Bergamo cuisine is extremely rich and with a high calorific value. Many dishes are meat based and you should at the very least try the “Casoncelli alla bergamasca” (homemade pasta parcels filled with beef meat, salami, amaretto biscuits and pears in a butter sauce) and polenta e brasato (braised beef with herbs). Typical cake - polenta e osei - is based on maize flour as well. The local Wine is the ValCalepio (DOC) produced in the surroundings of the Iseo Lake.
