Caffè del Tasso 1476

This place is a vibe. Right next to the cathedrals in Piazza Vecchia in Bergamo Alta, tucked away in the corner is a nice caffe that can get busy at times. Great for a brioche and espresso in the morning or aperitivo as the sunlight dances along the facades as the day concludes, this place is great to leisurely spend your time, either by yourself, a loved one, or friends.

Very cozy and charming place. The location is great—very quiet and peaceful. The menu mainly features meat specialties. The food is incredibly delicious, beautifully presented, and satisfying to the senses.

We had a great meal – the food was good and the service staff were friendly and quick. We didn’t have to wait at all. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and really enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere, good drinks, and a comfortable noise level.

After staying a few nights we tried this restaurant for our last night. The food was fantastic and fairly priced, the service was exceptional! This is the first restaurant where we felt there was no rush to move us on, a very enjoyable night. Would highly recommend.

We had drinks with complimentary snacks. No restrictions even if we were not having dinner at dinner time.

Came in the morning, very crowded inside but we sit outside. Very nice spot with great coffee and waitresses who not only speak English but also know the history and know how to do a small talk. Food was tasty, apple pie was moist, can’t complain over tost with cheese and ham. The biggest attribute was location.

The food was good but the waiters were not cheering. Customer satisfaction should come first. There were 4 people there and I asked for 4 menus and they brought only 3 and told us to share them, They acted like it was our job to make them satisfied not them. They are not giving free meals, we are paying for everything so they have to make us happy. We felt their eyes on us. I believe they have been serving there for about 500 years but they haven’t got many options to eat and non-alcoholic drinks for the ones who don’t drink alcohol. Overall food and location are good but the people who worked there aren’t nice. I hope they change their attitude before the place’s reputation is over because they are treating their customers like enormous.

We were disappointed. Based on the reviews, we expected much more. While the food came quickly, we waited far too long for the bill and felt ignored. Classic tourist trap — staff avoids eye contact and the service feels rushed and uninterested. Next time we’ll grab something to go and enjoy the city instead.

This restaurant is part of the "Locali Storici d'Italia-Historical Establishments of Italy" because it began in Upper Town in 1476. The name changed in 1681. The restaurant has changed and my food was excellent. I loved their version of a Caprese salad and the polenta with mushrooms was excellent. I had a hard time eating my food out of aluminum pan because aluminum reacts with food and our bodies can't excrete aluminum. It is stored in our brains which causes Alzheimer's and brain tumors. (I have sold Alzheimer's pharmaceuticals.) I pray the aluminum pan was only used as a serving pan and was not cooked in the pan or the cookware in their kitchen is aluminum. A chef/restauranteur should know these facts. I loved my affogato. The birds are a little aggressive in the piazza and many attempts where made to eat the bread in my bread basket. Great location but the service petered out after my food was delivered.

Take in the magnificent views in the Piazza Vecchia in the upper town of Bergamo from an outdoor table in the Caffe del Tasso. The Tasso is a versatile double-fronted establishment; out of one door comes your coffee or other libation, your snacks or light meals; out of the other comes your ice cream or patisserie. The interior of the bar, too, is very nice: at the back there is even a comfortable lounge with armchairs, settees and stocked bookshelves if you wish to linger. None of this is apparent from the modest exterior. It is not the cheapest location in town, but the service is good, the snacks are tasty, the pastries are excellent, and the views are superb.

This little gem of a place in what is probably Bergamo's most famous square is an absolute treat at any time of day. Positioned in the heart of Bergamo's Citta' Alta, with perfect views not only of the square itself, with its stunning architecture and fountain, but also of the awe-inspiring Basilica San Maria Maggiore and the Duomo which peep out from behind the arches of the Palazzo della Ragione. This reasonably priced and typically Italian cafe provides a wonderful, cosy corner to soak up the atmosphere of the old town or hide away on a sofa and catch up on business or with friends. This tranquil haven also offers a much welcome opportunity to sample the traditional Bergamescan pasta, casoncelli; a delightful dish that has never disappointed! I have yet to venture into the gelateria but from my experience of the cafe, I have no doubt that it would offer the same friendly and attentive service and many delicious treats to tickle your tastebuds! One practical advantage of this particular cafe is that it serves food all afternoon where as most of the other cafes and restaurants in this part of town have a break between lunch and dinner. This is a useful tip for a starved tourist who may need a mid-afternoon munch after exploring the city and its exceptional views.

On my last trip to Italy, this place was my favorite. Nothing fancy, just good, italian comfort food. I had the ravioli and a glass of wine. My friend and I sat outside and smoked cigars. Great for people watching, with beautiful views of the square. Prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly. Make sure you check this place out.

Very good Cappuccino, very good service, we realy could recommend this place. Even the place is very nice to chill out and take a look at the historic city
