This rather special restaurant, run by the internationally famous chef, Pierangelo Cornaro, situated in one of the most beautiful squares in Italy in a palazzo designed by Bramante, is faultless service and a welcoming atmosphere not to mention delicious fare are the hallmarks of success in a building whose designed fascinated Le Corbusier himself. Favorite haunt of business people, intellectuals and tourists. 

For many, Cornaro's culinary evolution symbolizes the most fluent translation of Northern Italian - specially Bergamasca -high cooking into the present tense, a process grounded as much in knowledge and tradition as in skill and imagination.

The restaurant Colleoni Dell'Angelo, which commandeers a lion's share of one side of the High City's ancient broad piazza and which has haused a taverna on the same premises for four centuries, phisically bolsters his menu style:a huge fresco of the winged lion of Venice, antique oriental carpets over geometric marble floors, don't-mess-with-me crossed battle axes and full suit of armor in curious harmony.
