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.

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.

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.

We pulled into Parma on the way to Milan to fly back to America and I paid to park in a parking garage and now 6 months later I'm getting a ticket in the mail?

Service was good, didn't feel like the tortellini was anything special. Had the bacio di parma which was similar to a tiramisu but different - super tasty, I liked it more than the tortellini. Bread was very dry and not that great, I had to ask for olive oil which was just okay, not super flavorful. 3 euros for cover charge which is quite steep.

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!
