Starting from our meeting point, we will take a short scenic walk through the center of Bergamo and then reach the Mercato Rionale in Piazza Pontida. Here we will purchase local cheeses, cold cuts, vegetables and wine. After the market, we will return to the meeting point and, by car, head to my house, located on the outskirts of the city. Here, we will savor these delicacies accompanied by tigelle, a type of round bread that I will teach you how to make and we will bake together. We will start with mouthwatering frittatas and crispy bacon as an appetizer, followed by dessert, coffee and digestifs. An authentic and convivial dining experience!

: I had such a great time! Alessandro was a spectacular host. The conversation and food were great, I would definitely do this again.
: We had a wonderful experience at Alessandro’s food course and market tour. We loved visiting the market, where we bought lots of delicious and inexpensive cheese, sausage and jam. At Alessandro’s home we tasted and prepared some local dishes. Alessandro did a great job of making us feel welcome in his home. We would highly recommend this tour to others.
: Learning to make 2 absolutely delicious and so simple pasta dishes and a heavenly tiramisu in a friendly informal happy setting is a definite recipe for success! Alessandro thank you for welcoming us into your home and sharing your passion for Italy and its wonderful food! I will recommend this experience to anyone who listens!
: Visiting Alessandro and his sons was such a wonderful experience. From the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcome. He kindly picked us up at our hotel and drove us back afterwards. The cooking class was fantastic — we learned how to prepare two pasta dishes and a tiramisu! Alessandro shared family recipes with us, which we can’t wait to try at home. The conversation flowed easily, and the whole evening was truly special. Alessandro was the perfect host, and we feel so lucky to have had this experience. Both Alessandro and his sons were warm, kind, and made us feel completely at home. It was an unforgettable evening and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Bergamo. We truly hope our paths will cross again.
: I had a wonderful experience in Bergamo with Alessandro. He welcomed me into his home with delicious appetizers, excellent wine and taught me how to cook amazing dishes. It was such a unique and enriching day, and I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended!

Alessandro

Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo Languages: Italian and English

My name is Alessandro Carlini, I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. My father was originally from Sestola, a mountain village in the province of Modena, and he taught me how to make Berlenghi, a typical specialty from that part of the Apennines. These are very thin crêpes made from a simple, liquid batter consisting of water, flour, and salt, which is called "colla." Another specialty from the Modenese Apennines is Crescentine (better known as Tigelle), a small, round type of bread, which, like Berlenghi, are traditionally served with Modenese pesto—a blend of lard, garlic, and rosemary, accompanied by Parmesan cheese. Alternatively, these dishes can be paired with cured meats, cheeses, vegetables, or Nutella for a sweet version.
