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!

Before discovering his universe in Polesine Parmense, i had his cooking years ago in SF. It's now a stop I have to make on the journeys through Emilia Romagna. Since I last saw him he's opened two new restaurants! That's crazy talk! The homage all things pork; Hosteria Del Maiale. Very excellent home cooking style, laid back atmosphere, Culatello up the wazoo and any of the accouterments that you need to have an awesome local meal. Somehow i got sucked into what was the club of gastronomy of Polesine Parmense. A group of the gentleman celebrating food and life. They invited me for much of the local wine, pork products, and an excellent time. So I ended up with an unexpected meal that just added to my love of this place

He then told Enzo to take care of his "new" friends. We decided that an offer like that can't be missed so we went there for lunch the nest day. My friend decided to give Enzo our go-ahead to bring out whatever he thought would put a smile on our faces. As you can see from the photo I posted, Enzo was table-side a lot, asking about preferences and potential allergies. We were treated to course after course of great, locally-sourced dishes, every one would be a signature dish for eateries over here in the USA. For example, he sprinkled Parmesan cheese on our risotto (etherial!) and added "aged thirty six months" - and it was rich, creamy and memorable. This small place deserves your attention and a high rating from anyone who understands what it takes to run a memorable restaurant that delivers quality, fair-priced food. In Maranello, the debate is always - Cavallino or Montana - the two most famous restaurants in town. Each has their fans - especially given their Ferrari-centered reputation (Ferrari big-wigs have a private dining room in Cavallino, F1 drivers have memorabilia all over the walls in Montana). However, having eaten at these other excellent places, this place beats them for service, taste, and price. Go, eat, you'll thank me later!

Tortelli di zucca, tortelli di tartufo, tortelli di ricotta are the three flavors that we had and every single one of them was absolutely incredibly deliciously melt in your mouth amazing. We also had the gnocco friti con salume (which included salami, pancetta, coppa, and Parm ham). I couldn't control myself. I knew that more food was coming, but all I wanted was to stick every single piece of that hot fried dough with thinly sliced pigs meat into my mouth as quickly as possible to savor every bite. The bottle of wine (barritieri) was €12 and it was beautiful. For dessert we ordered the typical Sicilian cake, which upon arrival I was disappointed because I never thought I could eat something that had a hard layer of sugar on top. Boy was I in for a surprise. I neglected the icing on top but I ate almost all the cake underneath it I and loved every bite. Oh sweet Italy, how you have seduced me so.

We didn't want to have the kitchen open back up for us if they were already wrapping up. They assured us the kitchen wouldn't be closed for another 15 minutes so to come on in. We ordered the pizza, and the pizza guy had a meltdown. Apparently he had already started cleaning up for the night. We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.
