A
Ristorante Masseria
Masseria’s supremely sweet tortelli di zucca is among the best in town; other house specialities include Mantuan beef stew with Lambrusco and polenta, and platters piled with local cheeses and dollops of mustard. Choose to eat in the cobbled square, or in a 13th-century dining room overlooked by a 15th-century fresco – the oldest depiction of the city in existence.

Trattoria al Teatro
Located in a centuries-old building at the west end of the città alta, this family-run spot has a limited but constantly changing menu of down-home local dishes. Choose from a handful of primi and secondi, with such local classics as casoncelli alla bergamasca, followed perhaps by a filetto ai ferri (a grilled beef filet).

C
Trattoria Due Stelle
Timber-panelled walls, sturdy dark-wood dining tables (each with candle) and great grub entice locals and outsiders alike to sit down for a feast. They do some excellent risottos (try agli scampi mantecato alla citronette – a creamy risotto loaded with crayfish and touched with citronette dressing).

Colleoni & dell’Angelo

Hosteria ’700
Behind the dilapidated facade and a row of parked cars lurks a sparkling gem. A series of vaulted rooms set a romantic scene for hearty Lombard cooking. Try the marubini al brodo o al burro fuso (meat- and cheese-stuffed disks of pasta in broth or melted butter), a Cremona speciality.

Vineria Cozzi
Sample the extensive wine list by the glass and dine inside or in the tiny courtyard. Several pasta and rice options lead the way, and you might follow with a rabbit done in local Valcalepio red wine. The desserts, with a slightly modern touch, are all homemade.

Da Vittorio
Bergamo’s acclaimed Vittorio is set in a country house 9km east of town and is up there with the best restaurants in Italy, not the least on account of its truffle dishes (a special truffle menu can cost €280). They also have some rooms (single/double €200/250).

Antica Hosteria del Vino Buono

Agnello d’Oro
With the incredible clutter of objects adorning every wall, this 17th-century spot could easily pass for an eccentric antique shop. Rooms here (singles/doubles €55/92) are attractive, and you can dine alfresco in summer.

La Sosta
Set partly in the stables of a 1610 palace, La Sosta excels at finely tuned gastronomic creations. The filetto di vitello alla scamorza affumicata (a veal filet cooked in smoked cheese) melts in the mouth.

Osteria Porta Mosa
Dark, polished wood tables are offset by aquamarine decor and art hanging on the walls. The almost sugar-sweet ravioli di zucca (pumpkin ravioli) are especially good.
