    Got lucky by not getting into a restaurant I was planning to try, and finding this place. The food was really good quality and the service was great, would highly recommend.

    Overall the food was fine but personally I found it too expensive for what they are. (I was never a cheap eater btw). I had the green tagliolini with culatello was a bit too salty and too buttery while the ravioli neri with shrimp was delicious. My part we had the chicken dish was okay but a bit dry. The amuse bouche with parmigiana cream was yummy. The service was fine and friendly. If one doesn't look at the price tags, then go try it out.

    This downtown seafood specialist is a very fine chice indeed, especially if you're looking for a slightly more formal sit-down dinner. Reservations are recommended on weekend evenings during peak times though you should be able to snag something if you're not too picky. The host was very courteous and the staff professional and attentive. We weren't exactly starving after I had two lunches of cold cuts and more cold cuts, respectively. So I took this as an opportunity to try out a couple of more off-beat dishes: eggplant parm (the most refined version I've ever had, with smoked scamorza cheese and tomato sauce), and the famed pesto di cavallo (horse tartare). Both were outstanding, though the horse portion was a bit larger than I needed. Paired with a delicious half bottle of wine, it was an outstanding sit-down affair.

    A very nice and elegant restaurant ! We came here 3 years ago and the food and service was amazing, this visit proved they're still a great restaurant ! We started with the Torta Fritta (my favorite!) and Prosciutto di Parma, both very good! Then we split the Tortelli di Zucca which was so delicious, a balance of sweet and salty! We also split the Duchessa di Parma, which was also delicious and cooked very well! We finished with the Tiramisu, so yummy and the perfect size!They also have a HUGE selection of great wine! The staff are very nice, patient and helpful! The inside is very fancy, and intimate. I would recommend eating here! You should also make a reservation ahead of time !!

    Off to a great start with a pleasant experience in making reservations in English & smooth sailing into our table. We started with the Parmesan cheese soufflé & the eggplant- both were absolutely outstanding. The soufflé was the perfect blend of creamy goodness that one had to completely finish every morsel. Next came an artistic & fresh mixed salad topped by local olive oil & balsamic vinegar. The panko encrusted tuna lacked flavor & seasoning, two orders of medium steak both came out rare, unsalted, but potatoes were the shining stars on the plate. The kitchen did create a 3rd round of steak which came late in the meal. Shrimp ravioli was creative & tasty. Desserts included the chocolate soufflé which was beautiful presentation. The toast to Parma with dense but light lavender mousse was polished off.

    Absolutely lovely! I had a salad and the Duchess of Parma - rolled veal with Parma ham and Parmesan cheese Ina bed of spinach. It was divine. The tiramisu was a perfect ending. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend.

    Heavenly, a good start to a culinary tour! The risotto with Gorgonzola cream sauce and truffle was excellent! Certainly a must if your in Parma!

    Rather quiet but very elegant restaurant. Very good service, quick and attentive. We went for lunch, mixed salumi starter disappeared very quickly, it was followed by various kinds of pasta, which were excellent. During my week in Parma that was one better places I happened to visit, I can only strongly recommend!

    Tucked away in a corner on Borgo Del Carbone, this restaurant is a small gem in Parma run by chef…read moreJean Pierre Pastor. In a city where food is an art I recommend stopping by and enjoying a full meal here. I peaked in early while the staff was getting ready for service to try and get a reservation; i was greeted by friendly smiling faces that set us up for an 8:30 p.m. table. We sat outside at an elegant table and our dinner began with smiles and a great local white wine. My appetizer was small scallops on purée of purple potato, cubed foie gras with a basil vanilla oil. My wife had roasted squid tentacles with arrabbiata sauce, burrata cheese drizzled with olive oil. For our primo i had black fermented garlic pappardelle with shrimp tartare, mullet bottarga and pistachio crumbles. My wife had a great plate of gnocchi with clams, flavored with zucchini flower, lemon and pepper. The secondo was a simple but great dish of fried calamari and shrimp with a tarragon based dipping sauce. My wife had prawns al Vermentino with a snapper reduction on a bed of slivered vegetables. We shared crunchy mascarpone cannoli dusted with cinnamon, drizzled with a pistachio chocolate sauce and meringhe crumbles for desert. We started at 8:30 and ended at 11:00 p.m. so please don't be in a rush. Enjoy!
