L'Araba Fenice In Fontevivo

14/04/2026: We arrived from the mountains of Bergamo, "Colli di San Fermo," 1100 meters above sea level, to visit the beautiful Fontanellato in a 43-year-old camper van named "scassino" (but inside it feels like Cartago in 2026 ;-) ). In the evening, hungry, we asked the locals for help, and they recommended this restaurant. We were amazed, it felt just like being by the sea: delicious spaghetti with clams, made with the freshest clams, crispy and dry fried fish, and a fish appetizer that smelled of freshly caught seafood. The pizza was enormous, made with two dough balls, crispy, flavorful, and very well cooked. Another noteworthy detail was a very mysterious character who was wandering among the tables, thin, tall, and very curious to know how we were getting on. We kept telling him that everything was delicious and that not only had the beautiful fortress amazed us, but also this welcoming, family-friendly restaurant with truly jaw-dropping cuisine! To our surprise, we found the curious and very intuitive guy, with a New Dandy style reminiscent of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character (if he'd had a pipe), at the cash register!?! In the end, it was the owner :-), who, with immense pleasure and in a friendly and welcoming spirit, showed us an already honest bill, giving us an additional discount for having arrived safe and sound from 1100m to Fontanellato in a patched-up 1982 Ford Transit camper Pilote, less than 5m long. Thank you so much, Mr. Sherlock, we will remember you and all the welcoming and kind staff. Until the next "burglary" adventure! Filippo and Stefy ;-) (the one with the gray hair in the hat ;-) ) See you soon!
