Trattoria da Ornella In Bergamo

A true hidden gem! Tucked away in a charming courtyard, this place boasts a beautiful terrace and incredibly attentive service. The polenta was absolutely divine creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It was served with the most tender meat that practically melted in your mouth. Definitely a spot you’ll want to return to!

In mezzo alla città alta, questa trattoria serve una cucina casalinga, né ottima né pessima, abbastanza pesante, con porzioni abbondanti. Una trattoria media.

Very good and fast, everything else ok.

Absolutely solid cuisine. Perfect for a short, inexpensive, typical and tasty dönch. The service is probably a bit inattentive due to the high volume. But all in all it's good value for money. The hare, polenta, the cheese plate, the mixed salad, the house wine, the bread: all very fine, solid and inexpensive. Can you go there?

When you plan a walk in the Upper Town in advance, you need to make a reservation for lunch. Today is Sunday 30 March 2025. It's 12.25pm, I'm about to cross the entrance threshold while the other diners head towards the back room to admire the view of the rock, I show up at the Sala meter, who welcomes me, asking me if we had booked. I reply, I'm PELLEGRINO, please, your table is there. I can and warn the diners. Let's all come in and take a seat. They hand us the menus. Among the many dishes of the day, we choose..... We savor what is served to us with gusto. The meats, cheeses and smooth Polenta and Taragna reign supreme, everything is enriched by a good 🍷 house red. For the damsels, some still filtered water, excellent for delicate digestion...... I thank Mrs Rosa and the owner for their kind sharing of culinary dishes from different but similar popular ethnic groups between Albania and Italy.

Excellent traditional Bergamasque restaurant, the specialties are excellent and plentiful. A beautiful address 😋👍

Excellent traditional food in the family atmosphere of the old trattorias of the past

Returning after many years, Ornella did not disappoint me. I opted for the Casonsei, good but a little greasy and for the main course (25 euros) good and plentiful. A point of merit for the polenta taragna. Good house wine. The environment is old fashioned but quiet. The service so-so. I recommend it.

Very unique and welcoming environment, excellent food and generous portions! Despite being in the center of the upper city the prices are honest! The main dish is recommended and, as shown in the photo, it is really rich! Compliments!

Abbiamo preso il piatto unico misto con polenta taragna, polenta gialla, pollo, coniglio e funghi tribolato. Ottima cucina e ottimo servizio. Buono anche il vinello della casa.
