We went with my girlfriend to try the Gourmantico initiative.
The location is nice with a few well-spaced tables.
The service was always attentive and helpful.
The food was the only thing that didn't convince us 100%.
The "Sicily" format dish was the best of the trip.
The appetizer was also appreciated.
The first course with the shrimp bisque turned out to be very salty. If you didn't take the finger lime in the bite it was excessively salty. Unfortunately the finger lime was present in very small quantities.
We didn't like the second course either. Too many olives on the fish that covered everything. The potatoes also didn't help the dish.
Finally, the dessert was very much appreciated. It was the only dish in which there was a more daring combination (fennel, dark chocolate, tarallo).
The "refill" of the bread halfway through lunch was much appreciated.
The last negative note was the lack of transparency in the wording of the menu: "drinks paired by the Sommelier". Reading it like that we would have expected the classic dish/wine pairing. This was not the case.
Out of 5 courses we only received one welcome wine and another wine for the remaining 4 courses.
I certainly would not have expected 5 different wines, but advertising "wine pairing" on the menu did not seem correct to me. I hope that the wine pairing in the classic tasting menu is not like that.

Starred experience in Bergamo with the GOURMANTICO proposal. A very pleasant evening! The restaurant is just outside the city center, not immediately visible, but with parking; a private, informal, modern location, few tables, pleasant industrial-style environment. Beautiful! Young staff but very attentive to details in the service (it's the first time I've seen them fold your napkin with white gloves). Tasting menu (with matching wines) of flavors and raw materials from Sicily, a spectacle for the plates and the palate. Recommended without hesitation!

The influence of Sicily in Bergamo. A culinary journey through the flavors of the chef's homeland. Sophistication and creativity combined with the quality of raw materials. Attentive, trained, non-invasive staff. Must try.

Exquisite food and perfect service. Quiet environment with tables at the right distance.
Francesco and Francesca in the dining room are perfect....in the kitchen the star is more than deserved.

All’inizio ero un po’ scettica per via di alcune recensioni, fortunatamente mi piace comunque provare e decidere da sola cosa penso, perché è stata una vera sorpresa.
Sono stata al ristorante per un compleanno e, oltre al meraviglioso servizio, siamo stati letteralmente intrattenuti dai piatti. Non si può dire di aver solo mangiato, ogni pietanza aveva una storia e un gusto che non si può spiegare.
Una vera e propria esperienza che vale il sacrificio di spendere qualche soldo in più per festeggiare una persona cara o per regalarci una serata diversa dalla solita routine e dai soliti piatti.
