Wow. Seriously, wow. Italians do food better than most everyone and this place does Italian…read morebetter than most Italians. We stopped for lunch on our way south and we were graciously accommodated on short notice. Called the night before and they set us up with a table near the end of service. Charming, professional, spotlessly clean, small and very nicely furnished in an authentic urban Italian style. Not rushed, not ignored, not overlooked. Treated us like neighborhood regulars, and there were numerous in attendance. Now about that food... we're back to wow, seriously wow. For starters my wife and I chose tagliatelle with duck ragu (tagliatelle al sugo d'anatra) and tiny tortellini in brodo (sorry I forgot the actual name of this dish). The tortellini were dynamite flavor bombs and the broth was clean and perfect. The duck dish was flawless--the homemade egg tagliatelle were ethereal, cooked to perfection--served in a lovely copper pan. Also enjoyed a rabbit dish (Coscia do consigliere alle Erbe ). House digestive was a nice touch. We'll be back.

First the positives: kind and lovely staff very welcoming, friendly and funny. The food however was…read moreaverage at best. The pumpkin tortellini which the region is known for were overly flavored with amaretto, making them taste like sugary almond bombs. The polenta was thick and flavorless and the other dishes were average at best. Given that the prices are fine but not the deal they once were I think this restaurant is quite average. For reference, we spend two weeks every year in various places in Italy and eat out often.

Without a doubt, my favorite food in the whole Parma area. From traditional parmesan food such as…read more"tortelli d'erbetta" and "anolini in brodo di cappone", to the most complex and articulated dishes. This hidden gem has been one of the "bassa" most famous spots since the 60s, according to the very friendly staff. The wine list is one of the top three I've seen in the area, especially because of its alternative choices, mainly from Piemonte and Friuli. When I travel to Northern Italy, I have no doubt. There's only one place where you really feel at home!

The perfect trattoria in THE PLACE where the cult Italian movies "Peppone e Don Camillo" were…read moreshot... Brescello di Reggio Emilia. The place is family owned and run according to the best Italian tradition for trattoria. Super friendly and smiling people all over giving you any advice about the super delicious traditional food you are going to order. Starter with prosciutto, culatello, salame and pancetta is a must. Deliciousness for your taste buds and wow, how good was that piece of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese..... wooooooo!!! My first main dish was Tortelli di Zucca (pumpkin kind of ravioli) served with a very local soffritto sauce. Woooooooooooooooo!!! The capelletti were also super good and really like my mother's.... Yesssss!!! I stopped here but the second dishes were all super ones. Ok, nothing dietary or vegetarian, but this is all about super traditional tastes and super comforting northern Italian food. Like being on a Christmas banquet :) Local Lambrusco red wine is the one to drink. Nothing else. Rustic but so fitting the taste. I could not refrain from tasting the dessert and I went for Zuppa Inglese, can.t translate, but if you never got it..... you definitely miss something delicious. Espresso of course and yes, grab the bottle of Nocino to sip this Amaro while you chit chat and end this spectacular dining experience. So, tradition with real care to great tastes enhanced from "you are guest at my home" type of welcoming atmosphere. Not expensive. Book in advance as the place is small and can get crowded. Ohh, I did not mention, all over the walls pictures and posters from the cult Italian movies I mentioned earlier. They are proud of them, and so it should be :)
