I got the lemon which was quite good. There is a list of flavors with photos on the wall so language is not a barrier for anyone. You could just order by number if you wanted to. This is another reason why gelato in the US won't taste quite the same in the future!

One of our group would normally get several items and we would then share the selections. In this case, I got a lemon tart and a nice cappuccino and quietly enjoyed my breakfast. The abundance of good pastry shops in Italy is amazing. We don't value them like the Italians. A pastry and a shot of espresso and then it's off to work.

One of the most affordable Pasticceria visited in Italy, the prices closer to those in Mirano than the aforementioned fashion capitol or Venice, it was with limited English that clerks provided service after extensive perusal of the options, a total of eight selections totaling just €10,80 plated and delivered to a small table. In many ways similar to other bakeries, but also offering some novelties featuring housemade Fruit Compote, tastes of the Sugar Brioche as well as the laminated Butter Baton each proved mild yet pleasant in the face of more interesting options, the citrus-scented Rice Cake moist with Ricotta while the tender Baba found itself rich with Rum. Baking the typical Cornetto more crispy than many, its smooth filling rife with Vanilla notes, even better bites were found amidst two laminated pastries packed with Black Currant Jelly, a rounded item labeled as "Sfogliatta" not dissimilar to a Kouign Amann in texture with a center of Raspberries.

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!

The facade alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find dozens of hanging Parma ham legs, plentiful cheese, local honeys, jams, pickled veggies and so on. You could build out a really nice gift basket or Parma round up from this one stop. Try the cheese when they offer a generous sample! Note that like many other bizs in Parma, they close for a few hours in the afternoon. Traveling with your meat/cheese? They'll graciously vacuum pack your purchases for save travels! Enjoy an extra sample on my behalf when you stop in!

Cesar even gave us a big bottle of water to take back to the hotel. The food was amazing considering we're in Modena. The best Chinese and Japanese cuisine. All the Sushi chef in the sushi bar are Japanese so you can be sure it's authentic. The ambiance is perfect. The Japanese decor and table set up is so conducive to fine dining. All I can say is we had a good time and the food is fantastic. Next time we'll try the Sushi Bar. I highly recommend this place if you are in Emilia Ovest area.
