The story
Perched on the eighth floor of the Hotel Excelsior San Marco, Roof Garden is a glass-walled restaurant that places diners in a dialogue with the city. The space is designed for lightness and transparency, offering a continuous visual exchange between the elegant interior and the ever-changing landscape of Bergamo. The view, which stretches across the lower city and up to the historic Città Alta, is central to the experience. The restaurant was conceived to reflect the city itself, drawing on Bergamo’s deep artistic and gastronomic heritage while embracing a cosmopolitan spirit.
The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Gianpietro Semperboni, who works with a brigade dedicated to exploring the flavours of the region. The menu is rooted in the traditions of Bergamo and Lombardy, but approaches them with a contemporary sensibility. This means sourcing excellent raw ingredients and applying advanced techniques to create dishes that are both familiar and surprising. The result is Modern Cuisine that respects its past, with seasonal changes that follow the best produce available. The restaurant also offers tasting menus and a well-considered wine selection that includes Champagne and spirits tastings.
The dining room, modern and refined, becomes notably romantic in the evening with candlelight and soft lighting. A splendid summer terrace opens in good weather, allowing guests to dine while admiring the illuminated city from above. Roof Garden is more than a fine dining restaurant; it is also a sought-after location for events, from weddings and private parties to business lunches and special celebrations. A dedicated team of professionals works to make each event personal and memorable. The recognition
