The story
At just four seats in central Bologna, Dal Poggino is an intimate phenomenon where the chef cooks directly in front of diners, serving a constantly changing tasting menu built around creative, story-driven dishes. As **Qui si Taffia** highlights, the experience moves from the elegant simplicity of *Pane, Burro e Fichi* to a vivid *Salmerino con Clorofilla e Arra di Fieno Greco Blu*, a surprisingly savory *Gelato Salato di Patata*, and the *Crema Inglese al Tartufo* and *Ravioli del Pin*.
But Dal Poggino also moonlights as a gourmet street-food hideaway, with the same Michelin-starred chef turning out playful handhelds. Must-orders include the *Bombolone Salato Ripieno di Ragù* and a trio of Ban Noi sandwiches—among them the *Acero* with low-temp pork ribs and the *Bruma* with vitello tonnato. Local fixture **Dario Picchiotti** swears by the *Cotoletta del Cambio*, adding with a wink that the chef is easy on the eyes. It’s a spot that refuses to be pinned down.
