DeGusto Birra & Cucina In Bergamo

12/09/2025: Let me be clear: this is not a hotel, nor a guesthouse, and I don't think it's intended to be. I prefer to call it an ethical hotel in the heart of lower Bergamo, just steps from the train station, housed in a historic religious building that retains some of the typical features of a place of worship, but also has an unexpected secular soul. Many guests choose it for its convenient shopping options, its proximity to a hospital, and the possibility of taking advantage of a self-service restaurant open three times a day, catering to a diverse mix of experiences, cultures, and ages. The rooms are simple but well-appointed, recently renovated, with en-suite bathrooms, shared laundry facilities, and views of the stunning cloister. Kudos to the self-service kitchen team, who, with just a few healthy ingredients, prepare balanced, hearty meals suitable for everyone—adults, children, and the very young. And thanks to the kitchen staff, who are like mothers, providing ladles full for the very young and just the right amount for those with weight issues and other issues. Eating in this large, bright canteen is an experience within an experience. Humanity is beautiful and all the same when faced with a good plate of spaghetti!

11/09/2025: An excellent facility for those with relatives hospitalized at Humanitas Gavazzeni (with a special agreement), but also for students, workers, or groups. Clean, simply furnished rooms are regularly and thoroughly cleaned. Amenities include a laundry room, relaxation room, garden, vending machines, a simple breakfast bar, and, most importantly, a cafeteria. The cafeteria is also popular with outsiders; the menu is varied and very reasonably priced. Special thanks to Rudy, Arianna, and Mrs. Terry at the cafeteria for their kindness, friendliness, and helpfulness.
