1. 1

   La Citta Alta

   Pass by

   Bergamo is a town of two parts: Bergamo Alta (“the high town”) and Bergamo Bassa (“the low town”), connected by the historic cable car. In the heart of Bergamo Alta, we’ve selected dishes that capture the region’s food culture: from traditional farmers’ meals to richly prepared meats, and even gelato stracciatella, which was first created here. Guided by our local Foodie, you’ll follow a secret itinerary within the Città Alta walls, exploring bold flavors and delicate scents, from the origins of Lombard cuisine to the contemporary Bergamo food scene.
