Pizza Time In Terno d'isola

24/03/2025: 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.

23/03/2025: 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!
