Shared Experience
Your experience

    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!

    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!

    The meeting with Alessandro was a nice personal and human experience. He was very keen to create a good atmosphere and explain everything well and patiently - and the pasta tasted good.

    We had such a great evening with Alessandro! He picked us up at the agreed meeting point, and after a short ride we arrived at his place. Before we started cooking, he offered us some super tasty antipasti and fantastic wine, which we really enjoyed. We prepared two types of pasta and a tiramisu, and Alessandro was really kind and patient throughout the whole process, explaining everything very clearly. During dinner, we had great conversations about all kinds of topics. My wife and I felt more like friends than guests or participants in a cooking class. At the end of the night, Alessandro even drove us back to our apartment – an outstanding service we didn’t expect. All in all, it was an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you for everything, Alessandro.

    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.
