Review for Cafe de Paris
During our recent trip to Italy, Cafe de Paris stood out as a glaring disappointment, offering the only truly negative experience we encountered. The rudeness of the staff was unparalleled, leaving us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. Here's a detailed account of our visit to warn potential customers to avoid this place:
Unpleasant Welcome From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was unwelcoming. The staff barely acknowledged our presence and seemed irritated by our arrival. There was no greeting, just a cold, dismissive attitude.
Disrespectful Service What truly ruined our experience was the blatant rudeness of the staff. When we tried to sit and check the barcode menu, we were asked if we are two persons (we were obviously two) and made to change the table with curt, impatient responses. It was clear that they had no interest in providing any assistance or making our visit pleasant.
Immediate Decision to Leave The service was so offensive that we decided not to even order. We felt so uncomfortable and disrespected that, after a brief attempt to engage with the staff, we simply stood up and left. They were descussing us rudely in italian (i speak italian) This is something we have never done before, but the level of rudeness made it impossible to stay.
A Contrast to Other Italian Establishments Throughout our trip, we experienced the warm, hospitable service Italy is known for for many years. Cafe de Paris was the stark exception. Every other restaurant and cafe welcomed us with open arms, making this experience even more shocking.
Final Thoughts In summary, Cafe de Paris offers nothing but rudeness and a hostile environment. Save your time and money by choosing one of the many other wonderful cafes and restaurants that Italy has to offer. Our recommendation: avoid Cafe de Paris at all costs. Your trip to Italy should be filled with pleasant memories, not marred by unnecessary negativity.
I hope this review helps future customers make an informed decision. Italy is a beautiful country with amazing hospitality, but Cafe de Paris does not represent the best it...

Frequento bar e locali da anni e, come sempre non ho mai avuto timore di dire le cose come stanno. Le mie recensioni sono oneste, spesso dure, ma sempre sincere. E se una realtà migliora nel tempo, sono il primo a riconoscerlo. È proprio questo il caso del Café de Paris a Bergamo. Questo bar, situato in una posizione strategica con un dehors affacciato su Città Alta, ha sempre goduto di un certo movimento. È, per sua natura, un punto di passaggio continuo: un vero porto di mare. Ma fino a qualche tempo fa, nonostante la posizione e il flusso costante di clienti, l’atmosfera, per le mie personali esperienze, non era delle migliori. C’era qualcosa di pesante, quasi stantìo: un’aria poco accogliente, fatta di volti abitudinari e sorrisi assenti. Entrarci non mi dava piacere. Sembrava il classico bar dove si entra per necessità, non per voglia. Oggi si è trasformato, e lo si percepisce subito: nell’ambiente, nelle persone, nel clima generale. È diventato un locale brioso, dinamico, giovane. Non nel senso anagrafico del termine, ma nello spirito. Il vero punto di forza, infatti, sono proprio i giovani che lo animano e lo gestiscono con energia, ritmo e sorrisi. Il servizio è curato, l’atmosfera leggera e piacevole. Si entra volentieri, ci si ferma con piacere. A differenza di altri locali della zona che sembrano poggiarsi su una routine stanca o su una clientela consolidata, qui si respira qualcosa di diverso: una voglia di fare, di migliorarsi, di lasciare un’impressione positiva e quando si nota un’evoluzione reale, concreta, è giusto...

We noticed because we are not white/European he treated us badly and was discriminating against us. I think the coffee bar should put a sign that says white only or something so people my skin colour and complexion can understand this place is RACIST! He also threw our change after we paid back at us in an aggressive manner. We live here and are not tourists, we are locals and are sharing our experiences with...
