Ristoro Pugliese In Bergamo

A delicious midweek dinner. Attentive and very friendly service (some dishes were chipped). The outdoor setting is welcoming and charming. Particularly popular: cavatelli with beans and mussels, prawns, and homemade desserts.

We ate outside, thanks to the great weather. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was very efficient and fast. Their traditional dishes are always very good and tasty. The price is a bit high, but it reflects the quality of the products.

A friend and I arrived at the restaurant around 9:30 PM to have dinner and enjoy a pleasant evening with wine. According to the sign on the door and online, the restaurant is open until 11:00 PM, so we decided it was a good time. We were initially informed that many of the items on the menu were no longer available—partly because "the fryer will no longer be running." This was disappointing enough, but we decided to stay and ordered two main courses and a carafe of wine. Unfortunately, immediately after receiving our meals, we were told that the owner had decided to close the restaurant early due to low traffic. From that moment on, the rush began: the waitress repeatedly approached us to ask if she could take our plates away, even though we were still eating. Eventually, they took them away without our permission, and then we were told we had 10 minutes to finish our wine. This is definitely not how we imagine dinner at an Italian restaurant—it's not fast food. At the end, there was an added 20% surcharge, which was, to say the least, inappropriate in this situation. I don't recommend it, especially if you're looking for a place with true Italian hospitality and culinary culture.

Great place to spend an evening, good food although perhaps a little expensive

Superb service, every dish was carefully explained, servers were very helpful. Food looked stunning and was delicious, I had to fight my "fast eating" habit really hard to enjoy everything as long as possible. Great experience, definitely coming again during my next visit in Bergamo. Cheers from Poland!

We arrived with a reservation at 8:30 PM. At 9:30 PM, still no dishes arrived and no information. The waiter takes the order back, mentioning a system problem. Now, at 9:45 PM, it's dinner time. Starter, main course. We wait to ask for dessert and coffee. They don't pay attention to us. After another 40 minutes, we get up and leave. No apologies, no discounts, not even bread was brought to us during the hour and 15 minute wait. What a disappointment. I left my heart there the last time.

Not to come back, I order a set menu with two dishes, they bring me the first dish and after waiting 45 minutes I complain to the waiter about the second dish and he tells me that the kitchen is closed without attending to anything, then I speak with the waitress that I placed the order with and she tells me that she forgot and that the kitchen is closed, in short she left me without eating, it is the worst thing that can happen to leave the client without eating due to the negligence of the waiters and then I told the owner and he did nothing either

Molto bene! Went for lunch and had a pasta dish. Was very good!

Ottimo locale, cibo tipico pugliese quindi di gustosa qualità, servizio impeccabile in particolar modo Mauro che ci ha consigliato, per quanto riguarda i vini,e a dir il vero con grande esperienza nel campo, una bevanda a dir poco azzeccatissima!!! Complimenti per il servizio molto qualificato. Ci siamo stati ieri sera io la mia amica e i rispettivi compagni e siamo rimasti contentissimi, quindi se ci fosse stata una stella in piu la metterei tranquillamente!!!!! Consiglio a tutti!!! ps un saluto a Mauro!!!

Chiediamo un tavolo per 3 alle 12:30 (senza prenotazione) di un venerdì e nonostante ci fosse posto all'interno ci fanno sedere all'esterno (spoglio). Dopo una seconda richiesta, ci fanno accomodare all'interno ma con l'attesa di dieci minuti per ricevere il menù perchè avrebbero dovuto stamparlo. La cameriera si scusa per il ritardo e ci comunica a voce i piatti del giorno non facendo riferimento a nessuno di quelli che avevamo adocchiato nel menù presente all'esterno del locale. Una volta arrivato il menù stampato abbiamo dovuto aspettare che un secondo cameriere ci spiegasse i piatti perché la sua collega era impreparata. Nonostante questo, i nostri primi piatti erano buoni, anche i secondi e i contorni di verdura. Il dolce, invece, non aveva il prezzo segnato e neanche tutti gli ingredienti: “torta ricotta e cioccolato” ma erano presenti anche nocciole non segnalate. La cucina in vista sarebbe una bella chicca se non fosse che abbiamo notato uno dei cuochi con lo stuzzicadenti tra i denti durante il servizio. Quello che si pensa essere il titolare, non molto solare; avremmo preferito essere serviti con più attenzione. Inoltre, le numerose opzioni per il pranzo di lavoro sono troppo confusionarie. Peccato perché la location è molto carina e il cibo è buono.
