...I have been in Orvieto several times. I am not a particular fan of churches, if you want, but the Dome of Orvieto is, in my opinion, unique in its own and I like it mainly for its colours. Orvieto is a medieval city and the historic centre is worth exploring for this. There are always too many tourists in Orvieto, at least for my likes, and this can spoil a bit your visit. From my childhood, I also remember a bakery just behind the church, with fresh pastries and delicatessen. I stayed only once at “Albergo Posta” in Via Luca Signorelli. If you are driving, you may want to stay in the countryside, in some “Agritourist” place....

...I travel a lot around Italy for work, and I am in the lucky enough position to visit quite a few restaurants.
Albergo Ristorante Al Sole is one of my favourites when in Bergamo.
Below is the address.
Via Mazzini, 54 - 24047 - Treviglio - (Bergamo) - Italy
Tel. 0363/49161
The restaurant is run by the family Giussani.
As a starter, I would recommend "insalata tiepida di polipo" or "ostriche e cappesante" or "antipasto misto di pesce della casa" (mixed fish starter of the house).
For the first course, my favourites are "tagliolini all'astice" or "tagliatelle con polpa di granchio" (this is a kind of thin pasta with crabs".
For the second course, ask for the fish of the day, which is really fresh.
To finish everything, try "sorbetto al limone" or one othe hand made cakes, the one with blackberries is greaaaaaaaaaat!!
The wine list...
