“These are homemade casoncelli — like ravioli filled with a mix of salumi, bread, cheese, butter, and eggs. They're served with butter, Savia cheese, and pancetta on top. They look beautiful, and honestly, they taste like heaven. I'm in paradise. They're so good I forgot to drink my wine. This is the quintessential Bergamo dish, an institution here.”
