Al Carroponte In Bergamo

The house of wine. Let Oscar advise you and take a food and wine journey with him.

I find myself giving an ambiguous review. Everything was excellent: location, food, service. Excellent dining experience and high quality products. Unfortunately, the 3 stars are due to the lack of correctness with which off-menu items without a price on the list are offered. During the evening, on several occasions some courses not present on the menu were offered, from plates to small appetizers. Result Oysters €9 each, 4 pieces of long-matured parmesan €15. I repeat, the quality of the food is unquestionable. The customer should be correctly informed of the prices before being taken by the throat, and ordering something for which he will then pay a very high bill. A shame.

Excellent food, very good desserts

A simply exceptional restaurant. The food is of impeccable quality, with attention to the smallest details and capable of surprising at every course. The wine selection is perfect, designed to enhance every flavour. The welcome is extraordinary: you really feel like guests, not customers. Oscar, the owner, demonstrates a rare attention to both details and people, with a discreet but attentive presence, always ready to satisfy every need. An experience that leaves its mark. Highly recommended.

Original place in terms of location and furnishings. Young, welcoming, the labels dominate right from the pleasant path that accompanies the entrance. Oscar had spent a lot of time during a wine tasting and with kindness and savoir faire he made amends by showing up at every table. Special dishes, excellent champagne by the glass. Excellent service, pleasant and kind waiters. Well done!

SUPER RECOMMENDED!!! Best crudités in all of Bergamo, lots of choice, always fresh fish and not only that, but every single dish is taken care of down to the smallest detail. Every dish deserves a lot and a great choice of excellent quality wines. The caviar is also excellent. Suitable for family lunches, couples, business lunches or dinners, and even for birthdays. For example, I celebrated my 18th birthday here and I couldn't have chosen better. The staff is super available to fulfill every customer request and also super efficient. Oscar the owner is one of the most cultured and smart men known in the restaurant and wine sector, also nominated as a high-level sommelier. This place really deserves it!!!

FOOD AND WINE EXPERIENCE – BETWEEN FASCINATING BOTTLES AND VOICELESS KITCHEN There are places that captivate at first glance, and this restaurant, as a whole, is certainly fascinating: modern, well-kept, with an enviable selection of bottles displayed in plain sight, almost as if it were a wine art gallery. It's a shame, however, that so much light - cold, intrusive - extinguishes all intimacy. The environment, although elegant, is not very welcoming, almost aseptic, lacking that emotional component that should envelop the guest from the moment they enter. The service moves at an uncertain pace: not very attentive, at times disorganized. It must be said, however, that Peppe, a smiling and easy-going presence, manages to put people at ease, eliciting a joke or a smile even in the less fluid moments of the service. The interaction with the sommelier is less brilliant: a professional who shows confidence (and a commercial spirit), but who completely fails to listen. When asked for a wine around €70, the proposal went much further, up to labels from €160 to €440: an inadequate leap to say the least, which denotes more the intent to sell than the - much more noble - one of accompanying the customer in an informed and personalized experience. The kitchen? Disappointing. Little flavor, dishes that seem assembled rather than thought out, devoid of identity and that sparkle that distinguishes a cook from a chef. Even in the selection of oysters - an element that requires precision, culture and respect for seasonality - approximation emerges. No indication of the age or origin: a detail that, in a context that aspires to haute cuisine, makes the difference. In summary: an exceptional wine list that deserves attention and respect, perhaps to be enjoyed with some appetizers at the counter, in the company of friends or enthusiasts. But if you are looking for haute cuisine, emotion on the plate and a complete gastronomic experience, you won't find it here. At least for now. FINAL RATING: 5/10 Recommended place for drinking well, but catering is another thing.

The restaurant is very nice, informal and welcoming. Very good fish, an endless wine list, exquisite dessert and excellent service!

A security. Always interesting and quality gastronomic offer, even for an aperitif, after dinner or lunch break. Simply epic wine list, being guided in your choice by Oscar is an absolute pleasure. Pampering service, exquisite surroundings and many top-notch tastings.

Che dire ….. cantina fantastica e non c’erano dubbi ….. cucina buona abbiamo assaggiato un po’ di tutto . Bravi i ragazzi del servizio.
