vineria cozzi In Bergamo

Nella bellissima cornice di Bergamo Alta, addobbata per il natale, ci siamo fermati per il pranzo di domenica in questa caratteristica vineria che si trova proprio sul corso principale. La location è carina, a tratti molto bella, necessiterebbe però di qualche accorgimento più moderno per rendere l’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Mi riferisco ad esempio ai tavoli, molto belli e originali, ma un po’ troppo ballerini; oppure ai servizi, stretti, un po’ angusti, senza possibilità di chiusura della porta e uno per tutta la sala…aspettatevi code. Infine anche la modalità di scelta del vino è a mio avviso completamente da rivedere: non c’è una vera e propria carta, ma l’ospite viene invitato sul bancone, dove si muovono operose diverse persone di sala, alle cui pareti si possono scegliere direttamente dagli scaffali le etichette. Non è un’esperienza piacevole, specialmente in orario di massima attività. A parte questo, il pranzo mi è piaciuto molto. A cominciare dall’antipasto, un crostone di polenta con trevigiano in saor e trinchetto di capra. Molto buono. Ho poi proseguito con un secondo piatto davvero ben preparato: una ciotola di pecora gigante bergamasca, in lenta cottura con crema di patate. Consistenza fantastica per una carne che facilmente può essere preparata male. Invece qui era un vero e proprio burro. A chiudere ho optato per un altro antipasto a base di uovo in fonduta, con tartufo nero, polenta e cialda di grana padano. Anche in questo caso un piatto dagli ingredienti importanti, ben equilibrato, elegante e gustoso. Il pranzo è stato per me accompagnato da un ottimo Corne 2016, uvaggio di Merlot e Cabernet Sauvignon (65/35%), prodotto da Le Corne. Un po’ eccessivo il ricarico a mio avviso.

I usually go around everywhere looking for places with a particular atmosphere, I have always been intrigued by the Bergamo Alta which presents itself with beautiful landscapes and in my opinion a Nordic countries atmosphere, I was sure I would have found, and here is the Vineria Cozzi. Enraptured by the typology, the furnishings, and the excellent labels present not only from the Territory, I am welcomed very well by the staff present, I ask permission to view the beautiful internal rooms, in which the lady tells me about the historical side. Right atmosphere, adequate internal temperature and jazz music in the background... I honestly get lost, regarding wine I follow their advice, the glass is accompanied by delicious food... The Winery reminds me of many places I have visited, Excellent, new retreat for future trips. Thanks to the ladies for their hospitality and professionalism... I had no doubts.. See you soon

In the beautiful setting of Bergamo Alta, decorated for Christmas, we stopped for Sunday lunch in this characteristic winery located right on the main street. The location is nice, at times very beautiful, but it would need some more modern measures to make the experience even more pleasant. I'm referring for example to the tables, very beautiful and original, but a little too dancing; or to the bathrooms, narrow, a little cramped, without the possibility of closing the door and one for the whole room... expect queues. Finally, the method of choosing the wine also needs to be completely revised in my opinion: there is no real menu, but the guest is invited to the counter, where various people in the room move industriously, on whose walls they can choose the labels directly from the shelves. It is not a pleasant experience, especially at peak activity times. Other than that, I really enjoyed the lunch. Starting with the appetizer, a polenta crostone with Trevigiano in saor and goat foremast. Very good. I then continued with a really well prepared second course: a bowl of giant Bergamo sheep, slow cooked with potato cream. Fantastic texture for a meat that can easily be poorly prepared. Instead here it was real butter. To finish I opted for another appetizer based on egg fondue, with black truffle, polenta and Grana Padano wafer. Also in this case a dish with important ingredients, well balanced, elegant and tasty. For me, lunch was accompanied by an excellent Corne 2016, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (65/35%), produced by Le Corne. The markup is a bit excessive in my opinion.

Excellent experience: good food in a warm environment. We will definitely be back ♡ Recommended wine: Kalos!

Good environment, good food, and excellent service! Nice ambient, good food, and excellent service!

Definitely the place where we ate best in upper Bergamo. Quick and easy booking process, lovely and warm environment. The dark chocolate and caramel soufflé dessert is simply unmissable. The only negative comment: the winery's bottles have a surcharge of €10 for each bottle uncorked at the table.

Fine Dining for Everyone! Never thought we would stumble into a restaurant of this calibre. Dishes were beautifully crafted but the art was in the execution of the balance of the matchmaking of the ingredients that made my taste buds dance and my heart sing. My Dark Cocoa Tartlet (savoury) was divine!!! If I am ever in Bergamo or in Milan, I will definitely come back to this under-rated restaurant again. The service was excellent. Tita looked after us wonderfully!!

An essential stop in all my Bergamo experiences.

Amazing food and super cool small restaurant with incredible ambiance

Precioso restaurante con (al menos) 3 habitaciones. Nunca cenamos aquí porque se nos acabó el tiempo. El menú parecía ser un poco extraño. Llamamos para después de la cena bebidas y la camarera era muy amable y muy servicial. Como no hay carta de vinos me llevó detrás de la barra a elegir entre su extensa colección de vinos. Y, sobre un tema recurrente, nunca había oído hablar de alrededor del 98 % de las botellas que se ofrecen. Nos conformamos con el Blanco local que habíamos visto mucho, Valcalepio por 22€.
