a quite average pasta (good, but nothing special). A specific mention I want to do is for the sommelier, because the wine pairing he prepared is by far the best one I ever had (and this is not my first Michelin star restaurant). It made everything so much better. Out of 5 wines (+ a sake) not a single one was off. Really a stunning job.

What a great place: authentic Italian recipies/ideas perfectly created. They bridge the gap between very down to earth ideas & kitchen and Michelin execution and presentation. Loved the crazy idea of ONE (!!!) piece of pasta combined with the greatest sauce ever ... but so much more to like than only the great food: young enthusiastic service, masterful restaurant management and great atmosphere directly at the lake --- a truly great evening and one of the best Michelin experiences I had in the last 30 years . THANK YOU!

I had been waiting for over a year to book a weekend table at Lido 84, and finally, I managed to secure one with a beautiful terrace seat overlooking Lake Garda. We chose the 7-course traditional menu, which began with delightful welcome bites. Since I don’t eat oysters, I asked for a replacement and was served a delicate chard wrap instead a thoughtful and well executed alternative. Instead of the wine pairing, we opted for a Franciacorta Rosé, which paired perfectly with the entire meal. Of course, we couldn’t miss their iconic Cacio e Pepe an absolute must when dining here! I won’t go into too much detail about every dish (there are already countless photos and reviews online), but the real question is: Was it worth the long wait for a reservation? Absolutely yes. These days, there are many restaurants where you can enjoy outstanding food. What makes Lido 84 truly special is not just the cuisine, but the hospitality. The team genuinely understands what hospitality means: warm, attentive, never pretentious. The ambiance, the terrace, the service, the wine, everything came together seamlessly. And I could sense that the staff is treated with respect and care, which reflects in the way they serve and interact with guests. For me, still on my journey of culinary discovery, Lido 84 stands out as one of the most remarkable dining experiences I’ve ever had. The setting by the lake, the gentle breeze, the impeccable food, the wine, the kindness of the staff, and the company I shared it with, came together to create a memory that goes far beyond a simple meal. It was, in every sense, more than perfect.

Good experience but didn’t live up to the expectations of #16 in World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The pasta in pig’s stomach was interesting. Really liked the signature “Spaghettone, Butter, Butter Yeast” which is featured in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Sweetbread - ok.

Absolutely stunning. I highly recommend a lunch time booking (outside if possible) to take in the best of this location. We opted for the 7 course meal and added the cacio e pepe which was so delicious. Incredibly attentive staff. Definitely deserving of its reputation.

The food is mediocre, not the best nor the worst. However we feel it’s a bit overpriced for what you get. This artichoke salad is about 14ish euro.

The fish was cooked perfectly with full flavor, the orange salad was also perfect. The people are also very professional ❤️

Definitely a place to go when in Mantua! It was recommended by a colleague and we went to have some lunch, DELICIOUS!!! A completely must! Service was like being at home, it can't get any better than that!

We were enjoying our day trip in Mantua but when hunger knocks on the door, you have to answer. We made a point to eat earlier in the day as most restaurants are closed after 2PM and probably reopens at dusk. Whatever you love about real Italian food, you will find something delicious here, a menu that consist a celebration of flavours and ingredients. We especially enjoyed Salame Mantovano with warm bread, Spinach salad with melon, shrimp with lime oil and sesame seeds. Primi: Pumpkin tortelli with melted butter and sage, a Traditional Mantuan dish with a little sweetness. We skipped Secondi to save room for one of their dreamy desserts. Indeed, one of the best Osteria if you are looking for truly authentic Mantuan cuisine. Friendly service and a charming, soothing ambience. The location away from the main square area has not affected its popularity among locals and tourists, come early or make a reservation.

I visited in October having heard great things about the tortelli di zucca. They did not disappoint, and neither did the other gorgeous hearty regional dishes I tried during my long lazy lunch. It’s a simple interior with supremely friendly service; as a solo traveller I value this highly, and the staff were really lovely. So much so that when I return to see a concert al Teatro Bibiena soon, I can’t wait to visit again.

Everything was perfect in this historic place. First of all, we had no reservation and they took us in at 12. For the whole time being there we did not feel anything but being very welcomed. The food was amazing and its quality justifies the price. If we turn back we will make a reservation, grazie!

Overall a very good home cooking :). Very basic Italian restaurant decor, home cooking done well. Good service !

Nice ambience with the view of lake Como.service was very good. I have Rice with small fried fish, with butter and sage. It was beautifully plated. Rice is perfect. Although there were only few pieces of fish, it was delicious. We also order 1/2 bottle of chianti. My friend ordered ravioli and soup. A little pricey restaurant but its worth it.

We had the most wonderful lunch!! We were shown this gem by our tour guide and invited her to lunch. The restaurant overlooks the glorious Swiss Alps, has exemplary service and great food. I highly recommend this spot for a meal if you’re visiting the region.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-visit in Bellagio! Ristorante La Punta offers not only incredible views of Lake Como, but also a truly unforgettable dining experience. The setting is absolutely magical — perched right at the tip of Bellagio, surrounded by water and mountains. The food was outstanding. We had homemade pasta, and a perfectly paired bottle of local wine. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was warm, attentive, and professional — the staff made us feel truly welcome. Whether you’re coming for a romantic dinner, a family lunch, or just to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine, this place is simply perfect. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!

For the atmosphere alone, this is a worth while stop. The food was decent and the service was decent, however, the views from the lake are absolutely spectacular and truly deserve at least to stop for lunch. The menu was much less authentic than some other places in town and catered more to the tourism however, it was still a lovely meal with an even lovely view.

The food is okay, the charge is 4 Euros per person, water is 5 Euros per bottle. If you’re coming for the view only, can consider taking away food and chilling in the same area with some benches. Or just walking here to see the view only. Ordered the lasagne, Tiramisu and Pasta

I have this restaurant on my list. Could not book for dinner to enjoy the sunset so we booked for lunch. The booking process and our arrival was all well. For the food it was ok but in general below expectations in some dishes especially the local lake fish plate and some others are just ok. Maybe our expectations were high regarding the food which was not met to full satisfaction. The view is fantastic and service is ok. I was surprised for such restaurant to offer us discount of 10% if we pay in cash ?!

Food was good, nothing special, just good, it lacked flavor just tasted like butter. View was outstanding and service was very nice. Interesting they ask you to pay cash if you can.

We stumbled across this little gem on a short trip to Bergamo. The restaurant is so welcoming and the decor is gorgeous. The wine section was great, the service was fantastic and the free antipasti with each glass of wine was to die for would highly recommend.

A very good restaurant. not your typical Italian restaurant, it was a new and surprising cuisine based on traditional dishes. Excellent service and good atmosphere

Absolutely lovely spot! I walked in by chance while exploring Bergamo and instantly fell in love with the cozy, home-style atmosphere. Super friendly and stylish staff, great food, and the idea of choosing your own bottle from the shelf and just paying the cork charge — brilliant! I’ll definitely come back again. 🍷✨

I dined solo for the evening. I walked in and asked for a table and was seated somewhere towards the back for a nice quiet meal. The music was a fantastic playlist to go along with the food. I had excellent service with the waitress taking care of me for my time there. She made some excellent recommendations for the evening. They have many gluten free options to choose from here. Reading some of the other reviews was unfortunate to read. I had the opposite experience with my visit to this place without a reservation and walking in. I will definitely dine here again if I’m the Bergamo area.

Great food (if you eat just one dish, it’s small portion :) nice place

Disappointing Experience Despite High Expectations We visited this restaurant after reading several glowing reviews, hoping for a memorable meal. Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfying. We ordered two dishes, both of which were underwhelming in flavor and presentation. The wine didn’t help either—it was equally disappointing. To make matters worse, we were charged €4.50 per person for service, bringing our total to €60. For that price, we expected much more. The portions were surprisingly small, so even if the food had been enjoyable, it wouldn’t have felt worth it. I don’t usually write negative reviews, but in this case, the value simply didn’t match the cost. Sadly, we left feeling let down and unlikely to return. P.S thanks for bread!

Great staff and cozy place where locals hang out . Try the egg appetizer! The best in the world 🌎

Good quality food, in an elegantly decorated room. We went for an easy lunch and it was as we expected.

Good food and very decent prices. Causal place.

Friendly service and good food

(Translated by Google) Cozy location and friendly staff. Content menu easily explained by the attention put into the dishes! We took 2 torrelli with wild herbs, butter and sage, 1 fillet of sea bass in a potato crust (very good), 1 portion of steamed vegetables, a portion of baked potatoes and 1 mixed salad. For dessert we had 1 tiramisu and 1 thousand "cravings" with strawberries and Chantilly cream. The bread and breadsticks (included in the cover charge) were also really good! To drink we had 2 waters and 1/2 liter of Lambrusco Mantovano wine. In total we spent €74... so good value for money. Advised! (Original) Location accogliente e personale cortese. Menù contenuto facilmente spiegabile dall'attenzione messa nei piatti! Noi abbiamo preso 2 torrelli alle erbette di campo al burro e salvia, 1 filetto di branzino in crosta di patate (molto buono), 1 porzione di verdure al vapore, a porzione di patate al forno e 1 insalata mista. Per dolce abbiamo preso 1 tiramisù e 1 mille "voglie" alle fragole e crema chantilly. Anche il pane e i grissini (inclusi nel coperto) erano davvero buoni! Da bere abbiamo preso 2 acque e 1/2 litro di vino Lambrusco Mantovano. In tutto abbiamo speso €74... quindi rapporto qualità-prezzo buono. Consigliato!

(Translated by Google) It is a small restaurant/tavern in Mantua, well furnished and elegant in every aspect. The manager is certainly a very kind and helpful person with customers, so I have nothing to complain about the service. I have nothing to complain about. (Original) È un piccolo ristorantino/osteria di Mantova ben arredato ed elegante in ogni aspetto. Il gestore è sicuramente una persona molto gentile e disponibile coi clienti, percui sul servizio non ho nulla da ridire. Non ho nulla di cui lamentarmi.

(Translated by Google) We were a group of 8 for lunch. Initially there were supposed to be 10 of us, but 2 defected at the last minute after we had already taken our seats. The staff rightly asked us to huddle together and leave the part of the table with the 2 vacant seats free, unfortunately, however, they did not change the tablecloth and plates even though some of us had sat in those very places and without masks. Personally I found it a serious lack of attention, especially in a time like this. We then took a platter of mixed cured meats (as a starter), very good, and a first course each (also very good). The desserts are good and plentiful. (Original) Eravamo un gruppo di 8 persone per pranzo. Inizialmente dovevamo essere in 10, ma 2 hanno defezionato all'ultimo dopo che avevamo già preso posto. Giustamente il personale ci ha chiesto di stringerci e lasciare libero la parte di tavolo con i 2 posti vacanti, sfortunatamente però, non ha provveduto a cambiare tovaglia e piatti benché alcuni di noi si fossero seduti proprio in quei posti e senza mascherina. Personalmente l'ho trovata una grave mancanza di attenzione, soprattutto in un periodo come questo. Abbiamo poi preso un tagliere di salumi misti (come antipasto), molto buoni ed un primo a testa (anch'essi molto buoni). I dolci buoni ed abbondanti.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful restaurant, where I was able to taste typical Mantua delicacies and dishes. Try their tortellini and the goose breast appetizer. Phenomenal. I recommend accompanying everything with a good red wine. Friendly and helpful staff. No flaws, definitely worth going back (Original) Ristorante meraviglioso, dove ho potuto gustare prelibatezze e manicaretti tipici di Mantova. Da provare i loro tortellini e l'antipasto con il petto d'oca. Fenomenale. Consiglio di accompagnare il tutto con del buon vino rosso. Personale gentile e disponibile. Nessuna pecca, assolutamente da tornarci

We had such a fabulous dinner at Gatto Nero! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional!! The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine selection was perfect. Our waiter gave us excellent recommendations, and each dish was better than the last. The atmosphere was charming, and the view made it all even more memorable. We highly recommend Gatto Nero to anyone visiting Lake Como it’s a must-visit for an unforgettable meal! (The perfect date night spot if you’re traveling with your significant other!!)

Food: bland is the best review I can give. It was okay-ish. Absolutely not worth the price tag. Service: the service was adequate. Friendly enough. Big problem - I had told them it was our honeymoon and ask we be seated (IF POSSIBLE) by the window or the edge. They had said to get an earlier reservation and ask for it. Which I did. When we arrived, we were the first people there. They sat us in the very BACK. The furthest away from the view possible. They said they had reservations for the tables close to the view. That’s fine, if someone already got it - totally fine. BUT nobody came for those seats the entire time. There was actually only one other table there the whole time we were there. Huge let down on the service. For the price tag, I would have expected more attention to our accommodation. Really crappy to do. Right before we finished, an hour later, one couple showed up and took one of the 6 view-tables. I read the reviews but thought I would give them a chance - bad idea. Believe the reviews. There are so many better places for the money. Just go somewhere else.

Our best night in Cernobbio! The evening in Gatto Nero felt like a dream from the fairytale! From the first moment we had full attention from staff, great sommelier advices us perfect wine and the food was divine. Entire staff made us feel welcomed and home and took lovely pictures of us and gave us a tour of the entire restaurant, even tho some areas were closed. We were treated like VIP’s. Can’t wait to be back!

Good food with a stunning view! I went there with my family and had an amazing time. I love their asparagus creme Brule and the pumpkin soup. Their price is on the higher side, but giving the location it is understandable. If you're not on a tight budget definitely give it a try! Also, if you're traveling in a group, I suggest you book in advance.

The views are unmatched…but the food comes close. We were grateful to eat here when we couldn’t find parking in Como Town and this restaurant had parking AND availability for a last minute reservation request. We all enjoyed our pasta with views of Lake Como, would def go again!

We were genuinely excited to dine here, especially after hearing such great things about the view—which, to be fair, was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, that ended up being the only redeeming part of our evening. We don’t typically write negative reviews or criticize service, but our experience from start to finish was deeply disappointing. We sat for over 30 minutes with menus before our server came over to ask if we had questions. When our server finally arrived, he didn’t introduce himself or even greet us. The first things he said was "Yes, I'm ready". When a member of our party tried to ask a question about a dish, he shouted (over the extremely loud music), “Decide because I can’t hear you.” We placed our entire order at once—cocktails, wine, and all courses—and the server walked off, dropping our menus loudly on a nearby table as he left. A short while later, he returned with cold bread and oil and vinegar, but we weren’t given any plates, so we had no way to eat it. We assumed he was waiting to serve the wine with the first course, but even once our food arrived, we didn’t have wine glasses. We had to ask for the bottle ourselves, and despite finishing it during the first course, we received no wine service at all—no refills, no check-in, and no offer of a second bottle. After the first course, we saw another server bring out our entrees, only to turn around and head back into the kitchen when he noticed we still had dirty plates on the table. Our main courses didn’t arrive for another seven minutes, and unfortunately, every plate was cold. My steak, ordered medium rare (see photo below), was served nearly well done, and the chicken dish was very dry and clearly overcooked. Throughout the meal, our server made several rude and sarcastic remarks, and we had to ask three separate times for bottled water before another staff member finally brought it. At the end of the evening, no one—our server, the host, or even the manager we spoke to while arranging our car—checked in to ask how our experience was. Overall, we were extremely disappointed. This was, unfortunately, an abysmal experience from start to finish. We had really hoped for a memorable dining experience, but sadly, it was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

We had a really lovely dinner, service by Luca was very good. I don’t give out five stars too often, think a solid four was the right outcome. The food was good, but not unforgettable, but the views - nestled as the restaurant is up in the hills above Cernobbio - were amazing. Just make sure you call and ask for a table on the terrace, or near the window on the top floor (we were tucked away on the lower floor, still enjoyed the environment, but diluted the view for us a wee bit). Had the tagliatelle with burrata, the chicken, the vitello tonnato and the tiramisu. Again, all were pretty good. Will defo come back.

Hostaria 700 is an incredible dining experience! The ambiance is amazing—you truly feel like you’re eating inside a palace, surrounded by history and elegance. The quality of the food is excellent, with every dish beautifully prepared. Just keep in mind that it’s a bit on the expensive side, but the experience is definitely worth it!

Brilliant meal here tonight, service and food was first class, definitely recommend visiting if you are in Cremona 👌👍

A true hidden gem restaurant - excellent but was hard to find! I walked right past it as the sign is hard to see and it's surrounded by residential buildings. Definitely felt like a very authentic European restaurant, both in terms of vibrant ingredients and portion sizes. Beautiful decor that feels like a nobleman's parlor. We got some local specialties - cotechino sausage, marubini tortellini in 3 broths, and a cheese plate with mostarda fruit preserves. All 3 were fantastically composed dishes worth savoring. The cotechino was definitely the highlight. A wonderful taste of the local Cremonese cuisine, located near the Casa Stradivari if you're making a stop there. Highly recommended!

My first time in Cremona for my wife and myself, i have been told about this restaurant from a friend, i wish i knew this place before because the quality of the ingredients is absolutely above expectations, the waiters assisting at the table are knowledgeable and well prepared, no matter what you choose from the menu is worth to try, i do recommend to everyone even if could be considered pricy .

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been in the Emilia-Romagna region. I had the onion tatin with parmesan gelato & traditional marubini in meat broth. The onion tatin was unimaginably caremelized and the parmesan gelato does a perfect counterbalance. Marubini had just the right ratio of dough to meat in an unassuming broth which simply blows your mind upon your first taste. Simply amazing. I wish I stayed in Cremona to go once more. I also love the ambience which is very pleasant with lots of natural lighting.

Simple and nice place. Food are pretty good as welll

My very first visit to Italy and i was taken out for a meal at the Hosteria 700 . i was told not to make any judgement by the exterior look to the place as the outside does not look like much at all. To my surprise the interior is beautiful , the staff were excellent and the food was to die for. Everything about this place was five star. if you get the chance this is a must add to your bucket list.

I visited La Grotta recently and managed to snag a table just before the dinner rush, which was a plus. The pizza and pasta were decent—solid, but nothing that blew me away or felt particularly memorable. The mussels, unfortunately, were a bit of a letdown; they tasted like the standard frozen fare you’d find at many other spots in town, lacking that fresh, live quality I was hoping for. On the bright side, the staff was quick and efficient, handling our order with speed and professionalism. Overall, La Grotta is a decent choice for a no-frills meal, especially considering the reasonable prices, though don’t expect a view or anything extraordinary. It’s a reliable option for a casual dinner, but it won’t leave you raving

We were there today with friends. We were looking for a classic Italian place and finally found one. Very tasty pasta, pizza, wine, and desserts. Good prices on the menu. Nice atmosphere. We definitely recommend visiting with friends!❤️

The food is very good and fairly priced, with the beef dishes standing out as truly excellent. The staff made an effort to be kind. However, unless you sit outside, the atmosphere is not very pleasant – the interior is poorly designed and feels hot and humid, as the air conditioning doesn’t work well. Overall, it’s a good place to eat, but not the right spot if you’re looking for a charming dinner.

It’s a cozy restaurant with delicious food. The food are generally more flavourful, some are a little salty to my liking but overall the price and quality of food and environment is good to be recommended.

Good price for the average in Bellagio and good quality pizza. Service was fast and attentive and they even brought some candy with the check. It was a great experience overall

If it's full you need to wait for ~20 minutes. In our case we found a table really quick. The price was okay and the food also. Not authentic Italian because the pizza was too thick. The mushrooms on my pizza were not fresh but from can but in summary delicious food if you do not expect Italian pizza with a nice crust.

We queued for like 20-minutes for this restaurant before they open as it suppose to be very good (4.3 google rated). 2-minutes before the restaurant opened, they suddenly placed a sticker on their board and informed everyone that there will be no pizza tonight. Went ahead to eat anyway. Turns out it’s the worst spaghetti I’ve ever eaten — and the worst part is, I found the worst spaghetti right here in Italy,not in some random third-world country.

Ah, Mimi. It’s a charming spot nestled within the Città Alta, where the warmth of the exposed brick and the inviting glow of candlelight create a truly lovely atmosphere. They’ve clearly put a lot of thought into showcasing the best of Bergamasco cuisine, with dishes that highlight the region's rich culinary heritage. The *casoncelli* were a delightful example, plump and flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each plate feels like a carefully composed tribute to local ingredients. And the wine list? A genuine highlight, a curated selection of Lombardy’s finest, each bottle telling its own story. It's a place where you can relax and truly savor the flavors of the region, accompanied by excellent wine and a genuinely welcoming ambiance. Mimi offers a lovely, refined experience, perfect for a memorable evening in Bergamo.

Me and family loved the food here. The portions were ok, people working here are really nice, and the price was okay too. No complaint!! Both pasta dishes were amazing, and overall we would gladly come back again!!

The experience in the local was incredible. Tasty polenta, and incredible pasta. The cherry on top was tiramisu. I think one of the best if not the best I had . The local has really nice vibe, and style

We had wonderful lunch! Our services were amazing, they found us a table and welcomed us really well. For the starter we shared “parmigiana e melanzane” which was really good. For the main dish we had lasagna and macaroni alla carbonara, everything was really good! We will be back!

We had a wonderful experience at Mimi Restaurant while celebrating a birthday! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service truly stood out. A huge thank you to our host and waiter, Mudillo, who was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. He went above and beyond to help us organize a surprise, making the evening even more special. The food was absolutely delicious — the octopus was perfectly cooked, the ravioli were rich and flavorful, and the tiramisu was the perfect sweet ending. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Highly recommend Mimi Restaurant for both the amazing food and the exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!

Good reviews led us to Mimi's for dinner, and we are so glad they did! We had a wonderful meal - roasted rabbit and braised beef with polenta. Some of the rabbit was dry, but not all. The beef was rich and delicious, and went really well with the polenta.

We enjoyed an excellent lunch. Polenta and Bollito misto were very good. This was Italian cooking that you want to experience, thoroughly recommend this restaurant

Lots of photos already submitted show the food and wine experience here. Unfortunately, my meat and cheese dish had been started before I could take a photo :o) We had the three wines taster, which were all explained for us. Slight issue here was the size of glass involved was not made clear, perhaps a misunderstanding. It's a shame that the service level dropped in that we were not offered desserts for quite some time after finishing our meat and cheese. Careful if you are seated against the wall as my wife's top was marked. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and seemed to be multi-lingual. Overall, the bar is a place worth a visit.

We were staying down the street and decided to pop in our first night and had a great time!! It seems you need to make reservations if you want to sit outside. But we were totally fine staying downstairs in the cellar. It was so good we went back a second night. The service was great, wine was great and affordable, and the cheese plate was delicious! 10/10 will be back if I ever get the please of visiting Lake Como again.

This place was absolutely incredible! A must-visit if you’re in the area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. A table with a view of Lake Como became available, and they kindly prepared it for us. The cheese and carpaccio were outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully presented. This bar and the manager truly made our evening unforgettable. Highly recommended!

A must visit if you stay or visit Tremezzo. Great selection of wines and cheese/meats. Service also great.

We really enjoyed our time at Cantina Follie. It’s tucked up between buildings along the main strip in Tremezzo. My husband and I shared two wine tasting flights - one whites and one reds. We let the server pick which wines went in the tastings and we were very pleased. We also had a mixed cheese board and really enjoyed it. While we were there, we chatted it up with the server (Leo?) and had such a good time, as he is quite funny. We chatted with the owner as well, Joost, which was quite nice. We followed the flights of tastings with a glass of our favorite one each and it was just perfect. We highly recommend stopping in. Delicious and very personalized service.

Wow, what a great experience. The food and wine is amazing! The prices are good and the service and knowledge was fantastic! I’ll be back within a couple of days !

Lovely wines and recommendations. Great to have local and almost local offerings as well. Economical flight tasting options as well.

Very nice place, especially in the evening, great taste of atraciatella and other cakes ❤️ Thanks fot the experience 🙏🏼

Day trip to Bergamo, I stopped by to try Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato). It is a birthday place of stracciatella. I am not big chocolate chip ice cream person. It was creamy and it was good. I wanted wafer cone, it is only come in 3 scoops, 4.50 euro. The wafer cone was okay. The other two favors were pistachios and strawberry. Stracciatella was the best of the three. Is it better than other gelato, not really.

A beautiful venue with disappointing gelato. My friend and I stopped by during our day trip to Bergamo. Having previously lived in Italy and being a lover of gelato she was keen to have some at the birth place of stracciatella. Unfortunately our gelato was very melted and turned to liquid very quickly. When we spoke to staff they were dismissive and insisted that was the consistency of gelato compared to ice-cream. When my friend explained that she had lived in Italy and eaten a lot of gelato in her time, they started to backtrack offering to replace one of the three flavours she had ordered as the other two were still quite soft. Disappointing to say the least.

The original stracciatella ice cream. Yes,this is much more delicious than anything sold as stracciatella. I became a fan. 🤩 Also tried polenta e osei which is a local specialty and very tasty. Crispy sweet polenta outside and some kind of cream with almond and apricot jam inside. Don't forget to try coffee with zabaglione as well, I loved it!!

At La Marianna, the birthplace of Stracciatella, simplicity turns into perfection. A scoop of history, a taste of tradition, and the delicate balance of cream and chocolate that has enchanted the world since 1961. Pure Italian elegance in a cone.

Good Gelato, cozy place, and options of dessert. Even it is chill, the outside terrace is a good place to relax. Gelato recomended: Stratiachella Pistachio

Gelato is good however 3 scopes in the cup is similar size of 1 scoop with cone.

Amazing restaurant, fully in line of what you would expect from 2 stars. Elegant setting, polite service and amazing food. We took the standard menu and they were kind to allow us to swap some dishes and replace them with a la cart. My number one dish if I had to give rating was spaghetti with sea anemone and prawn tartar equally great was the signature risotto with strawberry and herbs. Then blu lobster but basically every dish was wonderful. Desert was a highlight too. Thank you Seta team for an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful food and fantastic staff. We had the Ten Years anniversary menu. Every course was beautifully presented and tasted delicious (although the Eel wasn't to out taste). Very highly recommended for a special dinner.

Friendly service, elegant environment and innovation flavours. All dishes are citric in different ways, which highly express the style of the chef. Nonetheless, the food is at great quality, delicately presented, definitely up to 2 Michelin stars quality.

We book last minuite for this place as usual since we have unpredictable schedule in life. So we have the internal spot overlooking the gardens. Service ; The service is a bit lack of professional since we have to ask for wine menu after we decided not to take the wine pairing. Food: Food overall is good, unfortunately not a particular dish that remains amazed for me. We have a service girl who is blonde with glasses who is good and always smiling.

Amazing food in a stunning dinning space. Our first time here so had to try the classic tasting and it was fantastic. Definitely want to come back again and try the seasonal tasting menu for our next visit. All the dishes were great but my favourite was definitely the eel and foie gras dish

The amuse bouche was already setting up the expectations and the chef did not fail to meet them. Lobster was tender and fresh just the portion was so small it was so good😭 sourdough was warm and crunchy sticks were buttery and well salted. The signature risotto combined a lot of flavors: cheesy, herby, and a little tangy and fruity from the raspberry powder. Lovely touch so that it’s not overly cheesy and heavy. Foie gras and eel combo was perfection. Eel was tender with the sauce while foie gras was also tender with fattiness goes down so smoothly while still having the original flavour of each ingredient. I can taste them separately in my mouth but also together. Chicken breast was not super special just cooked well and kept the tenderness instead of being dry but that’s expected at a two star Michelin. The pasta was a little too al dente but the chef made it for it by giving the uni ice cream. Wow. Seafood flavours preserved with sweetness from sugar but also uni itself. The sea grapes also added a crunch to it. Palate cleaner was refreshing. Mille feuille is buttery and crispy although the first bite of the ice cream threw me off. The after taste is refreshing though. I think this is the best petit four I’ve ever had. No misses. Peach chocolate had real bits of peaches so aromatic. Milk chocolate had a good crunch. The pine nut cake had lemon drops on it. I like how the chef balances out sweetness/saltiness with tanginess super refreshing. Lastly the chocolate banana bite was so rich. The service is impeccable: I sneezed and a tissue box was handed to me.

An excellent dinner with slick and professional service. To start felt a little rushed ir too “rehearsed”, but took an easier pace after a couple of courses. The staff were very professional and welcoming, without impeding in any way. We did request additional breadsticks when asked if we wanted them, which never appeared…..also we were second to last in the dining room at end of night and staff were starting to “hang around” which took a little off the “professional effect”. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and they brought a special desert and a balloon, which was a lovely touch. Was unfortunate see that the requested dress code was entirely ignored by one table who had t-shirts, shorts and flip flops🤯 Overall a fantastic meal in a super refined and classy environment.

Very classy wine bar. This is the second premises to the main restaurant / wine bar. Staff were very helpful and kind. Fantastic wine list and we picked our bottle from the shelf. We ordered Parma ham platters, bread and oil, cheese boards, olives etc. I love this place and will definitely return. Met the owner who was lovely. All staff attentive and pleasant. This is what Italy is all about. We were never rushed and left to relax as long as we liked. Don’t change guys 🙏🏼👍🏻❤️

Nestled within the charming warren of the Città Alta, it's a place where the aperitivo hour feels less like a prelude to dinner and more like a main event orchestrated by a particularly enthusiastic maestro. They don't just offer snacks; they present a veritable stage production of nibbles. Think tiny, artfully arranged plates of local cheeses that sing of the Lombardy pastures, cured meats that whisper of ancient traditions, and olives that pop with the briny zest of the Mediterranean. The drinks, of course, flow with an Italianate elegance, each glass a carefully chosen partner to the culinary symphony unfolding before you. It's a place where you can happily lose track of time, surrendering to the gentle hum of conversation and the sheer, unadulterated joy of good food and drink. They have clearly worked out that the combination of location, and high quality produce, is a winning one.

10/10 - amazing cheese, super engaged and professional service, nice terrasse with heating (and blankets), great vine. I don’t understand 3.8 in Google evaluation! This spot is definitely a 4.8! 😊👍

Went to Donizetti at the end of January. The food was spectacular, the local wine pairing was amazing and their desserts oh, but oh so good! We also enjoyed our server who was very nice, on top of things and knowledgeable. Ordered the Casoncelli, the Polenta e formai e speck, and the Spedo di Manzo. Everyone loved their meal!

Its all about the food. Decor is comfortably rustic in a setting that is almost more out than in on a warm September evening. A variety of traditional pasta dishes with a very local vibe and seasonal ingredients. The charcuterie and cheese is a delight. I had a pasta dish which was so good I ordered the same again, fortunately the staff were happy to provide a child's portion at a reduced price or I would have exploded. I followed this up with a cheese platter of 6 different local cheeses which I shared with my wife. They were all excellent and craftily arranged in strength order from mild to challenging. Probably the very best cheeses I have eaten in the last 10 years and I love cheese. We had a starting glass of local franciacorta sparkling wine with a bottle of robust local red for the pasta and cheese. Altogether a memorable meal in a memorable place. You can find cheaper places to eat in Bergamo Alta, but I doubt you will find better.

Good for aperitivo and dinner. Magnificent cheese selection. Incredible wine list. Very good service and location. Expensive.

The Casoncelli are delicious. Good wines. A bit too pricey, but therefore you will have a table under a beautiful pavillon!

Really poor food. The mixed fried fish came with hardly any fish. Was mainly squid and mini octopus. Dry and flavourless. The mixed vegetables were so bad for €6.50 too. My partners risotto was also lacking flavour so she had to smother it in parmesan. Really disappointed as others food looked great. Was we unlucky to order two bad meals? But if they're bad they shouldn't be on the menu at all. As risotto lovers and seafood lovers it should have been right up our street. Disappointed to say the least as there are so many options around we could have gone to.

Wonderful humble restaurant with reasonable prices in the middle of the tourist area. Good service, easy-going atmosphere. We took risotto red chicoree that was great Salat Pizza that was good Sea bass fillet with citrus that was amazing Bottom line- recommended

Decent food, nothing special. It’s a fish restaurant, but my seafood ravioli seemed to have barely met any seafood – it was very tasty nonetheless. Our youngest got a simple plate of pasta with cheese, which he really enjoyed. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. Small sidenote: there’s no outdoor seating or terrace.

Visited twice on our stay in Sirmione because the service is unmatched. Food was just delicious and fresh. Freshly tossed salad and skinned fish table side. Try reserve a table if you want a specific time, otherwise if you’re flexible like we were, it was fully booked upon our arrival, returning 30mins later for a free table and it’s be worth it. Beautiful seafood dishes that hit the spot just right. Aldo (if I remember correctly) was the perfect waiter who showed what great hospitality should be. We will be back

A great little pizzarea, welcoming and friendly staff that bring a lovely family atmosphere to a very enjoyable eating experience 😁 The food is wonderful

Nestled in a quaint alleyway, this traditional Italian eatery serve up a good hearty lunch with well priced menu. When you're near the lake, indulging in seafood is a must, and this restaurant didn't disappoint us. Their pasta and risotto dishes featuring fresh seafood were simply delicious. And they take their salad seriously, serving generous portion with well-prepared dressings. Definitely worth a return visit.

My wife and I stopped by Al Pescatore for lunch while touring Sirmione on a day trip and were not disappointed. The restaurant was busy but we were greeted with a smile and seated promptly. We got the sautéed octopus and polenta to start off with and we both enjoyed the dish. It was simply made with grape tomatoes and capers but the octopus had a delicate flavor. For the main courses, my wife ordered the seafood pizza which came loaded with seafood. It was really hearty so I had to help her finish it but I didn’t mind at all. I ordered the grilled mixed fish that came with prawns, salmon, bronzini and some other fish (didn’t bother to ask but it was good and no, it doesn’t say what it is on the menu). It comes a la carte so I ordered the mixed grilled vegetables. That came with zucchini, eggplant, a large tomato, and endive (it was a little bitter so that’s what I think it was). I wanted to try their tiramisu but helping my wife finish her pizza spoiled those plans. Overall food and service were very good!

Nice food but bad service! The food is explorative but the service is very poor. They don’t explain the courses, they don’t check if everything is okay and they don’t even thank you when you pay the bill! Unfortunately, there are significantly better. Customer service costs nothing - which makes it hard to defend.

Magnificent experience and flavours. Extraordinary interior and design. Service was extremely fast and helpful. Food of extremely high quality and mouthgasm indulgent. Selected a pre made menu for €160 and got a lot more plates in-between than menu stated - free of charge! Menu states 7 courses but we received 10 rounds overall of appetizers and food. Me and my partner are so full and we eat big portions at home. Highly recommend. We also received chocolate hazelnuts in a little bag on departure which I thought was charming.

I came here on my last evening before flying out from Milan the next day! I went to Milan for a week, and this is a really special find for a perfect evening. I arrived on time and immediately sat down at my table by a very friendly hostess, the table was cosy and intimate with a good view of the restaurant. I was on my own, but I knew I wasn't going to feel on my own. I went for the tasting menu, and I paired it with a really nice white wine. My waiter was really attentive and really looked after me and was very friendly. The food was excellent, the service exceptional. Come here if you want a really good, solid restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and friendly staff.

We wanted to try Ristorante Berton because it was on the Eater list and it did not disappoint. There were 3 tasting menu options and we chose the not only soup option. Though we did want to try all of them. Basically each dish came with some type of soup/consomme. We have never been to a tasting menu where each dish had a shot of consomme. It's a very unique experience. Chef Berton was there and at the end, we did get to meet him and share one last bite with him. That was a very pleasant surprise to a great meal The staff was very attentive and made our evening very enjoyable. Highly recommend coming here!

Really one of the best restaurants I have ever been! You can definitely tell that they deserve a Michelin star. The food was so creative and freshly made, I was amazed by every bite. I really enjoyed how much effort was put into every single dish and how well the spices and ingredients balanced each other. The staff was very friendly and explained every dish in detail. They were also very open to questions and recommendations, which we all really enjoyed. It was truly a great experience and I would definitely do it again!

First time eating at a Michelin starred restaurant and it did not disappoint. The food was beautiful and very flavorful. It did take a while to get some of our dishes and to even have the previous plates removed from our table. This was unexpected and made the dinner a little lengthy. Overall great experience though.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a night at a Michelin star restaurant in Milan. The dining experience was absolutely exquisite. From the moment I entered, I was immediately taken by the ambiance of the restaurant. The decor was modern, yet tasteful, and the service was impeccable. The menu offered a variety of optiand all of the dishes were beautifully presented. I have to mention that the staff was attentive and clearly take great pride in their service. They made sure to make our dining experience a special one. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of quality at this Michelin star restaurant in Milan and cannot wait to return. It was a true delight and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Special thanks to Luca! The sommelier!

Amazing place, the food was extraordinarily filling and the pasta sauce was very cheesy. I enjoyed the octopus with a touch of olives. Compliments to the chef!

A beautiful traditional osteria with warm, attentive service and wonderful food. The setting was authentic and inviting, making the whole evening a memorable experience. Highly recommended

Stayed in Garda for 1 week, and this meal was the best! The steak was great and well priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. The wines are awesome 👌 The Tiramisu was great too!

Had an excellent lunch. The spaghetti witb fish sauce and cherry tomatoes really good.

Sought this place out having been in Salo 6 years ago, downstairs was full so we were seated upstairs and room was pleasant. Food was still great, beautifully presented and very tasty - as good as they look in the pics. Average pasta dish is around €15 but well worth it.

We ordered 1 vegetarian starter and two vegetarian dishes, neither of which was special. They were just OK. The zucchini flower starter was basically 3 tiny flowers for 16 euros. Overpriced and underwhelming. We ate but would not go again or recommend.

The service was good and we liked the interior. The food, however, was disappointing. Both pastas were too salty and didn’t have a lot of taste to them. The appetizer (burrata with anchovies) was way too expensive for the amount. The tiramisu was too sweet and was merely served on a plate with nothing else on it.

Disappointing experience - where do we even begin! Asked for still water, got a bottle of fizzy water of the brand “Bolle Stille” (€4). We thought it wasn’t a big deal if the food was ok. Ordered a red prawn carpaccio (€24) as starter, and 2 pastas. Carpaccio was flavourless but smells very fishy (and we’re no stranger to seafood / sashimi / sushi). The 2 pastas (smoked trout €22, vongole €25) were so salty you’d need a kidney dialysis if you finish the whole thing. We kept having bread to cleanse our palate. Pastas were not freshly made. Price is astonishingly disproportionate to the poor quality of food. Finally, I might overlook the fact that the antipasti was served at the same time as the 2 pastas if they didn’t charge €4 each for service.

Delicious, delightful. It was a dreary, rainy afternoon and the restaurant was a good respite from the weather. My husband had the venison ragú over tagliatelle with a blueberry sauce. I had the sea bass with potatoes. Both were delicious. We started with a pumpkin flan which we would recommend. The wait staff were attentive, engaging and put up with our poor attempts at Italian. It was a wonderful afternoon.

We came to Stresa for a day trip and we had the luck to find this place. We had a great dinner, the place got busy, and like us, everyone came without booking but anyways the waitresses, they did a great job in looking after us. The wine list was incredible and for everyone pockets, we bought a very good wine bottle for less then 30€. The food from the starters to the desserts was delicious!! The fondue with pumpkin tart and radicchio was an incredible balance of flavours! I can just recommend you to go and try! Thanks to all the staff, it was a great time 🙏

Fresh seafood, very friendly service! I can highly recommend the Tartar and the black Pappardelle with seafood. The portions were good (each had a starter and main) for us. When asked if I can have the pasta without meat (bacon) for me, it was no problem - I appreciate it! Also the waitress made space for our stroller and we felt very welcomed with a baby.

Food was good, unfortunately writing this because service was appalling, the kind where you’re made to feel sorry for existing. I’m speaking on a young waitress and I just hope staff is trained better in the future- we were actually shocked at her shamelessness in getting us in and out of there in under 1 hour with coldness and glares, when the restaurant wasn’t even closing yet according to their hours. They made a res for us earlier in person for 9pm, we showed up for dinner at 9pm, and were nothing but chill, quiet, and decisive. But immediately started to feel rushed and uncomfortable like we did something wrong. Trying to take away plates so quickly/while clearly not done, telling us kitchen closing when we had like 4mins with the menu, and lingering and rolling eyes when we said we were still working on something. She literally changed into her comfy clothes and shut the door to inside that was right next to our table, and then stared at us while talking about us while we finished our wine for 3min after paying. This was at like 9:55 and restaurant closes at 10:30? Even when I looked at her she kept staring, clearly just trying to act nasty. We got 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine. Nothing crazy but apparently we committed a crime. Glad other service workers in Stresa showed us kindness and patience- stinks our 1 dinner had to feel like that. Ciao!

Nice cosy restaurant off the main thoroughfare. Interesting cafes and shops this way. Friendly welcoming wait staff. I had the pappadelle with prawns, my friend had the vegetable ratatouille with burrata, both delicious with just the right flavours. The pastas are all homemade and they use 100% local produce. Nice respite from the crowds and the heat.

Highly overrated restaurant. I expected much more after seeing the score and the reviews. The flavors just didn't play well together. We had 3 dishes and all of them were disappointing: 1. Tuna tartar - the black rice just didn't go with the fish. 2. Meat ravioli - the meat was dry and had bad texture. 3. Risotto - the pear jam was wrong in that dish and the bacon was too hard (and not crispy). The staff was nice, the prices average.

Excellent service and food quality. The taste of the dishes is truly inspiring, and the interior decoration is very impressive. Although Sirmione is generally a noisy place, this restaurant is located on a quiet street, offering a peaceful atmosphere. I truly appreciated both the service and the food, especially since I was in Sirmione to attend a conference that I didn’t particularly enjoy. Dining here allowed me to fully relax and temporarily escape from a town that I’m not fond of.

Had maybe the best dining experience I can remember here. Not much more to say than that—I feel like I don’t even want to spoil anything for future diners. Really a must visit!

Spectacular food and staff. This place definitely deserves their Michelin star. Each dish was amazing, and the plating was just beautiful. Our fancy burger dish was creatively made with an iron in front of us (a fun presentation!). The waiters were very nice and we enjoyed their humor. We’ve been to a few Michelin starred restaurants, and this place was definitely one of our favorites!

The best bread service in Italy. Lobster raspberry pasta to die for. Michelin 1*.

Amazing experience. Excellent food and warm professional service 10/10. So many small surprises and amuse bouche offered. A highlight of our 2 week vacation in Italy. It is obvious that the owner loves their customers.

Had a phenomenal dinner there last night 6/25/22. We had the 5 course chef's tasting menu with a lot of additional courses. All courses were good to great with exceptional lamb chops (the most tender we've had and addition of cheese was a surprisingly good addition. Also sea scallop crusted in squid ink and potatoes was amazing. All presentations were certainly stylized and added to the fun. My wife appreciated the mini ottoman they provided for women to place their purses. This was a memorable meal. Luxurious (lots of truffle and one with caviar) was seafood heavy as well. Most diners we observed were Italian as a minor footnote to some who offered this as a 'touristy' location. If you have the means and the time, it is worth a visit. We'll deserved Michelin star.

This was a great restaurant; loved the risotto. Certainly quite creative visually. The service was excellent, but slowed down towards the end. Too much bread. Some of the cutlery was a bit hefty for the course we were eating. We arrived 10 minutes early and were sent away, which was frustrating when it was raining.

Some of the best risottos I have ever had! The beef was tender, melt in your mouth. And my rabbit terrine starter was excellent.

Brescia was a stopover for us on our way from Genoa to Munich. While still on the road, we used ChatGPT to find out what was worth seeing and doing during a short stopover here, and we received a recommendation to visit the Osteria al Bianchi. Luckily, we were able to get a table outside and met a very friendly and attentive team who gave us good advice. The pasta dishes were delicious, the tartare was very good, and the sbrisolona was a wonderful finish. Our meal was accompanied by the restaurant's own Lugana wine, which we can recommend. An excellent recommendation that we can only endorse!

Very nice dishes and desserts recommended by staff . Very local typical food. The meat filled pasta is very delicious. The Sbrisolona cake is must try too. Come on Saturday morning to eat the fried cod fish from 11am to 1pm .

They will ignore you if you speak English. We were sat in an empty dining room. They gave us menus and then proceeded to fill the entire room with other diners, take all of their orders, give them their food, and then finally stop ignoring attempts to get their attention to take our order. Don't go here if you aren't a local.

Osteria Al Bianchi is a family-run treasure—warmth and passion from the owners shine through. Delicious food, heartfelt hospitality, and cozy atmosphere make every visit a truly authentic, memorable experience. Grazie mille, Luca, Michelle!

Great food and fast service. The black rice is highly recommended for truffle lovers. The place is nice and you can sit in or out.

Fantastic food. Very lively wait staff. Would definitely come again

We decided to go to Brescia, the Server Avenger Paolo wanted to show your God where he was raised and saw someone having fun in a corner with everyone watching. We went to Osteria, the best place to eat, which it's completely true, The Avenger as you know doesn't have meat for quite some time, so he asked everything in the menu to kick things off, we could see his eyes shining, the same eyes that signed the divorced papers, but this time very happy. He commented that it's even fresher inside than outside and added "I guess I'm not the only one that can control the temperature" Even happier when he saw 4 people serving us, he said "people are really happy by having me here, I really make the difference in people's lives, enjoy the gift of Mendes" The last horse he had was his wife, and this time he tasted horse meat and loved it, he even imitated the horse sound while people in the room clapped and cheered for him - best meat ever he stated Desert time and of course again, give me all of them, he even got confused when people asked if he was sure, but also your Avenger controls his own metabolism, so why not! After we left he was as happy as a baby born and people made the hall of fame just for him, and even one kid gave him a Baggio shirt, he risked his name and asked The Impulsive to sign to t-shirt! Bless Mendes, bless the town, and that kid is going to be sane forever!! Abbiamo Pedro!

It is the pleace where you never come back. Despite you had good or bad experience. Never go hungry to this place 😉 you will go out hungry😬 Besides, if you order starter for €17, you still pay €28 for it. It is a minimum order amount. What?!

We visited the Bergamo for a couple of days and this is the one of the best restaurant in the town. We had lunch and dinner. It was a great experience. The taste and presentation of the meals are great. Stuff is very friendly and helpful. They helped us choosing our meals and they offer best wines for our meals. Thank you.

Super delicious food and wine! The sommelier was very knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was alsof great. Would greatly recommend this place if you want to have a high tier dinner.

Excellent service, delicious food, extra friendly and thought-full for gluten-free and dairy free guests. We enjoyed our dinner very much. Special thanks to lovely Christian :)

Lovely, very friendly staff! Delicious wine and good choice of glutenfree food.

Perfect place: pizza is wonderful, wine is awesome, service and atmosphere are amazing 😻

Nice atmosphere and great service. Good selection of wines but menu was quite expensive.

We stopped for a lunch after searching a nice cozy affordable place to eat. Very welcoming staff, great atmosphere and lunch offer. I highly recommend this place. We took two lunch menu’s, water and white wine. Lunch was only sixteen euros for three course’s. The food was average and tables were cheap looking (though it is expensive place in general) Location is in the center - you can see plaza from the terrace.

Not bad but lunch special very plain and straightforward. Good price, though. 15 euros for entree, main, wine and coffee.

Last time I went there it has not been the best dinner I had. The food quality was good but the waiting time has been really long. I'll give it a 3 star because I should try at least one more time before giving an harsh comment. Next time!

So beautiful experience, everything was perfect!! Amazing food and wine! Highly recommend..

A very disappointing evening! We arrived when they opened and came due to their positive reviews. The starter was ok, but the moon shaped pasta with olives, burrata and prawns was boring. After reading other posts, we just chalked this up to a bad night or dinning too early.

Not great for vegans. It's not difficult to make something like spaghetti with tomatoes garlic chili mushrooms and zucchini or something... The waiter kept asking me if it was OK that they would make me this or that - I realized later it was because they had no idea how to make good vegan food. IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT. Just search recipes online. I was given spaghetti with tofu and a CURRY SAUCE. So awful. 😔 Great restaurant for non-vegans but not for me. Shame as it has great reviews.

Quality lunch on a recent Sunday, ate outside and was treated with great friendliness and efficiency by the staff. Highlight was a basil risotto with scallop, and local fish, served simply with a light crust and asparagus. Good selections of wine (recommend the Lugana). Excellent value and location.

I had the Tradizione tasting menu and everything was delicious. The pasta was super tasty, the fish was really fresh, and each dish looked beautiful too. You can tell they really care about what they serve. The wine was also great and matched the food perfectly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Big bonus: it’s dog friendly! If you're in Bergamo, definitely worth a visit.

We really enjoined our meals here. The atmosphere was amazing and the service exquisite. I've had one of the best desserts - bread butter and milk. I also loved the mutton and chicken, but all the dishes were amazing.

The food is really good! Great ambiance and service. Best meal in Bergamo.

The location in Bergamo is average, but the interior is carefully chosen. We visited the restaurant as a family of six. The Italian cuisine is local, very tasteful and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the traditional menu (5-courses with the restaurant signature dish - pasta). The service is very friendly and helpful. The pice is little above average, but justified by the quality & creativity of the dishes we had. We will visit the place in Bergamo again.

After reading some good recommendations of this place, we went for lunch a Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of space when we arrived. We received a warm welcome from the waiter, who spoke good English language. We both had the beef tatar and the famous pasta dish from the region Casoncelli. Both dishes were served quickly and were both wonderful. All in all a very good experience and we can really recommend the place.

Excellent food at reasonable pricing! The Interieur is tasteful, service quite nice and after asking, helpful. I mistook natural wine for bio- Wine and , after asking was informed about my probable mistake. Thanks for that. Proposed wine was excellent. Nice place!

The best food we had in Bergamo by far. Great attention to inventive flavours and quality ingredients, elegant environment and excellent care and hospitality from the 2 gentlemen front of house. Well worth seeking out!

Every detail was perfectly attended to. The food was the best we’ve had in Italy. We would definitely drive an hour to eat here again. Also there is a medium sized parking lot right in front of the restaurant. We stopped here on the way home to Verona from a day trip.

We had a fabulous lunch in sophisticated and stylish surroundings. The service from Danielle and her colleagues was outstanding. We hope to return.

We spent such a nice evening in this fairytale of a restaurant on our first night in mantova. Very tasty and inventive food with the highest quality ingredients, amazing and so friendly staff, decorated with well selected design elements put together with exquisite taste, last but not least, absolutely not overpriced in regard of the overall quality. Grazzie Mille !

This is a restaurant-lovers dream! If you look at the reviews, you'll see that my wife (Amy) reviewed them last week and me this week ... that is because we returned just one week later for our second visit to Cigno (and it is an hour drive for us). The food is impeccable - think Michelin restaurant level, and the restaurant is beautiful with outdoor patio seating and inside seating. Food and decor aside, it is actually the service that will win you over. The team is just absolutely amazing! We cannot wait to return.

A gem in the heart of a beautiful historical city. The food is amazing, the restaurant is extremely well decorated and the staff are very welcoming. Thank you Daniela for the experience! We will definitely comeback!

Excellent restaurant serving classic Mantuan food. The service was impeccable - my wife and I speak limited Italian and arrived with our 1yo son and no reservation, but the staff welcomed us with no hesitation and made us very welcome. Highly recommended

One of the best restaurants in Mantova. Il Cigno is simply one of the best restaurants in the city - historical venue nicely decorated, great service and excellent food. The menu is based on historical recipes of Gonzaga family, presented in a modern and elegant twist. Wine list well curated. Beautiful garden. Prices are higher than the average, but the value for money is great. Extremely recommended.

Beautiful dishes and quality ingredients. Very creative—deserving of a Michelin star. The highlight is the old building and the incredible restaurant vibe. I loved every moment there. I also appreciate that they allow you to order any dish from the tasting menu à la carte if you don’t want to do the full tasting menu due to time or portion size. I tried the "ramen no ramen," which was very good but had a small portion. The taste was excellent. The eel dish my partner had was also very good. Service was top-notch, with detailed explanations of every dish. I had to ask them to explain in English because everyone else at the table was Italian, and they accommodated me perfectly. Thanks for the great experience. I highly recommend this place.

Simply spectacular wedding ceremony at the Borgo Antico and amazing lunch at Due Colombe. The dishes were superb paired with wine of the same level, ranging from an incredible violet potato cake with red shrimps aromatized with Franciacorta to a revisited Manzo all’olio. Everything absolutely top class with excellent and friendly service in a scenici location. Simply perfect

Wonderful experience. The beautiful atmosphere, exceptional service. Perfect and informative wine pairing and a most delicious snd enchanting lunch. We’ve gone twice,a year apart, and hope to return again soon.

Beautiful place, great view and a creative cuisine. The selection of dishes and different tasting menus makes for a perfect reason to return. The staff is very welcoming and nice. Every dish was executed very well.

We were invited for a wedding there. The food was amazing, the service wonderful. The location is perfect for a wedding. Such an elegant and romantic spot in the vineyards near lake Iseo. Sara is the perfect host, everything was well organized and went perfectly. Such a beautiful evening.

The chef created a feast. The food for the mouth was artful presented. Tasting dishes paired with various wines complimented the distinct flavors of the food. Attentive staffs. Elegant decorated space etched in my memory.

A Michelin-starred establishment in Franciacorta with typical local settings and revised traditional dishes-very good marrow rice and beef in oglio (perhaps the most typical local dish).

Extraordinary food at a place that embodies what an osteria can (and should) be. They do not take reservations and there's a short wait until you can be seated for lunch. While you wait, you can take a picture of the day's menu written out on a blackboard. We didn't have to wait long, and we shared a communal table with a pair of lunch goers. Gorgeous, simple, seasonal, local dishes made perfectly. The house reds, and in particular, the lambrusco, were a perfect complement to our lunch that included savoury crepes, fettucine with seasonal greens, polenta and local fish. Desserts featured an apple cake and chocolate budino. Highly recommend if you happen to be in or even near Mantova (Mantua). And, if you're not, plan a trip so you can stop here for lunch. It's worth it! (pictures show the end of lunch service: when we arrived it was full)

Absolutely outstanding cuisine All the dishes are a must try Special highlight for the risotto

Authentic, good cuisine, daily menu written with chalk on a board; wonderful people working there and very fair prices. You can get dishes that are less common elsewhere. Don't expect an English menu, but instead expect that people from neighboring table will recommend you what to eat. It was a wonderful cross-table conversation/experience (i was there for lunch). Great, social place. Would go there again if I would stay longer in Mantua.

Decent restaurant. Full of locals. The polenta was good and the applied pie was a combo pie and cake and was amazing.

Cosy and authentic, 10/10

Topperia

(Translated by Google) An old, traditional osteria recommended by a travel guide. It's located in a small alley very close to Piazza Sordello, making it very easy to find. They don't take reservations, so we had to wait a few minutes. Excellent value for money, with traditional dishes prepared just like in the old days. The place is truly an old osteria, so expect a bit of noise and sharing a table. Excellent service and friendly staff. (Original) Antica e tradizionale osteria consigliata da una guida da viaggio. Si trova in un piccolo vicolo molto vicina a Piazza Sordello e quindi facilissima da raggiungere. Non accettano prenotazioni e quindi abbiamo dovuto aspettare qualche minuto. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo con piatti della tradizione preparati come una volta. Il locale è proprio un’antica osteria, quindi aspettatevi un po’ di rumore e di condividere il tavolo con qualcuno. Servizio ottimo e personale gentile.

Overall a nice place, good cuisine. But way too expensive considering the village where the restaurant is, that is in the middle of nowhere. You cannot price it as if you were in Milan.

The cuisine delights with the impeccable quality of its dishes: plates are meticulously presented, and the menu offers a fine array of flavors. Portions, though slightly modest, remain elegant and refined. The terrace, overlooking a charming square, adds an extra touch of charm to an already welcoming setting. While nothing detracts from the culinary merits, the experience is somewhat diminished by a lack of warmth in the service: staff were seldom smiling and showed little inclination to guide diners in their choices. A pity, for without this shortcoming, the moment would have been truly enchanting.

Wonderfully warm reception in a truly historical location off the beaten track. Although we arrived 10 minutes before closing, we were still treated to a feast of cold cuts, cheeses and local delicacies. Can’t wait to come back to sample the full menu.

Awesome restaurant. Excellent service, kind staff, best local dishes tried so far in the zone. Highly recommended. At a fair price! This place doesn't even need this review for locals, everyone that lives here knows it's famous and people comes here for this from far away.

We went there for the Apero. The environment is so beautiful and calm. We had some Spritz and they were good. Their syrups should be better though, either homemade or better brands. There was an impolite message for people with children though, a bit dry for hospitality.

This out of the way restaurant is outstanding. Well worth the drive.

Is hard to find a better place for contemporary trattorias in Italy. Tradition at its best in a wonderful venue, kind and expressive service and really interesting wine list. A must in the area

We were searching for something to eat, then we decided to go home because our child was tired. Luckily the service told us, that they have take away. We were so lucky, because the food was delicious! Finely tuned, the best meal and restaurant in a long time!

A really nice Japanese restaurant. architecturally speaking the interior design did a great job. The staff is very polite and knowledgeable. The mise en place is simple. The dishes proposed were created with excellent raw materials, treated in the preparation and presented with the classic Japanese taste. The bill is a bit high for a lunch. We will try again for a dinner.

"I found myself near this place for work reasons during a trip to Milan for my company. I appreciated the selection and the quality of the fresh fish offered, tasting the dishes with an excellent first choice wine. Elegant and very discreet atmosphere. Recommended for managerial work situations".

The food was fantastic, both in presentation and taste. I was not expecting world class Sushi in Milan but was pleasantly surprised. The staff and service were both top notch and I will be sure to return when back in town on business.

Probably the best Japanese restaurant in Milan. The food was amazing and the staff was very polite. Must have is the Tartare Kandoo. Will visit again!

nice presentation of the food but not my favorite place to have a great sushi very clean place calm good service friendly staff.

Lovely restaurant!! Very nice and friendly atmosphere and stuff! Very good and quality food! Highly recommended!

A thoughtful approach to cooking — you can truly feel the passion and care in every bite. The café felt like an art gallery, with delightful wine and delicious food.

Really nice restaurant. The quality is superb, and the waitress very kind. Highly recommended

We had an amazing server who was young and from crema, he was very kind, knowledgeable, and we had a lovely conversation with him at the end of our visit about the town of crema! Very international friendly and a great place to stop if you want some delicious food for a great price! - Ellie

Really cool ambiance. Great service and food!

The place is great, the drinks are good Buț the menu is not diverse. I felt that the food selection was limited and that the prices are very high for the amount of food that they offer in a portion.

Nice visually. Food wise mediocre. They put in the effort but the combination of tastes didn't work.

This is a must stop if you're in this part of Italy. Excellent service, nice wine list and food is "ottimo"!

Tucked away from the tourist crowds, this spot is a true hidden gem for Lombard cuisine. The dining room was filled with locals - a testament to its authenticity. The antipasto spread was exceptional, featuring top-tier cured meats, zucchini fritters, and a standout chicken pâté. Polenta uncia was a revelation - rich, buttery, and an absolute must-try. The veal kneecap salad was surprisingly delicate. Pizzoccheri was an earthy, buckwheat delight, though its cheesy richness may not be for everyone. The braised beef cheek melted effortlessly, packed with deep, slow-cooked flavours. Impeccable service, with a waiter who patiently guided us through the menu. Well worth the detour.

The atmosphere here was very pleasant — not overly fancy, but very homey and comfortable. All the dishes looked delicious, with a great selection of local specialties. For me, the only downside was that there were no fish or seafood options at all, and only about three vegetarian dishes to choose from, which felt a bit limited. Still, the dish I ordered was absolutely amazing — one of the best pastas I’ve ever had in Italy. The second dish, a meat option, was also fantastic — I even got the comment that it’s been a long time since we had something this tasty. Nothing more to add — a lovely restaurant, lovely people, lovely service. I really enjoyed it. If I lived here, I would definitely come back again

We went there for New Year’s Dinner and it was amazing 🤩 Food was delicious, staff was lovely and friendly, atmosphere was perfect. We had a huge amount of food and we recommend this nice restaurant to anyone passing Como.

Too busy eating to write a damn good review.. this place is phenomenal while I take the last bite of the cheesecake.

Super traditional Lombardi food. The full menu is recommended. I took the Risotto and the Chicken and both were delicious. Its a around 20 minute walk from the lake but it's totally worth. The price / quality is very good.

After the look down the perfect start. We had a delicious lunch - very attentive service - and I just love the cosy garden. Thanks for that and we definitely will be back.

Molto bene! Great local restaurant. The semifredos and agnolotti were dans yole. Make sure to have a reservation :-)

One of the best place to go if you are in Bergamo Alta. 👌💫 Just lovely place, great local food and very nice people working in.👌✌️👏 Fav place! Right away from the funicular, very comfy. Must go if you wanna try a very very good salumi tagliere and casoncelli. And also a good glass or bottle of wine. Nice one! 🚀

At Antica Osteria Del Vino Buono in Bergamo, the service was great, with staff that were very welcoming and friendly. We began with a shared plate of charcuterie and cheese, which offered a nice mix of flavors. This was followed by the ‘drunk’ risotto (daily specials) and ravioli; the risotto was fine, though it didn't stand out in flavor. The ravioli, filled with meat and topped with sage, bacon, and melted butter, was exceptionally tasty. The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant further enhanced our enjoyable dining experience.

I’m still thinking about the pasta weeks later, one of the most flavourful dishes I’ve had in a while. Service was lovely, well priced and good atmosphere inside.

The food is pretty bad for the restaurant. They brought what they claim to be a “slowly cooked pork” within 10 minutes, which means it’s premade. Feels like I ate in a school canteen a very mediocre dish. The tomatoes they brought were not quite fresh either. The interior and service is good, but I’m disappointed with a food a lot, waste of money.

Lovely family run restaurant! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Our waitress had a great knowledge of allergies, specifically gluten free. Lots of old family recipes - all our food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back next time we are in Bergamo!

A wonderful local and authentic place to eat. Our waitress was so friendly, explained each plate and suggested wines to accompany the meal. It’s not expensive and the food is very good.

Very basic food done poorly. No excuse to serve tasteless, watery risotto. Worst meal we've had in Italy. The toilets stink and the smell wafts into the restaurant.

We had a lovely dining experience here during our trip to Como. The service was exceptional, with the staff providing great insight into the history of the wines paired with each meal. The complimentary starters were a delightful touch, bursting with amazing flavours. For our entrée, we chose the gnocchi and ravioli. While the starters set a high standard, the pasta dishes didn’t quite meet our expectations in terms of flavour. My partner’s main course, the beef cheek, was delicious, but unfortunately, my duck breast was a bit tough, and the flavour didn’t quite come through. However, the apple pie we both had for dessert was absolutely incredible and the perfect end to our meal.

Spent a week on Bellagio, Lake Como and went into Como town once to eat here specifically. Such a special restaurant and experience. They made the tasting menu special for me because of my dietary preferences. The waiter was very attentive and the chef an artist. Definitely a special experience as the photos show the beautiful and delicious food.

Came on a friend’s recommendation and left satisfied. We did the Forest dinner tasting menu at 130 euros. I am gluten intolerant and they accommodated very well including a nice bread served warm. Aside from the mushroom amuse bouche the rest were good. My favorites dishes were the tempura and the hare which was a wonderful texture. The service was excellent and the chef also kindly came out to say hello. It was a nice cozy place with comfortable chairs and lighting where the table spacing makes it easy to have a conversation.

This place is INCREDIBLE! It is a perfect hidden gem with six tables and definitely Michelin star quality. We dined here for my 40th birthday and it was absolutely perfect! We did the autumn tasting menu with the wine pairing, which was perfect! The server was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Chef made his appearance many times bringing out dishes. The attention to every detail was stunning. This was by far one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. ❤️

This establishment truly epitomizes the pinnacle of our culinary journey. My wife and I experienced a romantic yet delectable evening here last night. Opting for two courses each, rather than samplers, we were delighted by the exceptional taste of every dish. The restaurant’s mastery in utilizing local produce and cuisine transported us to an idyllic hillside village, offering a truly unique experience that is quintessentially Como Lake.

The Only Thing Worth Tasting Here Was the Bread. TLDR: Come here if you want to food that looks expensive. Avoid if you want food that tastes good. Below is a breakdown of what I ordered along with pictures and my thoughts on each element of the meal. Amuse-Bouche • Visually striking—I’ll give them that. But the cherries? All show, zero flavor. The “rice cracker with white dollops”? Supposed to be crunchy, but instead, flop and soggy, stale—so not good. And the mushroom concoction? Tasted like mushroom powder—dry, earthy, dirt-like. Definitely not appetizing. Main Courses • Faux Gras Ravioli: Served cold and the pasta was hard—not al dente, just unpleasantly rigid. Flavor? Like vomit, thanks to a bizarre strawberry pairing. • Sturgeon Dish: That gray cylinder looked neat—but tasted overly fishy, not fresh. And that green oil—maybe basil? Way too overpowering, just ruined it. • Red Pepper “Spaghetti” with Peppercorn Ash: Clearly not house-made—boiled-from-a-box quality pasta with acidic red pepper sauce reminiscent of jarred paste. Peppercorn ash? Visually interesting, but overall, just three flavors: red pepper sauce, plain pasta, and ash. Home-cookable in five minutes. • Duck Egg with Green Oil: The duck egg itself was actually decent. But that wasn’t made by the chef - it was thanks to the farmer who raised the duck. The chef strikes again with an intense celery-heavy green oil (basil? coriander?)—the balance was just off. Overpowering celery clashed with everything. Cheese Platter • Four out of five cheeses tasted like they’d gone bad (or maybe they were just too much rind?). The jam pairings? Random and nonsensical. Even if the cheese had actually been good, 30 euros for such a small quantity of cheese was way overpriced even for a “fancy” restaurant like this one tries to be. I didn’t take a picture of this but each piece of cheese was 2 inches by 0.5 inches by 0.5 inches. The Bread • The only redeeming moment: fresh bread studded with basil, tomato, and olives. Flavorful, satisfying, actual craftsmanship. It should have been the center of the menu—honestly. Not sure if it was made at this restaurant, more likely they purchased it from a nearby bakery. Service and Atmosphere • Service: Surprisingly decent. The waiter was actually funny. He was slurring his words and dropping things on the ground while walking around, but still a charming guy. • Atmosphere: Upscale but stuffy—overly dramatic spotlight lighting on food, total Instagram-bait. Tables are too close; you could hear every word from neighbors. Everyone whispered awkwardly. Chairs were not comfortable. They did provide a little hook for my wife’s purse which I thought was thoughtful.

We celebrated our anniversary with a private, intimate lunch here and it was truly unforgettable. The seasonal menu captured the essence of autumn perfectly — each dish layered with earthy flavors that transported us to a cozy campfire and a crisp picnic in the forest. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it feel personal and special from start to finish. Every detail, from presentation to service, was thoughtfully done. We left with full hearts and happy palates. They also took a polaroid photo of us as a memento. Will definitely come again.

Excellent service, very particular yet cozy environment, delicious food, you can taste grand Italian classic meals!

Lovely atmosphere and service - high quality food. Beautiful little gem

It's a very nice place to have a romantic dinner

Just perfect. Creative and really good.

Wonderful experience!!

Super

Delicious polenta with mild taste, so the toppings really upgrade the dish. Local, fresh ingredients, good prices and fast service! The local salami was just delicious!

The lady who is serving the food is very kind and helpful! We have food allergy and she showed us all the ingredients of the dishes in a notebook. The food is also very tasty.

The food is so good. It was August when we came but I can’t imagine how amazing this must be on a cold winter day. Service was so fast and friendly. But the food was simply something else. I wolfed down the Ragu of Wild Boar and was tempted to go back for another but I quickly realised that I was full. But my eyes, my nose and my tastebuds all wanted more. The food is faster than macdonalds, cheaper than macdonalds, and so much healthier. If I lived in Bergamo I’d eat this every day

I visited this place and ordered polenta – the taste was original and really interesting. The portion was very generous, so I couldn’t finish it all. The staff was polite and efficient, and the dish was served quickly.

Great food option for a chilly autumn day. It's a warm, cozy meal, the portions are very filling and you have quite a few options for sauces. I took the mushroom sauce without cheese...grear for lactose intolerant vegetarians! There are a few seating options in front but it's best to take it with you and find a spot overlooking the city.

We stopped for a lunch unplanned. This small kiosk-like offers variety of polenta with different ingredients. Recommended. Small space to sit but the square in front is typical Italian, in the heart of Bergamo alta. Good food. Service can improve.

The local polenta restaurant in Citta Alta in Bergamo. The price was reasonable and the food was perfect, even espresso was great

We decided to dine as it had quite a nice rating and it looked nice from outside. The building has a nice exterior and interior - high ceilings, big windows etc. What looks good isn't always good. Though the place looks nice and a bit posh, it's not. Food is mediocre - I had gnocchi and veel cheek. Gnocchi was quite tasty but the veel was bland and lacked any character. The worst part was the service. It took more than an hour to get our second course. Without any excuses. In addition they forgot the coffee from my partners fixed menu order. Again, no excuses from the staff. In general - a place that tries to be fine dining but fails miserably.

Very unprofessional personal! High prices and very slow service in empty restoration.

Nice garden, friendly staff. Pretty much everything else went wrong.

One of the best and most beautiful restaurants I’ve tried

Lovely food and decor but service was a bit slow and the restaurant was like a sauna.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant owned by the hotel and next door to now even if in a detached building. The staff is the same that serves breakfast in the restaurant room (another different one) in the adjacent Bigio hotel. The service was attentive. The bill is not paid directly at the restaurant but everything is charged to the room account with a single billing at the time of checkout therefore. Strangely at the restaurant they do not serve San Pellegrino water but Tuscan cream water. All the dishes we ordered were of excellent quality, truly delicious! I really would not have expected this from a hotel restaurant ... The room was full but the staff was fast and attentive. I ate better here than in many other starred and renowned restaurants that pretend to be great gourmets! Congratulations really !! Rating 5 stars! (Original) Ristorante di proprietà dell’hotel e di fianco ad adesso anche se in edificio distaccato. Il personale é lo stesso che serve la colazione nella sala ristorante (un’altra diversa) nell’hotel Bigio adiacente. Il servizio é stato attento. Il conto non si paga direttamente al ristorante ma viene caricato tutto sul conto della camera con una fatturazione unica al momento del checkout pertanto. Stranamente al ristorante non servono acqua san pellegrino ma acqua panna toscana. Tutti i piatti che abbiamo ordinato erano di una qualità eccellente, veramente buonissimi! Veramente non me lo sarei aspettato dal ristorante di un hotel… La sala era piena ma il personale é ststo veñoce e attento. Ho mangiato meglio qui che in tanti altri ristoranti stellati e blasonati che si atteggiano ad essere dei gran gourmet! Complimenti veramente!! Voto 5 stelle!

(Translated by Google) The fish was rather average in taste, though beautifully presented. The lamb was good and tender. Elegant surroundings, subtle jazz music. From the garden, there was a beautiful view of the Art Nouveau thermal baths building. (Original) Dość przeciętną w smaku ryba, choć pięknie podana. Jagnięcina dobra i mięciutka. Eleganckie otoczenie, subtelna muzyka jazzowa. Z ogrodu piękny widok na secesyjny budynek term.

We’re so grateful for the unforgettable evening we had at Mudec. Every detail—from the exquisite food to the impeccable service—was flawless. It was a truly special way to conclude our anniversary trip. Dining with them on the same day we experienced The Last Supper in Milan made the evening even more meaningful. If you are given the opportunity to dine here, opt for the tasting menu with pairings. It is totally worth it! I have done a lot of Michelin dining, and this was the best service I have ever had. They were personable, fun, and helpful, with flawless English. The food of course was absolutely perfect -- They even accommodated one of our party who doesn't like seafood. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!

One of the most amazing restaurants in Italy for sure. We ordered a la carte, but what a surprise that the restaurant delivered what could be considered a full tasting menu with welcome “rare” cava, starters, surprises, and more. The service was amazing and very attentive. Thank you for an incredible experience.

We had family reunion lunch with 10 people at the restaurant Enrico Bartolini al MUDEC. I am grateful that the food and the service made the family reunion a memorable one. Our lunch was more than a meal—it was an emotional and sensory celebration. We had the "MUDEC experience" menu. Each dish, from the citrus‑bright seafood starters to the soul‑warming mains and playful desserts, left its own impression. Add to that the elegant yet welcoming service, and you have a recipe for memories that will last far beyond the table. The menu was brilliantly curated, balanced, and beautifully presented—worthy of its three Michelin stars. A truly unforgettable feast that honors Italian tradition while pushing its boundaries. Some of the dishes as I can remember: Finta melanzana aubergine with scampi, the Po‑river oyster enveloped in a sphere of herbs, the "fake" Rocher with beef tartare and fois gras, the smoky fillet of lamb, and the rhubarb and strawberry dessert. Although the waitstaff were young, their service was absolutely impeccable—attentive, prompt, respectful, and perfectly pitched for a joyful family reunion. Their warmth and professionalism elevated the entire experience, making it feel personal and effortless.

The only 3 star Michelin restaurant in Milan. The quality of food here was, as expected, excellent. We opted for extended tasting menu with wine pairing. The dishes were variable and well balanced, with some being heavier and hearty and others light, with acidic and briny tones. My favorite was probably "Bee ravioli" (stuffed with honey duck), although everything was very tasty. The presentation of dishes is suitable for location (modern art museum), with some dishes reminding abstract art made of food. The service here is a thing of its own. It is not only attentive, but also less formal then in other restaurants of the same caliber, and even somewhat playful). I felt that the place is less expensive then many other 3 star restaurants.

Dinner at Enrico Bartolini a 3 star Michelin restaurant, another dinning experience where food is secondary! And perhaps chef is experimenting with techniques rather than creating flavorful dishes. The highlights were some of the amuse bouche and the popcorn inspired dessert! Overall 2/10. Wouldn’t recommend it.

I came here for lunch and got the Mudec Experience menu. It was A LOT of good food. I wish I had got the Best Of menu. I ended up not being able to finish all the desserts. Out of everything from the menu, the bee ravioli did the most for me. The meat dishes are handled very well here. They were probably the best meats that I had during this trip to Italy. The service was amazing and probably was the best part of the meal. The servers were waiting on a table next to me with 10+ guests, and they moved gracefully like they were doing a waltz. Wine list was great. The space is gorgeous.

I've dined at Enrico Bartolini for my 100th Michelin meal. This place is the only 3 starred restaurant in Milan and it highly deserves it. From entrance to leaving the team makes you feel special. The food is just amazing and full of surprises.

I adore Ukrainian/ Russian food and this is my second visit to this restaurant. Service is very good, decor is lovely and menu choice is interesting. Prices are too high though (and first time I visited the bill was incorrect, so check) but the food is tasty enough. Some of the meals were less than average and also a small portion, and I suspect some items are cooked from frozen. In Ukraine this place would get a rating of 2 or 3 from me

Was really looking forward to eating at one of the few Russian/Ukrainian/Georgian restaurants on Milan. The inside decorated nicely. Made a reservation easily online. Dogs welcome. Unfortunately the food just wasn't that good nor authentic. I had shashlik but i wouldn't call it that, seemed more like pieces of meat with Georgian spices. Very expensive also for portions. Maybe other things are better to try. They also forgot one of our orders. We kept waiting for it to come but it didn't. Also service was pretty slow for not being too busy. Not very attentive either. Oh well.

Love the experience!! The place is super cute. It’s the first time I’m trying Russian/Georgian food and it’s so original and tasty!! I had Kachapuri which is super nice and comes with a guide on how to eat it, love it. I highly recommend and will come back to try other specialities 😍

We went to Milan for a weekend and we discovered this restaurant which surprised us with full of flavours amazing food and atmosphere. The owner of the place was very, very nice and helpful. As a chef I highly recommend this place and the food definitely 👌

I was really missing home food, and Veranda was exactly what I needed. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. A little piece of home in Milan, highly recommend.

My first time reading Russian food. My Russian colleague to me there. The lady (owner) was fantastic. She was very kind and timely. Food was very tasty. I highly recommend this if you want a taste of Russian food.

The food was good, I highly suggest to try homemade pelmeni and shuba salad! Russian music, welcoming atmosphere and Russian/Ukrainian kitchen. There are not so many places inside so better to book in advance.

Edit: We came back again, this time with the kids :) We visited both the bar and the restaurant. The restaurant truly impressed us – the service, the food, the wine. The atmosphere is beautiful. They even made special accommodations for the kids’ meals. All compliments! — Great location. Beautifully decorated ambiance located on the lake. A large selection of drinks, ice cream, sweets and food. Excellent service and friendly staff. High recommendations!!

Very bad experience with a rude unpleasant waiter just at the entrance. Mind you the castle is beautiful and intriguing and so it's normal that many tourists are curious and want to know information about it. But my husband and I were looking for a place to go have dinner that evening and since he had to stay with our dog, I had to go ask. As soon as I saw the waiter asked if I could pose a question, he rudely told me to stay outside and he couldn't answer any questions unless I was inside as a customer. But right before that, he responded to inquiries of tourists before me that were asking about the castle. So I conclude that since he was looking at a small black woman, he immediately decided I am not worth the time. Congratulations if this is how you treat customers

Me and my girlfriend came here to celebrate her birthday and had a wonderful experience. First of all the ambiance itself makes the dinner feel worth it, it's classy and elegant but stays in touch with what should be a welcoming environment. The food was incredible. We had starters and a main course that were very tasty and definitely had a modern feel with the base of Italian tradition still present. They also had a long and curated wine list. I personally recommend the tiramisu, as it was probably the best I ever had. The staff was kind and at the same moment extremely professional. They give you a feeling of being welcome and they interact with you on an appropriate human level that is the correct bridge between familiarity and elegance. Highly recommended

Great location, very good service, dishes are tasty and well served.

Perfect place for coffee and drinks, staff there are so friendly and welcoming

An incredible evening that we spent on our way road tripping north. A true hidden gem with Michelin-level dining at an extraordinary location.

After 3 summers of passing this beautiful restaurant on the way to our holiday destination, my boyfriend surprised me with a fantastic birthday meal here. The staff were incredible - a particular thank you to Nicolò for his kindness and hospitality. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the atmosphere is really magical. Thank you so much for a fantastic birthday - we’ll be coming back soon!

Great little place for sandwiches & salads. Clean, fresh food and friendly staff.

A great restaurant for a quick bite. Locals love the sandwiches, pizzas and salads. You can eat outside and people watch.

Terrible service. Sat us down with a baby and let us wait for 20 mins before telling us they had cleaned the machines so we have to leave.

Salads are really good here. The sandwiches are okay.

The best sandwiches in Cremona. Definitely.

was nice

Tasty

It's a lovely place with delicious food, and the service is fairly good. However, if I were to offer a critique, it would be regarding the small LED lights on the ceiling. They are somewhat bothersome, especially considering there are beautiful chandelier lanterns that would be much more appealing but are turned off in favor of the cheaper LED lighting.

The Bussines Lunch is a wonderful deal in this magnificent dining staple in Brescia. The Meat Menu is fantastic, featuring a loaded Tartare with amazing Buffalo cheese and a healthy portion of Roast Beef topped with a fresh & delicious rocket pesto alongside a classic preparation of Potatoes. Service was excellent and the inside is well maintained.

Truly delicious food, good service and ambience. Wines are also very good. Pricey but worth it.

Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service and top quality food.

Special atmosphere with the location. Food was good and tasty, waiters friendly. An upscale place for locals, not touristy. Nice dessert choice as buffet over lunch

Had an excellent dinner here at a nearly empty restaurant. It was also an experience, in many ways.

Beautiful food, especially the risotto and pasta dishes. Superb service and atmosphere. Top restaurant in the city offering classic Italian food and wine.

Incredible food, worthy of a trip! The restaurant is cozy, chic and located in the quaint town of Gargnano in Lake Garda. While the dishes are seafood heavy, the chef was able to alter the selections to accomodate my shellfish allergy. Best lemon risotto we have ever had!! The dishes are so light and delectable, especially the branzino. Don't miss out on desserts. Beautiful porcelain serverware. Highly recommend- 10/10.

We visited the place with our extended family, we got served with a four course menu, which were very delicious. Each course was well presented, creative and tasted excellent. The restaurant deserves its Michelin star well and there should be potential for more. Everything was perfectly arranged and tasteful balanced food, together with the wine selection. Service was smooth, efficient and ever-present. The overall experience was excellent and we will be back.

Five course tasting menu is the way to go if you are here for the first time. Everything was phenomenal the food the service and the ambiance 👏the pasta dish was the highlight of the meal.

What a wonderful restaurant with such attentive hosts. I would love to go back again, for the atmospheres, the good wine recommendations but above all the truffle pasta with the local cheese. We couldn’t have wished for a better evening! Many thanks to La Tortuga!

Excellent experience and wonderful dinner. Michelin star really deserved and great attention at the quality of the ingredients, the interesting recipes and the great staff service. Restaurant is small and this conveys a special atmosphere. Will come back again as menu changes often and I guess each season has wonderful ingredients to offer!

Simply divine fine dining experience with Lorenzo and all of the attentive staff at Ristorante La Tortuga. Dishes were sublime, service was without fault and the atmosphere was gezzelig beyond compare. Will recommend and return

La Tortuga is hospitality at its finest. Orietta is a perfect host, her mother is a superlatively good chef and her daughter is a very professional waitress. From the moment you arrive at the jewel like space you feel enveloped by a sense of love and care that extends to all aspects of the experience. The food is very refined and they have a great wine selection. I would especially recomend the linguine with fish ragu and the zabaglione, both of which were memorable. Expensive but great value. I recomend booking well in advance.

Great Panini for a very fair price. You can choose the length of the panini and there are great options to choose from. We had one with hummus, spinach and cheese, which I can highly recommend. Payment is only possible with cash.

Amazing sandwiches. We stumbled across the shop as it opened and there were only 4 sandwiches so get there early to avoid missing out! The owner was incredibly passionate and explained the options in great details and the options we had were delicious !!! Highly recommend!!

We picked up some filled sandwiches from this sandwich bar, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The service was genuinely friendly, and I was especially impressed by how well they handled my dairy allergy. Instead of just pointing out what I could or couldn’t have, they kindly offered to make me a custom sandwich off the menu — and it turned out to be absolutely delicious! That kind of thoughtful service really makes a difference. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area.

Lovely lovely panini place, beautiful fillings.. fresh and local with artisan touches. Little seating place upstairs. A gem

Best local food - incredible sandwiches. Friendly staff. Great price

The paninis were delicious and quite cheap. We had the vegetarian option and the one with fish and we liked all of them.

Nice owner, took the time to tell us the ingredients in the sandwiches. Delicious and great price!

Rachel and I had a wonderful experience at the Peter Brunel Ristorante in November 2024. We were there for an early seating on a Tuesday evening and we were treated amazingly well by all the staff. We enjoyed some gourmet snacks and creative cocktails in the lounge area before we were seated at our table. Our dinner was amazing. Our server was super gracious. And Chef Peter stopped by our table a few times during the course of our meal. Impeccable service and attention to detail. We sat near the large window into the immaculate kitchen and the staff buzzed with calm efficiency. Please do beware of the desert department… after an amazing tasting menu the deserts kept coming in waves and nearly sunk us…. but were also very tasty. For the cocktails there were creative combos like a Negroni with a reserve Campari. The tasting menu was incredible with a story behind every dish. The wine pairing was perfect too featuring some very nice local wines. At the end of our meal the chef even made sure we had a taxi to make our way back to our Airbnb. Never have we enjoyed such great food, with such great service, and a genuine focus on the guests comfort and enjoyment. We loved this meal and would go out of our way to eat here again next time we are in northern Italy. If you are anywhere close do make a reservation and stop in. You will not regret it!

Very high standard fine-dining experience. We both had the 14 course tasting menu. Each dish was interesting and playful with flavours. Interesting use of various leafs in some of the courses, and they have clearly taken care to source incredible ingredients for the various dishes. View of the kitchen whilst dining is fun and the head chef takes his time to visit the tables during the service

An unforgettable dining experience. The food was amazing, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We don’t consume alcohol, and the chef personally ensured none of our dishes contained it—he even offered creative non-alcoholic pairings. The staff were professional yet friendly, making us feel welcome throughout. To top it off, Chef Peter Brunel himself gifted us freshly made spaghetti and a signed non-alcoholic drink at the end. Truly exceptional hospitality and cuisine. Highly recommended.

We were at this restaurant for lunch while on our honeymoon and were absolutely amazed by the amazing food, wine and service. We were welcomed with a nice glass of champagne and some bites and decided to go with the chef's menu for lunch. Both the regular menu and the vegetarian menu were very impressive, whereas in many Michelin star restaurants we experience the vegetarian menu to be disappointing. The dishes are innovative and tasty and were accompanied by great wines. The desserts blew our minds and especially the vegetable dessert was one of the best we ever had. Altogether it was an amazing experience. Definitely a must go for food lovers who are in the Garda lake region and better than many other Michelin options at the lake.

Excellent restaurant. Nice setting with garden view and friendly people. We had the tasting menu which was quite wonderful. The influence of Peter Brunels time in Peru showed and gave us tasting surprises. Very good wine pairing!

Peter, but also Andrea, were incredibly nice and considerate, that made the experience for us. Thank you! Would love to come back one day, hopefully sooner rather than later :)

A paradisiacal, magical place. It was one of the most special experiences I've ever had and I will treasure it forever. Peter Brunel is a genius, a true artist. The food is absolutely incredible, and the place is truly beautiful. What a wonderful team, and what an incredible attention to every detail. This is truly a unique place. Passion at its finest. It was moving to witness such artistry and a joy to be there. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have lunch there and proud to have met a national treasure. Thank you from my heart.
