Among the many enotecas of Bergamo, Cozzi deserves special mention. Founded in 1848, the Vineria still has many of its original fittings, and the owner Simona takes pride in keeping things as they are. Step inside through the modest but pretty frontage, and you are in a timeless place, where the ancient hand carved shelves groan with wine and the old marble counter is topped with delicacies to nibble upon as you enjoy your glass of wine.
To the rear lies a tiny internal dining room where you can take a more substantial meal, and on through here is a courtyard with a few more tables. Everything is beautifully laid out in an exceptionally tasteful manner. The dining aspect of Cozzi's has taken on a more serious aspect in recent years, and today it can lay claim to a place among the top destinations in the Citta Alta. Inventive cookery based on local products could offer you dishes such as: Tart of Potato, Honey, Goats Cheese and Chestnuts; Rice cooked in Barolo with Radicchio; Lamb cutlets with winter ratatouille; and red fruit meringues with white chocolate.
Lunch is an excellent option at Cozzi's, as from Mon-Fri only they offer a 25% discount off their menu prices.
