Trattoria da Ornella In Bergamo

Overall, a very good experience, especially for the quality of the first courses. Here are the details of our lunch: 🍝 First Courses ​We both had the casoncelli: simply spectacular. They are expertly made, truly delicious, and highly recommended to anyone passing through. 🥩 Second Courses ​The Single Course (chosen by my partner): A generous and very rich mix that includes taragna polenta with mixed meats, the excellent "Ornella special" rabbit, flavorful garlic and parsley chicken, sautéed porcini mushrooms, and yellow polenta. A great way to try everything. ​My Second Course (Braised Beef with Polenta): The meat was good, although I was surprised by the presentation: I expected diced braised beef, but it arrived sliced. ​Note on the service and polenta ​The only downside was the lack of flexibility. I wanted to replace the yellow polenta in my braised meat with taragna, but the waiter told me it wasn't possible. If I had wanted it, I would have had to order an extra portion of taragna on the side. A bit of a shame because of the stiffness. ​Conclusion: The food is good and the flavors are authentic. I'm taking one star off only for the polenta issue and the different expectations for the cut of the braised meat, but the rating remains a solid 4 out of 5.

We ate the fixed menu, a single dish, with good polenta, excellent rabbit and pan-fried chicken with porcini mushrooms. It's a shame that drinks are not on the menu. Overall, we were satisfied. The people were up to their standards, and they offered us a Trentino Moscato grappa digestive, a real delight.

We went to this trattoria for lunch at the recommendation of friends. We had a wonderful time. The quality of the food is excellent and the portions are generous. We also enjoyed the hospitality shown by those who welcomed us and looked after us throughout the meal.

Tasty food and very good service. Definitely recommended 🥰

Excellent trattoria in the upper town. It has a small dining room with limited seating, so reservations are recommended. The staff is attentive and helpful; to get a laugh, you have to involve them, and they're incredibly friendly! Traditional Bergamo dishes. Salami, Rabbit, and Polenta Taragna—my favorites! Thank you

We found it by chance while walking. We hadn't booked, but we still found a table. The food is excellent, authentic and tasty. The portions are generous, and the prices are a bit high, but perhaps in line with the area. We'll gladly return.

Brilliant. Delicious. Very nice people.

Food & wine was amazing - traditional dishes from the region and city❤️‍🔥

We arrived on a Sunday for lunch without a reservation (a serious mistake), but luckily a table turned up. The menu was simple, super home-style, and reasonably priced for a place right in the city center. We had a single dish (a generous but manageable portion) with rabbit that exceeded all expectations—superb! A braised beef with polenta (excellent), a portion of casoncelli, and a portion of polenta taragna (delicious). The staff were like a trattoria, so there was little time for conversation and pleasantries, but they were very kind to my children. If you're looking for a Michelin-starred waiter, go elsewhere. Recommended, but reservations are required.

Don't expect the moon but the food is really good!!!!!!!
