Trattoria Begnis Pierangela In Bergamo

24/11/2024: We tried the longest tasting menu for the early lunch. We loved the pumpkin starter, mushroom risotto, ricotta mousse and orange wine underlined with amazing energy of lady waitress. (They really chose a right person) . We started eating on our own in the whole space but shortly it was a full house. Sometimes we had a feeling that the potential of some meals wasn’t really squeezed to 100% but the beautiful decor and vibes of this non really touristy place made our day unique. Next time we would go for dinner instead of lunch 😊

19/11/2024: We arrived here after a selection of a few places proposed by 5 friends, a kind of Restaurant League. Osteria al Gigianca won. And we were happy that he won. We arrived at 8pm after making a reservation which I would say was necessary given that after half an hour everything was full, an easy and precise system, with reminder emails and SMS. We decided to do the Identità tasting menu route. As wines we chose the Franciacorta Rosé Natura 2019 at the beginning and the Mazon pinot noir afterwards. All the dishes were delicious, personally I have a preference for the giant sheep tartare, the free-range chicken liver ravioli with spring onions and the veal sweetbreads. In honor of the saying: your mouth is never tired if it doesn't taste like cow, we took a look at the menu and tasted the cheeses, and here we had great appreciation for the historic rebel (bitto! But you can't tell). So sweet, magnificent, coffee and, for three of us, coffee killer: Formidable bitter, very fragrant, and Rhum La Perle, white, never tasted and really good (who knows if it was due to Gigi's suggestion, but you could really taste the truffle). All in 3 hours spent comfortably and with a final cost of €475, an absolutely fair price for quantity/quality/kind and always attentive service/comfortable place/not too far in the center and therefore easy to find parking nearby. To return! And highly recommended.
