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 :)

However, the service was significantly lacking this visit. They were rude, inattentive. We asked to sit outside and he said inside was better. So we said we'd prefer outside (as we've always done) and he rolled his eyes and walked inside. So we followed him inside and got a table. The appetizers took over an hour. The server never came back to check on us. We never even moved onto ordering entrees. And I'm annoyed because I thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin raviolis in the past. I wanted them again. It was a great place to stop while strolling the cobblestone streets of Parma. I recommend the food but not the service or atmosphere anymore.

The staff nicely explains each dish and the background of its story. You receive a printed card showcasing the story and theme before the meal (in our case misery and nobility), then a copy of the printed menu, and a separate menu with the substitution if you have a dietary restriction. I didn't know they had an extensive kitchen and staff of 65 that works on the preparations and execution behind the scenes. It was definitely the most expensive fine dining experience in Europe, possibly the most expensive restaurant in Italy. But it was worth trying it. Very different from the Paul Bocuse experience, and different from Japanese fine dining too.

The…read moreservice is friendly and accommodating, and the prices fair--€90 for a tasting menu, €120 with local wines (in some cases, very local, as in made on-premises). The scenery can't be beat. Food was almost uniformly good, and at times quite clever. Highlights were the chicken tortellini and Parmigiano fondue, cooked in a pig bladder (an echo of the culatello salumi they make on-site) and served tableside. This kind of theatrical, yet logical dish is why they get the Michelin star. The pig bladder is like a medieval sous vide pouch, snipped open tableside. Then they shave "bottarga di culatello," or the dry leftover bits of ham, tableside--a testament to the old peasant ways of not letting anything go to waste. There was more of that culatello, the buttery, first-cut kind, served as a first course. If you're staying at the relais you will get sick of this house specialty that costs up to €90 per kilo, but this selection promises to rekindle your interest. Another highlight was frog legs, presumably harvested from the Po river less than 300m away. What an unexpected treat, but one that revealed the one notable flaw I found--the salt balance in some of the dishes. My theory is that because so many of the endemic food products here--salumi and cheese--are heavily salted, the kitchen tends to scale back the salt elsewhere. This was evident in those frog legs, which featured potato purée and zucchini garnishes that were almost unsalted, and in the shockingly orange-yolked poached egg, with more of that same purée, and some garden vegetables. That dish was fairly bland, and could've used--dare I say it--some cured ham somewhere, or at least some salt in the potatoes. But that's not enough to detract from what is overall a soulful, memorable experience. The wine selection deserves special notice. The house brut is delightful, with none of prosecco's headaches or toothaches. And I had a couple whites that clearly reflected a terroir you can't get anywhere else. (They also make a wonderful house Lambrusco for 8 stinking Euro). There were only a few people in the restaurant, although it was a Wednesday in early August, when many places throughout Europe effectively shut down. Here's hoping it fills up with the kind of diners who will appreciate swamp monsters fished out of the local river.
