Ā Ā Ā Read moreArrived at our accommodation quite late and next to this bar, so went to get a relaxing drink. Our server (David) was super friendly and helpful and on that first night we had craft beer which was excellent.we were only on a 5 day break but apart fro the Saturday when the place was wedged and we couldnāt get a table we went there every day.

The bar was clean and well looked after and we would recommend it to any visitor to Bergamo. Thank you David....

Each round of drinks has been delivered with a smile and a tasty morsel of food to help us on our Italian journey but also tempting us to stay for one more drink. That has now turned into five Aperol spritz each and I would honestly say I would stay longer if i didn't have to be up in the morning to catch a train. Wood; we arrived, it delivered, I...
