Noi

Top choice in Bergamo


More esoteric than your average trattoria, Noi is a chameleonic restaurant that changes it spots between lunch and dinner (they even change the restaurant sign). Lunch (under the moniker 'Rame-noi') has an Asian-fusion theme with ramen noodles heading the bill, while at dinner, it returns to its Italian roots with five-course tasting menus endowing local food with fusion influences and presenting it like food art.

Noi's two charismatic young chef-owners take risks with dishes such as pomegranate and cheese risotto, cauliflower in creamy horseradish sauce, and raw prawns in ginger. You never know what's coming next.

Five- and eight-course tasting menus (€35 and €50 respectively) are the way to go and far more economical than other gourmet restaurants.
