From the outside, it looks like the seating area only allows for 10 or so customers to dine. You are then taken into another room where it opens up to seating for up to 25 or so people. Quite a surprise to say the least... After being seated, we were greeted by our waiter. He was gracious enough to translate the menu, which was all in Italian, into English. They have a good selection of antipastis, pastas and entrees. My party ended up ordering the prosciutto 30 month aged. It came out with these bread nuggets. The bread was hollow but nonetheless extremely tasty. We shared the meat and bread between 3 of us yet had tons of leftovers. I ended up also ordering the gnocchi with marinara. So delicious! Would definitely come again

The hospitality and food were both what we needed and I can not recommend this lovely little family owned restaurant enough. The Parma specialties... ham, salamis, cheese, bread, pastas and main dishes were all flawless. Anything you order will leave you happy and satisfied. Italy has the best food on the planet and I hope to return again.

I had the pumpkin gnocchi with truffles - they were perfect. Also tried the pasta fagioli, which was delicious as well (reminded me of my grandmother's!) The tiramisu was light and creamy. I'd go back again and again! The wait staff were so kind as well. I do not speak Italian and was fumbling through using Google translate and they were very patient and gracious. (Note: the menu is in italian so you'll need to translate it if you don't speak the language). We were also given plenty of time to sit and chat and enjoy a leisurely meal. No rush to leave. I loved this restaurant and highly recommend it!

Parma oh Parma, is it even possible to eat badly here? I don't think so! I got this recommendation…read morefrom a friend and I am so happy I did because it was a great first taste of the city. VERy simple, and I mean 1980's restaurant style in Italy. It was all grannies and Italian families on the Saturday that we were there. The place is bigger than it looks, with an outside garden and main dining room. The kitchen is bustling with Italian ladies who look like they were born making fresh pasta, which I loved. The menu offers typical favorites like prosciutto (we are in Parma!) torta fritta which are pillows of fried dough so good you'll eat them all. We followed that with two heaping (huge portions) of pasta, I got a ravioli stuffed with herbs and cheese and covered in a parmigiana, which was very light (satire). There is a guy with a bollito cart (boiled meats) that was kind of hilarious, I mean how many times in your life are you going to see some dude carting around a selection of meats in broth from table to table, that's Italy. We ordered the house lambrusco which frankly sucked but house wine can do that, my recommendation get a bottle. Awesome experience, very old-school, I'd wager this place is a bit of a find among locals. I wouldn't recommend this for a romantic date because of the bright lighting but they are very dog-friendly, in fact I think they preferred our dog over us. Ginger wins them all..

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!

Then the main course served was supposedly roast beef but really dry and there is nothing special about it. The dessert is good but then again nothing special. There are 48 of us who went to this restaurant and we can tell they are not used to catering for a lot of people coz some of the servers can be mean. it takes time for them to serve ice. (NB: don't expect to be given ice while in Italy, in every restaurant we've been to Ice isn't usual, they always ran out) The restaurant is clean and located in a quaint area of Parma. They offer lots of choices in their menu and maybe we just didn't order the right one.
