While wondering the streets of Bologna (read: completely lost and making the most of it), my…read morehusband and I stumbled upon this unassuming wine and beer bar. We had been looking for a bottle shop, but alas, all of them are closed on Sundays. We really wanted to get some rare Belgian beers, and out of nowhere, appeared Punto. Their bottle list read like a beer lover's fantasy novel: Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, Westvleteren. The best part, the prices! We got a demi-bottle of Cantillon beer for 13 euros. I realize this is normal for Europe, but in the States this would cost at least 50% more - if you could find it. There is a large patio out front (for the smokers), and plenty of seating indoors as well. The inside is kind of Euro-hipster, with a variety of interesting beer posters on the walls. Punto feels like a locals-only neighborhood bar, but I did run into another couple from California while waiting in line for the restroom (typical Americans). If you are looking to get away from the tourists in the Piazza Maggiore, I recommend having a drink at Punto. It is a delightful bar, located in a very "interesting" side of town.

Not the usual stop that Parma guides suggest, this is exactly the place to go to have a taste of…read morereal Italian hospitality with no tourism-industry filters. The owner Daniele is amazing and super funny, his sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch and he makes a point of spoiling tourists! His Parma ham is just THE BEST (source: I grew up in Parma): make it an appetizer for a perfect tasting ("due fette di crudo di Parma")! He also has a good selection of beers, with beers from Germany, Belgium and many other European countries as well as Italian classics and craft beers. Ask the waitress, or simply check out the beer fridge. The place is simple and rustic, prices are very honest and the atmosphere is informal and easy going. You will feel totally at home.

I got to Parma around noon and while walking around stumbled onto this beautiful masterpiece of a…read morerestaurant. If you come to Parma you have to have prosciutto and you have to have Parmesan and that is exactly what I did. I ordered a warm panini with a huge amount of prosciutto and melted Parmesan. It was so simple yet so perfect. I accompanied it with a excellent glass of glass of the local sweet 'Malvasia Dolce. This was probably one of the best lunches I had in my entire Italy trip and also one of the cheapest. I finished it off with a tiramisu and an espresso. My favourite part of not only the restaurant but Parma is the lack of tourists. I was the only none Italian in the restaurant and there were practically no tourists in the city. A very welcome change from more touristic areas like Venice and Florence.

They do have some classic appetizers, but I suggest saving room for pizza! I always get the Inferno because I like spicy dishes, and it has some good meat on there. I always leave a clean plate. Even though I eat the entire pizza, I never feel bad about it afterwards. The house wine is delicious and pairs well with the pizza eating experience!

My husband says their IPAs are some of the best he's ever had and I'm a big fan of their lagers, stouts, and sours. They have collaborated with some great Stateside breweries like Other Half and Cigar City. So, those are especially fun beers to try. We love their outdoor beer garden (there is some indoor seating as well) -- lots of seating, dog friendly, foosball table. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of Austin, TX breweries. Parking is easy and plentiful. Not always the case in Italy! They also have a small food counter that serves delicious "brico," bread topped with all sorts of local ingredients such as squash blossoms, 'nduja, sausage, salami, peppers, and more! Be sure to check out their offerings when you visit and order one or two. They are not to be missed!

I had the spaghetti pomodoro with basil and hubby got meat sauce gnocchi. Nothing to rave about but good enough, portion for the spaghetti was not that big, I was still hungry which is pretty rare. Maybe it was good so you don't feel as guilty getting a gelato afterwards (from a different place). In a pinch and if you are not super picky that place does the trick, free wifi, decent food and prices and open earlier than most places around.
