Ristorante Collina combines tradition and innovation in a single dynamic setting. On one hand, its family management, which has reached 55 years, defines it as a historic venue; on the other, the enthusiasm and energy brought by new ideas and constant structural changes identify it as a laboratory in perpetual evolution. A benchmark and must-visit destination for food and wine tourism in the Orobic Valleys, Ristorante Collina enhances local products, from the lake to the mountains, with a modern twist. This attention to detail is also reflected in the elegant and refined setting, enriched by a selection of evocative artworks.
The Chef
Mario Cornali
“Cooking is an art in the same way as painting, sculpture, and music.” This is the belief of Mario Cornali, chef and patron of the elegant Bergamasque restaurant, which also serves as an art gallery. With a deep passion for art as a 360° form of expression, Mario Cornali, in addition to being a chef, has dedicated his life to culture, painting, and philosophy. In his restaurant, he paints, writes books, and organizes art exhibitions and concerts. His cuisine, never repetitive and never banal, is constantly influenced by this cultural background: creative and strictly seasonal, it pays homage to tradition through the use of carefully selected local raw materials, prepared with both mind and heart.
