"Locale molto ampio. Appena entri ti assale il profumo della brace. Carni molto buone, succose, tenere. Il punto di forza è il personale. Ragazze molto preparate e cordiali che sanno consigliare bene. Simpatico anche il proprietario. Cena a base di carne in 4 sui 250€. MA, ed è una cosa molto apprezzata qui al nord, ci hanno offerto caffè e amari. Bravi! Consigliato. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Filetto Alla Brace, Grigliata Mista Argentina, Tagliata Di Manzo, Patate Al Forno Con Burro"

"Visiting from New York, we probably would never have known or run into this place. But, my wife's family is from Treviglio so we were visiting them and they took us here the night before we were due to go home. As my wife said...afterwards, every dish was better than the last It was family style, and we had nothing to do with what was ordered, so all I can do is describe the dishes, but everything was universally outstanding. The restaurant itself is somewhat isolated, and I wouldn't be able to find it myself (I was following one of the family), but it looks like an old farmhouse or winery something we'd find in Napa. The inside is also reminiscent of a Napa restaurant. Quite homey. The staff (owners) were very attentive, which might have been because they knew the family or just because that's the way they are. They didn't seem to know any English and our Italian is rough (at best) but, of course, that wasn't a problem for us at this particular dinner. We started with a soft cheese and crackers dish that was followed by plates of various paper-thin-cut meats: two types of ham and one that looked like salami. Melt-in-your mouth delicious. The previous two dishes were the first entre The second entres were a risotto with porchini mushroom followed by a thinly-cut beef in balsamic dressing that also had zucchini and eggplant. We ended with a raspberry gelato cut into wedges and a home-made birthday cake (my wife's cousin in the Italian Cake Boss sorry, it's not on the menu). It might not sound like a lot of food by American standards, but we were absolutely stuffed by the time we left. And, the quality and flavor were fantastic! If you're in the area, and can find this place, you should definitely try it out."

"We were staying in the Winter Garden Hotel near Bergamo airport following a week in and around Lake Garda and were looking for somewhere to have dinner other than the trendy hotel restaurant. This place was recommended to me by a local so I took a drive out to recce the menu and spotted my wife’s favourite pasta dish (alla Norma). I was told there was no need to reserve a table during the week and we returned an hour later and got a table, although it was actually very busy for a Tuesday night and before long all the tables were occupied. From the outside, expectations would be low but the restaurant is somewhat hidden within a bar next to a petrol station and is incredibly popular with locals, we were the only non-Italians there. I speak Italian but they did manage to find an English menu for my wife, which helped with some of the unfamiliar menu items. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I must caution that the portions are VERY big by normal restaurant standards and would strongly recommend that you either forego a starter or just share one. My wife ordered the Formaggi alla Piastra and Miele (baked cheese with honey), which consisted of three large pieces of different baked/fried cheese with honey, walnuts, onion marmalade and apple sauce; it was very good but it could have fed four people as an after dinner cheese board. In addition I had ordered Potato Tart with Mushrooms, which turned out to be two large potato and mushroom stacks swimming in a creamy cheese “soup”, which was delicious but again huge! We had already been served some excellent seasoned pizza base, which is one of our favourites so by the end of the starters we were already full up! For the main I had ordered Tuna Fillet in sesame seeds, which was just okay because the crust of sesame seeds was a bit scorched, tainting the taste a bit, I had ordered a side of roasted potatoes, which were good but I regretted as it was a large portion. My wife naturally had the Paccheri alla Norma (Large type of pasta with a sauce of tomato, aubergine, basil and mozzarella), which was very good. There was a dessert trolley with around ten different, tempting desserts but we were so full that we had to pass, although I was sorely tempted by the Strawberry Tart. We ordered a quarter carafe of house red but were served a half carafe, only being charged for the quarter, which was very generous and the wine was very palatable. This restaurant was a great find and well worth the 4.7km drive from the hotel. If staying near Bergamo airport again, we would definitely return to this restaurant but would only order one starter!"
