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!

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..

A lovely place for dinner! It was about 10 minutes away walk from the main area of Parma but worth…read morethe walk. The restaurant is located in a piazza below the street along with a supermarket. The service was excellent. Our servers could speak English so that helped us. A seating area and a bar are on the piazza. The area was heated. A large grill was also outside with a someone grilling meats. We sat inside at a long communal table. It had an old school Italian trattoria vibe. It was softly lit. We ordered the Lambrusco since it is the local Specialty. We were surprised that it came in a good sized bowl rather than a wine glass We actually thought it was soup lol The Lambrusco is much different in Italy. It has a light effervescence and is well bodied. The Tortellini in beef broth is also a local dish. The broth was Ric with a lot of beef flavor. The tortellini had a beef filling. It was delicious. We had pumpkin and a cheese ravioli. Both were delicious. For the entree I had the beef. It was excellent. It was very tender and had a rich gravy on top of potatoes. The roasted onion and tomato added a delicious flavor.

We pulled into Parma on the way to Milan to fly back to America and I paid to park in a parking garage and now 6 months later I'm getting a ticket in the mail? This is how you treat tourists spending money in your country? That became a very expensive lunch. We enjoyed our experience at the restaurant and would keep the 5 stars, but YOUR CITY ruined it and we will never come back or recommend to our friends to visit PARMA.

The restaurant is spacious and elegant old style, certainly a good place for a business dinner or bring your family for a special event. Service is decent. I was there in a Sunday evening by myself, I was quite surprised to have the whole restaurant for me. Perhaps locals think Eataly is overrated outside Italy.
