Your Itinerary

La Citta Alta

(Pass by)

Bergamo is the split-into-two town: Bergamo Alta (‘the high Bergamo”) and Bergamo Bassa (“the low town”), joined by the historic cable car. Within the heart of the beautiful Bergamo Alta, we selected the best preparations, capable of presenting in one dish the food culture of the area of Bergamo: from the farmers’ traditional meals, to the richly presented meats, to the gelato ‘stracciatella’, which was first created in Bergamo indeed. Escorted by our local Foodie, you will discover a secret itinerary enclosed within the walls of the Città Alta, created following strong flavours and delicate scents, starting from the origins of the Lombard tradition and taking us to the contemporary Bergamo food scene that we know today.

Palazzo e Giardini Moroni - Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni

(Pass by)

Let's start the tour with a typical aperitivo with toasted bread slices topped with local garnishments, sided by a glass of Valcalepio red wine

Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

(Pass by)

We then move to the second stop. In one of the most charming restaurants in town, we will taste the traditional casoncelli or the Foiade, the Sunday dish of the local tradition.

Piazza Vecchia

(Pass by)

We'll pass by Piazza Vecchia and reach our next stop where we are going to taste the famous Polenta with lard and cheese.

Our tour with Massimo was a lot of fun. We had a great time walking around the city and he showed us the greatest spots to have a good glas of local wine and specialities from the region. All that with some interesting historical facts about the city. We would totally do this again!

Me and my family were really happy and satisfied with the food tour! Massimo is a super guide and made the tour comfortable and fun. We learned a lot about Bergamo and italian colture. And we got to visit places we would never find, and taste food we normally would not order. Overall, we were positively surprised! It was a fun experience, and we are glad Massimo was our guide:)

Do not miss this experience! You won’t regret it. It’s spendy but worth it. Alberto knows his onions and is a wealth of knowledge about everything Bergamo! We had a great time with him and our fellow Norwegian/Danish foodies. We felt the places he chose were just right for the tour; local and intimate with great stories behind them. A wonderful afternoon we will not forget!!
