Itinerary
In the heart of Bergamo Alta, we’ve selected dishes that capture the region’s food culture: from traditional farmers’ meals to richly prepared meats, and even gelato stracciatella, which was first created here.
Guided by our local Foodie, you’ll follow a secret itinerary within the Città Alta walls, exploring bold flavors and delicate scents, from the origins of Lombard cuisine to the contemporary Bergamo food scene.
Let’s begin the tour with a classic aperitivo, featuring toasted bread slices topped with a variety of local garnishments. Each bite is perfectly paired with a glass of Valcalepio red wine, allowing you to savor the rich flavors of the region and set the tone for the culinary journey ahead.
Duration: 45 minutes
Next, we move to our second stop. In one of Bergamo Alta’s most charming restaurants, we’ll savor traditional casoncelli or Foiade, a classic Sunday dish of the local tradition, experiencing the authentic flavors that have been enjoyed in the region for generations.
Duration: 45 minutes
We’ll stroll past Piazza Vecchia and arrive at our next stop, where we’ll taste the famous polenta with lard and cheese, a hearty and traditional dish that perfectly represents Bergamo’s rich culinary heritage.
