Bergamo - Carolina Township

An excellent family owned and operated authentic italian restaurant. Impeccable standards and exceptional food and service. The restaurant is quiet enough for a business dinner, has atmosphere for a date night, but the food is the stand out. If I have another opportunity to dine here I will certainly return!

The best Italian experience you can get in Greenville !!! 5stars

We travel through Greenville several times per year. Once we discovered Ristorante Bergamo, we always try to dine here. Tonight we had another wonderful meal, perhaps the best ever. Visiting Ristorante Bergamo is like visiting Italy. The food is masterfully prepared, the service is always excellent, and the ambience is wonderful. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the whole world. Absolutely perfect

I really wanted to give this restaurant a 5 star review. I nearly did. As I began to post, I recalled a couple of things about the experience which begged a temporary) dial back to 4. First of all, the food was DELICIOUS. However, the presentation was wildly varied between the entrees. As an example, one of our party had the sausage and polenta dish $28), which came out, literally as a few slices of sausage on a bed of polenta. That's it. Not the lentils typical of a cotechina and lentil new year dish indeed no vegetables at all. Sausage on a plop of polenta a 3 out of 5 dose of averageness. On the other hand, the duck breast was an absolute rock star at $35. Beautiful, perfectly cooked duck breast in a delicious sauce with preserved figs and the plate ornamented with a fabulous array of delicately and perfectly cooked and presented vegetables. That dish was a 6 on a 1 5 scale. The third in our party had the calf liver and it was happily eaten, with the claim that it was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our waiter was hard to describe; when we first arrived, he was most anxious to have us order a starter; we weren't ready to decide yet, so suggested he just bring the complementary) bread and olives with our drinks while we perused the menu. When he finally returned, we ordered our starter. He didn't return again to take our order for the main course, until we had finished our starter and it was ready to clear. Not impressed. That said, the atmosphere was lovely, and I would be delighted to return again.

The owners are very personable. The food is deliciously fresh. Would definitely go back.
