Prosciutto and Cheese Please!…read more As a tourist visiting Parma looking for good eats, I was not disappointed with my experience at La Prosciutteria. Friendly staff that understands and speaks English was so helpful. We got to sample quite a few cheese and prosciutto before purchase. I love free samples! Worth dropping if you wanting to try some of local delicacy.

This was such a tasty and visual stop in downtown Parma to pick up some treats to take home. Upon…read moreentering, the staff was very friendly, eager to share samples and answer questions. The facade alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find dozens of hanging Parma ham legs, plentiful cheese, local honeys, jams, pickled veggies and so on. You could build out a really nice gift basket or Parma round up from this one stop. Try the cheese when they offer a generous sample! Note that like many other bizs in Parma, they close for a few hours in the afternoon. Traveling with your meat/cheese? They'll graciously vacuum pack your purchases for save travels! Enjoy an extra sample on my behalf when you stop in!

Some stuff is brought in from elsewhere along the coast, but most is locally caught. As such the selection does vary. What you can count on in plenty of langostinos, anchovies, flounder, and bream. Occasionally through the week, you will see swordfish and tuna. Prices are reasonable. Cheaper than back in the States for most stuff. Big favorite were the fresh anchovies. Gut them (leave the head and tails on!), rinse; sprinkle a little salt...then fry up til golden and crispy in some local olive oil. Serve up with some local lemons and a glass of local wine. Very mild flavor, fresh and delicious.

On the hills that surround the village, there is Kontiki: from there, you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the whole Gulf. But. it's not only view: it's very nice ambience, limited number of tables, with very nice service, and very very good food. The menu varies, but you always find a few choices of fresh fishes, for antipasto, pastas and main course, and as well a good choice for those who prefer non-fish dishes, like ravioli with cheese and tagliata. Wine list is very valid and the price is more than acceptable for the kind of dinner you have.
