Enoteca Zanini

Bergamo


Run by two accredited wine sommeliers who have worked for Gualtiero Marchesi in Erbusco, this is a great place to sample regional wine by the glass. The red-brick interior makes for a cosy atmosphere and the menu features original dishes such as roasted octopus with chickpea purée and candy tomatoes, and home-made dumplings with braised beef tail.
