La Scagna — Restaurant in Bergamo

Truly incredible. The customer attention was excellent since the moment we opened the door of the local, it was quite full, but they found us a spot for us in a matter of seconds. Then, as a present, they gave to us a little bread with tomato and oregano (I think) and a kind of wine that was spectacular. Then a waitress told us the menu of the day in a perfect English and took care of us along all the dinner. The polenta with cheesse and bacon was great, bit the ravioli... filled with pumpkin cream, and mixed with butter and cheese... it was astonishing, I could eat them all day. But everything that we saw looked so good and tasty that I wanted to try everything in the menu.

The price is really good, cheaper than other locals the food were way better.

The local, the music and the ambient were just perfect to be relaxed with friends, family or a date.

*Is a bit difficult to appreciate the quality of the food in the picture, but just because we were willing to...

What an absolute feast for the mouth!

I had tried to enjoy the food at la Scagna on my first day in Bergamo but the place was sold out for that night and the following lunch. Luckily I could visit it a few days later before leaving Bergamo.

The casoncelli were superb. A wholesome taste that was worth the trip I did from a near town.

The polenta taragna was delicious and incredibly rich.

I love strong tastes but I found the wild boar to be maybe even too strong.

The beer from a local brewery was a great match for the food.

I wish I could have been able to eat also dessert but unfortunately it was not the right night for me.

I found the personnel to be extremely kind. They also helped me in any way when on my way out I bumped into problems finding a taxi.

Definitely a place where I want to come back when...

La Scagna was recommended to us by a local. It did not disappoint at all.

A lovely friendly welcome ensued. Menus were brought and discussions about wine started. They have a large selection of very good red wines, not so much white wines (which we both prefer). But the event is about the food. The wine is a nice addition.

After a perfectly reasonable length of time, our orders arrived.

Wow!

My polenta and gnocchi topped with cheese was heavenly. So heavy and filling, but in a really really good way.

My other half had the meat ravioli. I pinched one, of course, and it was fabulous. The pasta cooked to perfection and a tasty filling. My partner would have preferred sauce with it but that's just a personal thing. Never mess with tradition!!

And yes, going back...
