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 wifeâs 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 âsoupâ, 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!

Poche sere fa siamo stati con un gruppo di amici all'Agriturismo La Balocchetta di Brignano Gera D'Adda.Era la terza volta che ci andavamo e non ci sono parole per descrivere le portate meravigliose che i conduttori di questa struttura sanno servire.Tutto è prodotto da loro,tutto è a Km 0,tutto meravigliosamente cucinato e curato.Primo superlativo,ravioli fatti in casa alle erbette e ricottina,la volta prima il miglior risotto della mia vita.Secondi: dagli affettati dei loro maiali,allo stinco e la faraona,stupendamente saporiti,teneri e genuini.Poi la crostata della nonna,mai mangiata prima d'ora così perfetta .Da impazzire.Finale : caffè fatto con la Moka e grappa bergamasca stupenda.Dimenticavo: si mangia in una stanza con un enofme unico tavolone con 12/14 posti.Posto adatto a gruppi numerosi di amici.Da tornarci.Lavora solo nei week-end,prenotare per tempo Location tipica contadina un pò difficile da trovare ma rintracciabile con navigatore e un telefono.

Had a pleasant dinner with friends. The food was outstanding. We had the 6 lune (pizzas), which we didn't choose, but came out of the oven with surprise topping. It would be a great choice if you wish to try many different kinds of pizzas at once.The staff is very friendly. Overall, this restaurant is highly recommended to those wishing to enjoy local delicacies and fresh home-made food.Gentile AlimaLa ringrazio per la recensione e per averci assegnato lâeccellenza. Mi fa molto piacere che abbia provato la âlunaâ, che è una mia specialità e con la quale ci si affida al pizzaiolo lasciandogli libertà totale nella preparazione della pizza. Grazie anche di raccomandare il nostro locale a chi vuole provare cibi freschi fatti in casa, dei quali siamo molto orgogliosi. Augurandomi di poterla ricevere nuovamente, le mando i migliori saluti da tutti noi.
