We were referred here by a Parma local who was born and raised here. There were four of us. You need a reservation since it is very popular. We all loved our food! Light fresh made pasta w seasonal ingredients. I had roast beef and grilled vegetables. My friend let me taste the spinach and parmesan cheese ravioli - so great! We all loved our food!! Service and friendliness was top notch and they helped us w ordering. They have an English menu online. Italian menu in the restaurant. Clean, hospitable, welcoming and amazing food. Also prices are very reasonable read more

This past month, we were traveling in Italy. We looked for restaurants for a meal in the evening in Parma. We were lucky to get a reservation. We were greeted by friendly staff and escorted to our table. Both Italian and English menus were available. The restaurant is small and nicely decorated. Bread and breadsticks were given. We ordered a bottle of wine and checked out the menu. Our server was nice and helped us with choosing food items. The first course was Antipasto dello Zingaro. ( Cold meats ) Our second course was Tortelli di Erbette. (Ravioli stuff with spinach and Parmesan cheese) which was the best Ravioli we have ever had. Next was new meat for us to try. HORSE MEAT. Tris di Cavallo. Presented 3 ways. RAW. Roasted and Tartare. We liked the first two. But the Tartare was not for us. This dish came with roast potatoes. The restaurant got busy during our visit. I would recommend making a reservation. The decor was fresh and clean. With many Italian fixtures. The noise level was low when we visited, but sure, it could be higher on the weekends. We highly recommend a visit or two. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Italy-hands down! This place can't be missed if you're in Parma. For starters I had the tagliatelle pasta with Parma ham. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the Parma ham generously topping the pasta was the perfect salty accompaniment to the creamy pasta sauce. Next up was the Tortelli pasta (a local Parma specialty) stuffed with pumpkin and Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan perfectly balanced the sweet pumpkin for a sweet and savory dish all in one. For the main entree we had pork cheeks braised in balsamic vinegar. It was literally one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life! Fall off the fork tender and the balsamic enhanced the flavor of the pork in a way you never find in the states. If you still have room for dessert make sure you try some of their home Made pies! You'll find them on display on a shelf near the kitchen in the back. The food was great, service great, and the fellow diners friendly. Add it to your list! read more

If you're in Parma, go here . It came recommended by a local and she did not steer us wrong . The place was packed with Italians, which is always a good sign. We did not have a reservation and although they hinted that a reservation would have been appreciated , they graciously accommodated us. Everything I put into my mouth had my tastebuds screaming "WOW!" The experience was a culinary journey of the palate as each dish was bursting with the perfect balance of flavors. We started with tagliatelle with Parma ham & pumpkin stuffed tortelli pasta . Omg the pumpkin tortelli was ahhhmaazzzinggg!! I tried this dish at other places and hands down theirs is the best I've ever tried. The tagliatelle was also delicious . The star of the show was the entree of pork cheeks braised in local balsamic vinegar . Y'all it was "slap your hand away if you try to take a bite of my pork cheeks" good. Interestingly, the simple presentation of the pork cheeks didn't look that appetizing , just pieces of meat on a plate with balsamic and a spoon- but oh how looks can be deceiving - it was the bomb and I literally spent the rest of the trip ordering pork and veal check to replicate the experience but alas none could hold a candle to theirs. Order it, you won't be disappointed. I normally don't order dessert but everything had been so delicious I couldn't help but select a slice from their homemade selection of desserts . They are on display on top of a buffet in the back of the restaurant so you can pick out what looks best to you . I don't even know what the name of the dessert was but it was delicious , it had nuts and berries baked in and topped with ice cream ...it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Kinda funny , I had a very happy and euphoric look on my face while eating their amazing food and an Italian seated next to us caught my attention as he was looking at me thoroughly enjoying my food and he looked very pleased - he genuinely looked happy that I was visibly savoring every bite. A little embarrassed, I started giggling and the man told me he was glad I was enjoying the food! They know , y'all. The locals know how good the food is here . Most impressive was the fact that this dinner was probably the cheapest one we had during our entire trip and it was by far the best ! My biggest regrets are 1.) we did not go back the next night 2.) we didn't order more food. If you are in Parma , put it on your list ! Prego! read more

By accident we found this Restaurant during our Italy-trip. We were "flashed" by the quality of the food we got. This venue ist highly recomended because of excellent food from starter to "dolci"! On the way back home we decided to make another "stop" in Parma just to have another lunch in this restaurant. Whenever you are in Parma you should not miss it. read more
