Wine and Cured Meat before Dinner!…read more I love the casual vibe of Enoteca Tabarro. Here you are welcome by the Owner/Server with a happy smile. He even did a mix platter for us with Prosciutto and Salami (7€). Menu is simple. But I enjoyed how simple it is. Though in Italian only. Grab a seat or just stand by one of the barrels at the front entrance. Open till late.

A lovely place for dinner! It was about 10 minutes away walk from the main area of Parma but worth…read morethe walk. The restaurant is located in a piazza below the street along with a supermarket. The service was excellent. Our servers could speak English so that helped us. A seating area and a bar are on the piazza. The area was heated. A large grill was also outside with a someone grilling meats. We sat inside at a long communal table. It had an old school Italian trattoria vibe. It was softly lit. We ordered the Lambrusco since it is the local Specialty. We were surprised that it came in a good sized bowl rather than a wine glass We actually thought it was soup lol The Lambrusco is much different in Italy. It has a light effervescence and is well bodied. The Tortellini in beef broth is also a local dish. The broth was Ric with a lot of beef flavor. The tortellini had a beef filling. It was delicious. We had pumpkin and a cheese ravioli. Both were delicious. For the entree I had the beef. It was excellent. It was very tender and had a rich gravy on top of potatoes. The roasted onion and tomato added a delicious flavor.

The prosciutto was best I've ever had. The risotto was so full of Parmesan. It was delicious. We got a bottle of the house Lambrusco, and it was amazing. It's a very cute traditional Tuscan restaurant inside. Nice clean bathroom. My only sad bit was about staff. Our server was not at all happy about us not being able to speak Italian. She was nice, but it was forced. I always feel so inadequate when I have this happen, and I felt bad for not being able to understand and was then uncomfortable the rest of the meal. I wish English wasn't so universal so I would have been required to learn other languages. I wanted to be able to understand her!

Probably easier to squeeze us in b/c I requested for an earlier reservation around 7:30. (Yes, that's early compared to local tradition). Cocchi in Parma delivered an extraordinary dining experience. The asparagus flan was outstanding, the torta fritta paired perfectly with the tasting of traditional cured meats, and the veal with mushrooms was incredibly tender and flavorful. The anolini in brodo was pure comfort, especially with fresh Parmigiano added tableside. Dessert was also served tableside, and both options we tried were amazing. Throughout the meal, superior service from our 2 servers, the owner and all around elevated everything. Cocchi is celebrating its 101 year anniversary! A truly memorable evening--exceptional food, warm ambience, and impeccable hospitality!
