www.sacerno.itDario Picchiotti is one of the most creative, inventive, and talented chefs in the local scene. Since 2024, he moved from the countryside of Sacerno to the historic center of Bologna, filling a gap by introducing a fun, impactful, and at times surprising seafood cuisine to the city. This shift came after he contributed to the local social fabric by establishing a restaurant hub in the heart of the city, an entrepreneurial endeavor that allowed him to engage daily with both locals and tourists.
The bright and modern dining room is perfect for any occasion, promoting a sense of conviviality, suitable for both couples and tastings. From the counter, dishes are garnished, and cocktails are crafted, with the charming Giada Berri, Dario’s partner, overseeing an impressive wine list, particularly focusing on sparkling wines but offering a diverse selection that complements the kitchen’s identity. Dario himself, together with his business partner Nunzio Monteleone, curates the menu and enthusiastically explains the dishes, reflecting the bold and energetic nature of his cuisine.
The dishes are characterized by memorable contrasts and a deep knowledge of seafood, though Picchiotti has managed to balance the briny flavors in a comfortable way. Signature dishes include the shrimp pizza, smoked squid spaghetti with cacio e pepe, cauliflower with shells and snails for a delightful combination of vegetal and briny flavors, spaghetti with seafood breadcrumbs, and a perfectly executed mixed fried seafood. The desserts are both incredibly delicious and visually appealing, perfectly complementing the chef’s innate culinary harmony.
