Since we had to change the day of our visit to Bergamo, the original restaurant where we had…read moreplanned to have lunch was closed, so we wandered a little further up the hill and discovered Campanella, and were very glad we did. Cordial greeting by a friendly woman who appeared to be a proprietor, and we opted for the Menu Degustatione, a four course tasting menu which was 30 euros per person including a glass of wine. Well we needed a whole bottle of the lovely vino rossa della casa so the lovely server gave us a nice bottle of acqua instead. The local Bergamo specialties were all well represented with Tagliatelle with fresh porcinis, and their Casoncelli alla Bergamasca, a stuffed pasta, typical of the city in a butter and sage sauce, which were both creatively served in their individual cooking pans. Next we sampled local sausages on polenta and a fantastic sliced beef on polenta, like the most tender pot-roast ever. Dessert was a lovely Vanilla Ice Cream Affogato with espresso poured over, so I think you can see we loved the entire experience sitting outside under the awning with the perfect view of the surrounding hills.

The town is so small I wasn't expecting to find much in the way of restaurants or entertainment, so when we stumbled upon 27 on a Friday night and it was packed with people I was quite surprised. There is no water view from here but they have a small indoor and large outdoor seating. At the time of our visit, there was a really cool band playing, thus the large crowd. They kept everyone dancing. As far as the menu, they offer a full bar, coffee and some light bites like paninis. I got a cappuccino and a spritz. I had been dying to try one. Sadly it wasn't as good as I had imagined but okay overall. The prices were a bit high compared to other restaurants down on the water around the corner. I can't comment about the food since I only had drinks, but overall I give 3 stars for the "fun" factor

Oh, they are open 2 hours later than del Borgo, too. Try the malaga which is a beautiful rum raisin that I have been addicted to since trying 3 days ago.
