Sant'Orsola Pizzeria has hands down the best pizza I've ever tasted... in my life!…read more From the dough to the toppings, every bite tasted magical. The dough was crusty on the outside (and under the slices), fluffy and light on the inside, and stayed moist even as the pizza cooled down. Unlike Neapolitan pizzerias I've been to in the USA, the sheer size of the pizzas and amount of toppings here were very generous. There was so much cheese! I got the namesake pizza Sant'Orsola, which came with mozzarella di bufala, ricotta, speck, and peperoncino. It was amazing. Their menu is very extensive, with usual selections like Margherita, 4 Formaggi, Diavola, etc... in the €8-10 range, and a large selection of specialty pizzas in the lower €10s. These very large individual pizzas can feed 2 people or one very hungry pizza lover like me... and even then, I had to take half of my pizza home. This is definitely a must-try in the lovely city of Bergamo.

It was convenient to grab a bite to eat after shopping in town and before taking a little rest before going back out again. I ordered a pizza with fresh tomatoes, burrata, and fresh basil and it was fantastic! My husband enjoyed his sausage pizza as well. Service was good, but like most of the Italian restaurants we visited, it took quite a while to catch someone's attention to pay our bill. That being said, I would absolutely recommend eating here.

Places where to eat at a tiny price, in an agreeable environment. I was in Bergamo for the interesting "Bergamo Science" Event. And I was into the upper part of Bergamo, waiting for a Conference in Santa Maria Maggiore. Upper Bergamo is quite expensive, and I looked for a cheap place where to eat something. I casually came across this place. And decided to get inside. The place is cozy, not great but welcoming. Some menus are proposed. They're quite cheap, in Spontini' Tradition. I chose a menu with Pizza and Mineral Water. For 4,80 €. Pizza was not bad, even nor superlative. But fitting the moment and the price. The place where to eat is agreeable. And in upper Bergamo, earing with less than 5 euros is remarkable! So, if you are in upper Bergamo, looking for something cheap where to eat, Spontini can fit your needs. Quite good Slice Pizza, agreeable environnent, tiny prices. Don't expect too much! But if your expectations are not at the top... that's the right place for you!

Another Spontini. It's always nice to get in touch with restaurants of this Structure. An…read moreHistorical Structure, existing in Milan since 1953. I remember the times where there was just a Spontini in Spontini Street, close to Corso Buenos Ayres. A place where the "mythical" pizza, with anchovies in the dough was prepared. Just one format, to speed up service, always really quick. Time has elapsed, and now Spontini got a Franchising. With a great number of Restaurants and also take aways all around Italy, or at least Lombardy. Places where to eat a quite good Pizza, at reasonable prices. And here there is a Spontini in Lower Bergamo too, together with a Spontini in the Upper Bergamo, already reviewed. A take away one. Here, in Lower Bergamo, there's instead a Pizzeria which is either Take Away or Table Service. I was there around the middle ofOctober, because I was there for the wonderful"Bergamo science" festival. And this Spontini, just along one of the main Streets in Bergamo, the well known Via Papa Giovanni XXIII, leading from the Station to, by changing its name in Via Roma, close to the Funicular to the upper side of the City, was perfectly fitting the goal of a cheap and quick Lunch and Dinner( when I was there for the Evening too). I was there for the first time on the Evening of October 14th 2017. I was there for the Penultimate Day of Bergamo Science. And I framed this place also during the Lunch. Stating to go there for dinner. And so I did. After giving a peek to the upper exposed menu, I stated for a "Spontini 1953 double Mozzarella" (doppia mozzarella). I like Mozzarella Cheese, and, in general, Cheese on Pizza. So, this was a right choice. And, at once, I found out that...... If I should have chosen to eat pizza sat..... the price would have raised up to 7,50 euros, instead of the 5,50 of take away price. remember it, if you choose to sit into a served room! But there are some counters where to stand to eat pizza. And it's good, anyway. There are also sockets to charge one's smartphone, and this can be really useful, considered the discharge rate of these devices! So, my pizza, the most expensive, was 5,50 euros. The other ones are about 4,50 euros. Now also fillings are available in Spontini. And this is, for somebody, not so wholesome: it's no longer the "dear old Spontini". But that's right so! Pepper oil, with chili slices inside, is available there, close to the cashes. And this is a value added. Caution: the small container of Pizza is not the best to add olil, which will be bound to "overflow". But that's right the same: with a napkin one can easily clean, if it occurs! Like I said the same pizza, sat, and with service, costs 7,50 for the "average" format (the same I eat), and 9 for the abundant one. A little bit expensive, I think. But there are also cheaper pizzas. So, I suggest to eat standing at the counter. The place is nice, shiny, welcoming. So, welcome to Spontini! It's no longer the "historical" one, but, anyway, it's a pleasure to come it across, and to dwell inside it for awhile!
