La Minuta del Donizetti In Bergamo

Top! While walking we saw the place, small and intimate, it seemed like a cuddle... just what we were looking for and luckily we also found it! Fantastic staff, kind and sincere, the dishes were really excellent, we had the lard tasting and the quality was really clear, second cheek... it was cut with a spoon and not in a manner of speaking... but literally... they really know what they do in the kitchen! For those who have complaints about the prices I would say that in a tourist area you know you pay a little more, the really bizarre thing is finding a place where you eat really well and that is worth the trip! Don't be discouraged by the reviews but at the same time if as customers you always demand reason... well go ahead and leave room for those who appreciate the good work of this business!

Not bad. I find the reviews too harsh

Probably the single best meal I had this trip. The food is prepared with a delicacy that is hard to find. I don't get the bad reviews. Of course you're going to pay fine dining prices for fine dining.

Beautiful place in the center of upper Bergamo, delicious food and very kind staff

Fantastic place! Delicious food, competent service – we received excellent advice about the wine. The ambiance was very nice and cozy. The casoncelli were great! Thank you for a wonderful evening. I don't understand the negative reviews at all. For good quality (which this restaurant definitely offers), you have to spend money, and that's fine! The restaurateurs have to earn something too!

Aperitif in the center, very nice place, friendly staff and good food. A little expensive, but you also pay for the area

The fresh oysters were delicious

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.

Good wines by the glass. Brunellos, ribolla, lots of them and a good part of them in the glass. Good wine cellar. Good dishes and snacks.

Bellissimo posto Ottima cucina e carta dei vini
