The waiter who took our order for food AND drinks said the food would be 20 minutes. 30 minutes later no drinks and no food so we asked if we could have our drinks. The waitress asked what we would like to order. We ordered 30 minutes ago. To cut a long story short after one hour still no drinks and no food so we left. AND it wasn't even that busy. This was our second visit to Balzar and the same thing happened the first time. It's a nice venue but there are plenty of other bars and restaurants in Bergamo which have much better service.

I ordered at 9am and it was ready at 1pm. 100% availability, delicious cake, and I thank her for the excellent work done in such a short time.

It was very busy but staff were not rushed yet seemed to be ignoring us. We finally ordered avocado on toast was very disappointed when it arrived as it wasn’t actual avocado but what looked and tasted like supermarket guacamole and cheap bread. It was very expensive for what we actually got! Also waited ages for drinks to arrive and when they did my latte was cold. We then tried for ages to get staff attention to ask for bill. Then were given a receipt and told to queue at the till to pay though we’d seen other people paying at the table and had paid at the table the day before.
