We had the pleasure of dining twice at Vasco Da Gama during our recent visit to Brecia, Italy. We…read morewent back the second time because everything about the first dinner was beyond fantastic. The food, the service, the atmosphere... 5 stars across the board. Our first dinner was outside on a very nice June evening; dinner number two was inside on a rainy night. It would be difficult to say one was better than the other! Outside on the sidewalk is people watching heaven, inside is very quiet and romantic! Magda was our waitress both evenings, what a gem! Fantastic service, from helping us find our way through the menu, to serving and cleaning off the table, waters always filled... she worked very hard and was so very pleasant. We mainly had the fish dishes, the best being the potato crusted gilthead (sea bream). The wine list is very good, bubbles from Franciacorta, Italy both evenings. Superb place. Highly recommend Vasco Da Gama if you're ever in the area!

Truly the best food I have eaten in the city. The owner and the staff were amazing but the food is the real star. We tried 7 plates in total, plus a lovely gazpacho from the chef. For me the standout was the Veat tartare served on Veal bone marrow, but in truth I couldn't find fault with any of the dishes. This is a rare post for me these days and I am only posting as this restaurant was outstanding. Well worth the 10 minute walk from the Arena.

Truly a memorable meal in a lovely setting in the hills outside of Milan, this 3 star Michelin…read morerestaurant lived up to its rating. Arriving later than our reservation, we were warmly greeted and seated outdoors under a large awning. There were globe lights that warmly lit the area and the evening air was pleasant. Service was exemplary as one would expect. It's difficult to point out dishes when the meal is stellar but I really enjoyed the foie gras cherry with dark chocolate and the Iranian caviar. It's not fair to single out two dishes when everything was perfectly executed and beautifully presented. The duck was good, also, when I awoke from a brief nap and didn't miss the dish. (It was a long day!) What a great place!

During a stay in a B&B a few km outside Bergamo, we discovered there was a 3 star Michelin…read morerestaurant also a few km outside Bergamo. What luck. So we dropped in for what they call the "business lunch," a 5-course menu at 80 euro plus 35 for the wine pairing. The difference in food quality between 1 and 2 Michelin stars is pretty big. The difference from 2 to 3 is usually non-existent. The reason a restaurant gets the extra star is all the extras. Michelin standards demand them, and restaurants add them, and you pay for them. At Da Vittorio, those extras include the beautifully manicured grounds, the near 1:1 ratio of staff to diners, the real silver silverware, amuse-bouches, and a fun candy trolley that wheels around the dining room. There's also a ridiculous and luxurious bib that they tie around your neck (with total synchronicity between all the people at the table, another hallmark of 3-star service) in preparation for their paccheri al pomodoro, a saucy tableside preparation that doesn't really need to be prepared tableside (again, a hallmark of 3-star service). The best thing I ate was the few pieces of zucchini and roasted potatoes that accompanied a pan roasted sea bass. Don't get me wrong; the fish was perfectly cooked. Everything else was perfectly cooked, or raw, like the seafood crudo with zucchini puree and mint, another highlight. But another difference at a 3-star restaurant is there's some poor cook whose entire job it is to ensure that those little bits of vegetables are perfectly cooked. (They're called the entremetier, and I was one in a past life.) Eating humble vegetables treated with such respect is always a welcome experience. Why 4 stars then? Well, the place is a bit too much like Disneyland or Vegas. Or maybe even New Jersey, when it comes to the decor. They're very focused on Da Vittorio as a "brand;" everything is emblazoned with their logo, even the little purse stools they bring by the table. There's a Da Vittorio in St. Moritz, and one in Shanghai, which tells you how the family that owns the place is (deservedly) cashing in on that brand. All of that forced grandeur was, for me, an unintended and overwhelming consequence of the chase for those 3 stars. Also, they forgot to serve the dessert wine.

Food: 5 Value: 5 (arguably a 6/5)…read moreService: 5 Ambiance: 3.5 The single greatest Italian cuisine meal I've eaten to date. We found this restaurant through Google Reviews and generally had high hopes, but were blown away by the experience. We ordered salads to share, drinks, and pasta before a tiramisu - I went for a seafood pasta (see pictures) and negroni. We definitely could have avoided getting the two salads; portions were massive and we ended up not finishing either salad. My main course was delicious. The pasta had a zesty, fresh flavor between the lemon, olive oil, parsley and tomato, but the welcome surprise was seeing mounds of mussels, clams and shrimp inside the dish (I'm from New York and expected maybe 10 total) that took me almost 5 minutes to deshell before I went to town on it. Cocktails were excellent - hard to see from the photos but huge and delicious. Resulted in a great midday buzz. Limoncello spritz was also good but perhaps too strong for a lunchtime drink. Other courses ordered: - Lamb ravioli - Had 1-2 bites and tasted good, but probably a 3.5-4. Not really up to my palate and compared to my own entree, hard to beat :) - Carbonara - Solid. Incredibly rich and this was an entree where the large portions actually hurt more than helped - Salads - Hard to tell bc I was full of pasta Minor ding if anything is the ambiance. It's a block or so away from the crazy shore of Como but still was getting a bit loud by the time we left. Not a real complaint and didn't affect our experience, but if you're looking for a more quiet and relaxed experience you might want to go to a less touristy area. Thank you for a lovely meal!

They have English speaking staff and an English menu. Their burger menu is not in English though. Their menu is expansive and there are so many things I want to try!!! Service: 5 Their staff is very friendly and welcoming! We didn't have to ask about anything complicated so I'm not sure about their level of English in answering more complicated questions. Service is a bit slow but they did say that the burger was going to take 20 minutes. Flavors: 4 I very much enjoyed their pickled veggies and cured meat. The gnocchi is handmade and has a nice chewy texture. I haven't seen gnocchi this small before! The portion was huge so I did feel like there is a lot of gnocchi and thus very one notes on flavor and texture after a while. My husband said the burger was so so, but I didn't have a bite. Overall, I would go there again to try other things on their menu. They have so many things that seem local that we don't get to try!
