This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

It looked a like a chain from the outside so we swept past it initially, only to decide it looked fine and came back. It looked like they were getting ready for the lunch crowd but we snuck in for an 11.30 coffee & cake; at €5.60 for 2 caps and lovely brioche, how can we refuse?! In all my visits, have only just realised that in Italy, what look like croissants are called brioche when they are filled or flavoured. Anyway, we had chocolate and cream between us to share, just lovely. This place is on the main street so then it's back out to walks in the lovely old town part of Bergamo.

It's right outside the Funicular exit, so has a prime position, and you could easily be tempted by its pavement tables and bright lights. You will pay handsomely for its services. After an early evening stroll we thought a glass of prosecco would be appropriate. On ordering, we were told it was 'Happy Hour' and there was a self-service food table inside for drinkers. We were booked into the 'Tre Torri' that evening, so although the nibbles looked good we said no, thanks. Then the bill for the prosecco was put on the table: 25 euros for a very ordinary bottle, found at half the price elsewhere. Ah well, let's get some value said someone, and he fetched a plate or two of morsels from the Happy Hour Table. The waitress pounced; the bill was amended to 30 euros. Apparently you pay a cover charge for the Happy Hour food. What's happy about that, when you're already paying premium rates for the drinks? The place is run by a Chinese gentleman and African lady. No slur on these people is intended when I say that I don't think they have quite got the hang of the Italian way of life.

Was on empty and needed to eat REAL food after a 6 hour train ride. Healthy options, specials and great smoothies sold me. Followed my delicious salad with an iced coffee and I was revived! Then a week later, staying at an airport hotel, we came here and even though the kitchen closes at 3 pm, and it was 3:20 pm (sigh) the owner said we could order whatever we wanted. I nearly cried. He must have sensed the hangries coming on, big time. I had the vegetarian club (€10) and my bf had a pastrami club (€11). While I usually go with whole wheat bread, the white bread was just great. Both of us had a smoothie, pure fruit and veggies, nothing more. And we had to follow it up with a coffee! The bakery case was tempting with cookies, pastries and cakes. Really appreciate the owner's kindness and really enjoyed this charming cafe.
