“Osteria di Valenti” Restaurant

Our mission: Quality and tradition always at the customer’s service.

The Osteria di Valenti was born in the 70s managed directly by the founder of the family. The small shop has undergone a transformation over time to become a real tavern in the 90s, serving quality cutting boards and selected meats.

In 2017 the property passed to Marco Maffeis, a well-known restaurant manager and professional sommelier. In 2018 the restaurant underwent a careful restoration and a partial change of course by including in addition to grilled meat, traditional Bergamo dishes and a careful selection of local cheeses from our valleys. The fresh pastas are handcrafted, while the desserts are homemade. the menu is periodically revisited and seasonally. In winter, upon reservation, it is possible to taste the mixed boiled meat with its sauces and its tasty “little pig” with polenta. For lovers of grilled meat, Fiorentina di Scottona Garronese is served on hot lava stone. the Osteria also offers prestigious national wines, with particular attention to local wines.
