Truly a memorable meal in a lovely setting in the hills outside of Milan, this 3 star Michelin…read morerestaurant lived up to its rating. Arriving later than our reservation, we were warmly greeted and seated outdoors under a large awning. There were globe lights that warmly lit the area and the evening air was pleasant. Service was exemplary as one would expect. It's difficult to point out dishes when the meal is stellar but I really enjoyed the foie gras cherry with dark chocolate and the Iranian caviar. It's not fair to single out two dishes when everything was perfectly executed and beautifully presented. The duck was good, also, when I awoke from a brief nap and didn't miss the dish. (It was a long day!) What a great place!

During a stay in a B&B a few km outside Bergamo, we discovered there was a 3 star Michelin…read morerestaurant also a few km outside Bergamo. What luck. So we dropped in for what they call the "business lunch," a 5-course menu at 80 euro plus 35 for the wine pairing. The difference in food quality between 1 and 2 Michelin stars is pretty big. The difference from 2 to 3 is usually non-existent. The reason a restaurant gets the extra star is all the extras. Michelin standards demand them, and restaurants add them, and you pay for them. At Da Vittorio, those extras include the beautifully manicured grounds, the near 1:1 ratio of staff to diners, the real silver silverware, amuse-bouches, and a fun candy trolley that wheels around the dining room. There's also a ridiculous and luxurious bib that they tie around your neck (with total synchronicity between all the people at the table, another hallmark of 3-star service) in preparation for their paccheri al pomodoro, a saucy tableside preparation that doesn't really need to be prepared tableside (again, a hallmark of 3-star service). The best thing I ate was the few pieces of zucchini and roasted potatoes that accompanied a pan roasted sea bass. Don't get me wrong; the fish was perfectly cooked. Everything else was perfectly cooked, or raw, like the seafood crudo with zucchini puree and mint, another highlight. But another difference at a 3-star restaurant is there's some poor cook whose entire job it is to ensure that those little bits of vegetables are perfectly cooked. (They're called the entremetier, and I was one in a past life.) Eating humble vegetables treated with such respect is always a welcome experience. Why 4 stars then? Well, the place is a bit too much like Disneyland or Vegas. Or maybe even New Jersey, when it comes to the decor. They're very focused on Da Vittorio as a "brand;" everything is emblazoned with their logo, even the little purse stools they bring by the table. There's a Da Vittorio in St. Moritz, and one in Shanghai, which tells you how the family that owns the place is (deservedly) cashing in on that brand. All of that forced grandeur was, for me, an unintended and overwhelming consequence of the chase for those 3 stars. Also, they forgot to serve the dessert wine.

I ordered the pizza diavola and it looked like they used pepperoni (did not know that was even in Italy), canned olives and bagged shredded cheese. The separation of oils also led me to suspect it had been reheated. My friend ordered the rabbit on polenta and the polenta looked more like soup, the rabbit was incredibly greasy and it arrived in only a couple of minutes. I had panna cotta for desert, one of the simplest dishes to make but it comes out with a texture like cheesecake and fake strawberry syrup sprayed all over the plate.

One of the places recommended by our tour guide, it seemed relatively busy on a Thursday lunchtime,…read moreand seemed to have two of the local dishes we wanted to try -- the sardina essiccata and the local salumi. Our thought was to order a couple of drinks for our party of five, and both of those dishes as apps to share. It was only after we ordered the two apps that the waitress informed us we couldn't just share the food -- we each needed to order an entree as well. For some reason, we didn't just get up and leave, so we ended up having a lot more food (and paying a lot more money) than we had intended. Caveat emptor. That said, all the food we ordered (including those two dishes) was quite tasty, the (apologetic) waitress gave us friendly service (besides the house policy), and the view of the lake was pretty nice. (There were some adult tourists dining there who let their kids run around screaming and chasing each other and running across the street to feed the ducks and screaming some more, but that's not really the restaurant's fault.) Net-net -- a decent place to eat, but only if you know the house rules and are ready to eat a lot.
