"Styling itself as Italy's first polenta takeaway, Polentone serves up steaming bowls of polenta in the sauce of your choice, including wild boar or vegetarian. Choose between gialla (simple corn polenta) or taragna (with Taleggio cheese and butter)."

"If you love stracciatella-flavoured gelato, Bergamo is noteworthy - it's where this milk-based flavour with chocolate shavings was first created in 1962. La Marianna, the shop responsible for pioneering the flavour, still stands today, serving scoop after scoop of stracciatella."

"A friendly little restaurant and wine bar serving traditional regional cuisine made from high-quality seasonal ingredients - including a number of polenta-based dishes."

"The tradition is enhanced in every aspect and there are really many dishes of this culture to be present in the list. Of course, do not miss the margottino Bergamo, a polenta dome inside which lies a treasure, a taleggio heart with truffle scent."

"Where to eat: Da Ornella - for polenta taragna with rabbit."
