La Marianna

Great vibes here. Very popular and turnover is fast, so it's okay to wait a while for a table. Staff are super friendly!

Day trip to Bergamo, I stopped by to try Stracciatella (chocolate chip gelato). It is a birthday place of stracciatella. I am not big chocolate chip ice cream person. It was creamy and it was good. I wanted wafer cone, it is only come in 3 scoops, 4.50 euro. The wafer cone was okay. The other two favors were pistachios and strawberry. Stracciatella was the best of the three. Is it better than other gelato, not really.

A beautiful venue with disappointing gelato. My friend and I stopped by during our day trip to Bergamo. Having previously lived in Italy and being a lover of gelato she was keen to have some at the birth place of stracciatella. Unfortunately our gelato was very melted and turned to liquid very quickly. When we spoke to staff they were dismissive and insisted that was the consistency of gelato compared to ice-cream. When my friend explained that she had lived in Italy and eaten a lot of gelato in her time, they started to backtrack offering to replace one of the three flavours she had ordered as the other two were still quite soft. Disappointing to say the least.

At La Marianna, the birthplace of Stracciatella, simplicity turns into perfection. A scoop of history, a taste of tradition, and the delicate balance of cream and chocolate that has enchanted the world since 1961. Pure Italian elegance in a cone.

Good Gelato, cozy place, and options of dessert. Even it is chill, the outside terrace is a good place to relax. Gelato recomended: Stratiachella Pistachio

Very nice place, especially in the evening, great taste of atraciatella and other cakes ❤️ Thanks fot the experience 🙏🏼

I'm cheating to write this review, because my wife has a special bond with this place. She first sat here writing in her journal in 1998. Even if you don't have a long-term tie to this cafe, you'll really enjoy sitting here. Such a calming vibe.

Went there to try their og straciatella. It tastes amazing, but we got scammed a bit. When you order a “scoop” at the bar, you will get ice cream cone for 1€, but if you sit and order a “scoop”, you will get ~3 scoops in a glass for 5€. Be aware, but enjoy the authenticity of this place :)

A bit off the beaten track on the upper part of bergamo. Supposedly this where straciatella was invented. Solid gelato, good selection of flavors ranging from traditional chocolates, lots of fruit flavored ones as well. Nice seating area outside for dine in customers only. Definitely worth a try if you're in Bergamo as it's a short hike from the funicular station connecting lower and upper cities.

Went to the restaurant upstairs. A very local place. The food was good but not exceptional. Be careful if ordering the veal cutlet: it is for 2 and very dry. Pasta should be the primary choice. Got to try the ice cream for 2. Our waiter was friendly but not very helpful.

This surprisingly large gelateria tucked away in an almost missable corner of Citta' Alta is where the unforgettable stracciatella ice cream was first created. This claim to fame pulls in the tourists but there a plenty more reasons to return time and time again. The most obvious method of indulgence here is in the marvellous gelato offered in a wide variety of flavours. With prices beginning at 1.50Euros, it's almost a crime not to! Sandwiches, salads, polenta cakes, gingerbreads and a vast array of other little delicacies are also on offer and are to be recommended! Even just to enter this gelateria is a great experience as the decor and never ending sweet counters provide a real Italian feast for the eyes.

this is where they first created stracciatella gelato. i didn't know what to expect at first... it was sweet but not too sweet. the chocolate pieces added a perfect touch to it. for un gusti size it was 1,50 euros. i wish i got the due gusti for 2,50.

Best gelato in Bergamo. The staff was a little rude and impatient when my daughter wanted to try some flavors. Because this was her first time ordering gelato in Italy, she had no idea what flavors the would like. If it weren't for that it would have received 5 stars.

Great Gelato! Asked a local for gelato recommendations and this is how I ended up here. Highly recommended

The restaurant is beautiful, really pleasant and the food is just as enjoyable but most of all you should go the gelateria to try the STRACCIATELLA flavor. It was invented there and is the only stracciatella you will ever want to eat.
