Villa Elena

Villa Elena is a two-Michelin-starred fine dining destination located inside an elegant Renaissance villa in Bergamo's Città Alta. The restaurant is renowned for its attentive hospitality and refined tasting menus that heavily feature wild game such as boar, hare, deer, and pigeon.

Public reaction is polarized, with diners admiring the stunning historic setting, wine pairings, and culinary execution of the game dishes. On the other hand, the heavy focus on hunted meats has drawn ethical criticism from wildlife advocates, alongside familiar complaints about steep fine-dining prices.
