The fungi risotto and the gnocchi were very good (rich in flavors). The sallads (tuna, chicken) were more basic but good.

Delicious Casoncelli ! We stayed nearby and every day we saw that the majority of tables outside (or maybe even all of them) were taken. We were confused because both (Dal Carlo and Bar Basket) turned out to be the same place :) The outside garden is very cosy, service - we have waited very long time to order food, but I understand that since it was very crowdy. I must add that we were able to order (and receive) drinks almost immediately after we sat at the table. I recommend this place

Insanely good food with a homey atmosphere. Our waitress, a young lady was the perfect waitress - attentive and focused, always around but not overwhelming. There was an owner as well, who was king enough to ask how everything was tasting. If we are back in Bergamo, we will visit again!

Lived next to the restaurant for 5 months and the owner noted us, always greeted us and invited us for dinner. On summer evenings they have an amazing terrace with cozy atmosphere and ambience. Besides this, the food was wonderful! Must try the traditional casoncelli when in Bergamo and the gnocchi was so delicious! Felt like family and would recommend to everyone

A lovely family-owned Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff are attentive and friendly, and the local dishes are delicious. We chose the homemade pasta, and it was incredible. The combination of flavors and aromas brings pure delight. When we’re in Bergamo again, we’ll definitely come back!
