I got to Parma around noon and while walking around stumbled onto this beautiful masterpiece of a…read morerestaurant. If you come to Parma you have to have prosciutto and you have to have Parmesan and that is exactly what I did. I ordered a warm panini with a huge amount of prosciutto and melted Parmesan. It was so simple yet so perfect. I accompanied it with a excellent glass of glass of the local sweet 'Malvasia Dolce. This was probably one of the best lunches I had in my entire Italy trip and also one of the cheapest. I finished it off with a tiramisu and an espresso. My favourite part of not only the restaurant but Parma is the lack of tourists. I was the only none Italian in the restaurant and there were practically no tourists in the city. A very welcome change from more touristic areas like Venice and Florence.

Their butcher counter is also very impressive for a grocery chain so have a look and see if you forgot anything or there's a good sale. If you're not familiar with the European way of food shopping, remember to bring your own bag and pack your prizes; don't wait for the cashier to do it or you will wait forever! (:

The owner Daniele is amazing and super funny, his sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch and he makes a point of spoiling tourists! His Parma ham is just THE BEST (source: I grew up in Parma): make it an appetizer for a perfect tasting ("due fette di crudo di Parma")! He also has a good selection of beers, with beers from Germany, Belgium and many other European countries as well as Italian classics and craft beers. Ask the waitress, or simply check out the beer fridge. The place is simple and rustic, prices are very honest and the atmosphere is informal and easy going. You will feel totally at home.

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!

This is another reason why gelato in the US won't taste quite the same in the future!
