Osteria Al Borgo d'Oro — Restaurant in Bergamo

We chanced upon Osteria Al Borgo d’Oro, situated slightly on the the outskirts of ‘lower’ Bergamo, for a Sunday lunch after a weekend of gastronomic delight in this lovely city.

I had such high hopes from reading reviews.... However, from the moment we arrived we felt rushed and treated like a second rate customer. We were asked to decide on food and come back to ordering drinks after. The main course was served minutes after the starter and it felt rushed and not at all relaxed and the usual Italian experience of slow food and enjoyment. There was a slight misunderstanding on a drinks order and we were made to feel like it was our fault. Perhaps we got the waiter on a bad night, who knows? The other waiters serving other tables seemed much better. For the cost I expected so much more but I was left...
