I've eaten much better elsewhere with prices like these. In addition the staff have no idea about service, they take our coats in the beginning only to leave you searching for them when leaving. And also, one hateful thing, which is unfortunately very common in Italy, is that they take your plate whilst you're still chewing your food. What's the hurry?? And I don't like to be left without a plate when my friends are still eating, even if I've finished eating.

Was invited by a business contact. But had to pay the bill. It was supposed to be a business lunch. The food was exquisite, the wine superb, the ambience beautiful, but the portions!!!!!! my god Lilliputian! 5 pieces of pasta as a starter and 2 mouthful as a main course. The apple strudel was a thin slice. The wine was superb as worth the price but as soon as I got home I had to eat as I was hungry. Thank you but not for me.

Our plane landed very late (23:30 pm) and had to rush to the hotel and then we couldn't find somewhere to eat. This was recommended by the receptionist and he was so right. Great food, even at that hour, great service and very clean restaurant. The owner is a very open person, willing to make us comfortable and always smiling.

had heard good things about this restaurant and reserved a table over 2 weeks in advance. The restaurant cancelled 3 hours before the booking by email. Would have expected more notice. Clearly dont want my type of business. Did a quick search on la forchette 10 minutes after receiving the cancellation and they still had availabilty. Will go elsewhere in futureDear Sir.We're sorry about that. We couldn't confirm the reservation.We started to call you in the morning by phone and we sent an email as well. All of that in THE MORNING. We cancel the reservation after six hours trying to get in contact with you.YOU DID NOT ANSWER. YOU DID NOT CONFIRM THE RESERVATION.NEXT TIME IT'S BETTER IF YOU GIVE US A CALL, WE SPEAK ENGLISH AND WE WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO HELP YOU.Best regardsDaniela and Nicola Zanini

We went there for dinner a bit after they opened, the restaurant is well kept and the service was always prompt, professional and friendly.We enjoyed our seafood (fritto misto very much along with amazing vegetables and proper cooked fries)Wine was also great and the sweets delicious also.Pizza looked great, since by the time we left it came full of locals mostly ordering pizza and seafood.It's a bit out of town, but have ample parking and definitely worth it to try it.Best dinner we had in North of Italy this time around.

We were invited by friends for a dinner. As meat lovers, we ordered the Australian Picanha - on of the best I ever had, even having lived in Brazil, where the picanha is traditional in all grill parties. Grilled to the point, nicely rare, as it has to be.Excellent vines, very nice and efficient service - an allround successful evening!

An unmatched setting for a unique experience. The gourmet restaurant of Relais San Lorenzo is embedded within a Roman and medieval Archeological site: an exciting door on time. The fine and high-level cuisine will allow you to taste the pleasure of Italia
Reviewed By jashe
The most amazing setting within the restaurant...you sit elevated over medieval and Roman ruins that they uncovered when they were building the hotel & it truly is spectacular.The service really was top notch and you were brought little appetisers and amuse bouche before during and after the courses.32 pages of red wines in the wine list and the sommelier really wasn't pushy, singing the praises of a cheap little Primitivo as much as the 100 euro Amarone we went for.A lovely little ceremony of preparing the wine and glasses to show off the wine's full potential and very long legs. Plus wine glasses that could probably hold a bottle each!Then onto the food...we were going to go for the 3 traditional Italian courses and skip dessert, but we only managed 2 as the portions were fairly generous.Incredibly tasty...there's no need to list what we had as I'm sure every choice would have been just as good.In the end it was around E220 for 2 courses for the 2 of us, but that included a E100 bottle of wine, so I thought a bargain for the setting plus quality of food & wine.The most expensive item on the menu was around 30 euros.Michelin Star service without the pricetag.

This is a classy restaurant. Set in the heart of the beautiful high town of Bergamo, it is a place for romantic dinners or a relaxed meeting of close friends or business colleagues.So when eight, thirsty English golf tourists crash through the door, it rather took the waiter by surprise. Not that we were loud but we were thirsty and we do enjoy a glass of wine followed by another glass of wine as we are studying a menu, which incidentally is terrific here, because this is Lombardian food and cooking very much at its zenith.So, after a while up came the first, crisp bottle of dry Lombardian white which did not stay long in the glass. Sadly it had not occurred to our waiter to recognise that our group were here to have a good time so we needed our stocks replenishing rapidly and were quite happy to pour out our own wine rather than him serve us.However that is the only criticism other than my main course, a perfectly cooked and flavoursome piece of pork that had been slow cooked over 20 hours, could have been hotter.Otherwise the food was superb, with the glorious casoncelli, a stuffed pasta filled with a sage sauce, butter and pancetta, described by one of our party as one of the most delicious starters he had ever eaten. I had a small tartare of the local beef which was sublime, and only wished a larger portion of it had been available as a main.Plates of local beef and rabbit were eaten clean as we eased into some decent cabernet sauvignon, which was now coming through from the shelves at a most pleasing rate.What for me was the highlight was the local cheese board we all had with a selection of Lombardy cheeses all matched on a plate with appropriate sauces. Our waiter, helpfully explained what they all were plus the sauces, known as marmellate or jams in Italy, but I forget now other than that they were universally delicious.Fire in a complimentary grappa with our coffee and we were eight happy chaps. Our group had been a test for the establishment but it had come through with flying colours.
