Over time, the guide became an <strong>absolute reference for high-quality dining<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The star system, introduced in <strong>1926<\/strong> and refined in the following years, includes <strong>three levels of recognition<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>one star<\/strong> indicates very good cuisine, worth a stop;<\/li>\n<li><strong>two stars<\/strong> indicate excellent cuisine worth a detour;<\/li>\n<li><strong>three stars<\/strong>, the highest recognition, indicate exceptional cuisine worth a special journey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ratings are assigned by <strong>anonymous inspectors<\/strong> who visit restaurants several times a year without revealing their identity, paying the bill like any other guest.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1232\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1232\" class=\"wp-image-1232 size-full\" title=\"Michelin Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Guida-Michelin.jpeg\" alt=\"Michelin Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Guida-Michelin.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Guida-Michelin-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michelin Guide &#8211;

Three intimate dining rooms, a <strong>meticulously curated wine cellar<\/strong>, two tasting menus (one meat, one fish) and an \u00e0 la carte menu offering full freedom to diners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The restaurant is complemented by a bistrot and a delivery service<\/strong>. A complete address with a precise gastronomic vision that highlights excellent Italian ingredients.<\/p>\n<h4>San Martino &#8211; Treviglio (BG)<\/h4>\n<p>A historic Michelin-starred restaurant of the southern Bergamo plains \u2014 <strong>the first Michelin star dates back to 1990<\/strong> \u2014 San Martino in Treviglio (about 25 km from Bergamo) tells a family story spanning more than sixty years. Founded by <strong>Beppe and Olga Colleoni<\/strong> in the 1960s, it is now led by their sons: Vittorio in the kitchen and Paolo in the dining room and wine cellar.<\/p>\n<p>The cuisine is authentic and seemingly simple, with a <strong>special focus on seafood and family recipes<\/strong> passed down through generations. The Michelin Guide once described it as \u201cone of the most convincing cuisines in the area\u201d \u2014 a judgment confirmed again by the 2025 star.<\/p>\n<h4>Cucina Cereda &#8211; Ponte San Pietro (BG)<\/h4>\n<p>A new entry in the Michelin Guide 2025, Cucina Cereda is the restaurant of chef <strong>Giuseppe Cereda<\/strong>, in Ponte San Pietro about 8 km from Bergamo.

A young yet already solid restaurant to watch in the coming years.<\/p>\n<h4>Contrada Bricconi &#8211; Oltressenda Alta (BG)<\/h4>\n<p>A unique case in the panorama of Bergamo\u2019s Michelin-starred restaurants \u2014 and perhaps in Italy. Contrada Bricconi is a <strong>small stone hamlet dating back to the fifteenth century<\/strong>, located in Oltressenda Alta in the Seriana Valley, restored by a group of young people with the dream of bringing the mountains back to life.<\/p>\n<p>Farming, livestock and cooking follow the rhythms of nature and animal welfare, with a gastronomic offer that smells of <strong>authenticity and Alpine territory<\/strong>. Farmers, breeders, winemakers, food artisans and small local businesses are involved to create a <strong>100% sustainable supply chain<\/strong>. The location is panoramic and secluded, reached by climbing the valley, but the journey itself is already part of the experience.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1235 size-full\" title=\"Gourmet Roast Dish With Vegetable Bundle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/piatto-ricercato-arrosto-con-fagottino-verdure.jpg\" alt=\"Gourmet Roast Dish With Vegetable Bundle\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/piatto-ricercato-arrosto-con-fagottino-verdure.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/piatto-ricercato-arrosto-con-fagottino-verdure-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h2>Bergamo and haute cuisine: why the province has become a gourmet destination<\/h2>\n<p>It is no coincidence that the province of Bergamo concentrates one of the highest numbers of Michelin-starred restaurants in Lombardy \u2014 and consequently in Italy. Historical, geographical and cultural reasons have contributed to building this reputation.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the richness of the territory: <strong>DOP cheeses<\/strong> such as Taleggio, Strachitunt and Formai de Mut, <strong>polenta taragna<\/strong> made with corn and buckwheat flour, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/en\/travel-stories\/casoncelli-alla-bergamasca-typical-dish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>casoncelli bergamaschi<\/strong><\/a> (stuffed pasta mainly filled with meats, cured meats, Grana Padano and bread), <strong>game from the valleys<\/strong>, lake olive oil and wines from Val Calepio. Extraordinary raw ingredients that offer chefs an authentic and almost endless palette.<\/p>\n<p>Added to this is a <strong>tradition of family-run trattorias and food shops<\/strong> that has always maintained high attention to food, a <strong>network of important hospitality schools<\/strong> (such as the one in San Pellegrino Terme) that train skilled chefs, and the presence of absolute references such as the Cerea family, capable of inspiring entire generations of cooks.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a lively gastronomic ecosystem where <strong>tradition constantly dialogues with modernity<\/strong> \u2014 and where many Michelin-starred chefs choose to reinvent typical dishes such as casoncelli, polenta or mountain cheeses, elevating them without altering their identity.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1237 size-full\" title=\"Tuk Tuk Tour In Bergamo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tour-in-Tuk-Tuk-a-Bergamo.jpg\" alt=\"Tuk Tuk Tour In Bergamo\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tour-in-Tuk-Tuk-a-Bergamo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bergamobytuktuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Tour-in-Tuk-Tuk-a-Bergamo-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h3>From a Michelin-starred table to the streets of Bergamo: discover the city by Tuk Tuk<\/h3>\n<p>Imagine it like this: in the evening, just after leaving an unforgettable dinner at Villa Elena with the Milan skyline stretching far below you, you decide not to take the car right away. Instead, you hop into a small <strong>Tuk Tuk<\/strong> that takes you to <strong>explore the alleys of Bergamo Alta<\/strong>, the illuminated squares and the Venetian walls changing color under the night lights. Then down towards Citt\u00e0 Bassa, across the hills, with that rare feeling of someone who has experienced something real.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly the idea behind <strong>Bergamo by Tuk Tuk<\/strong>: combining the city\u2019s gastronomic discovery with an original and sustainable tour through its most beautiful corners.
