First of all, the service was top notch. It's a great atmosphere. Now for the food, we had the garlic knots, chicken Parm and fettuccine Alfredo. The knots were so different, more like a twist... taste excellent. Both the entrees came out hot and delicious. We will be back!! read more

If they had 10 stars, I'd give them 11! Every time i come it's made with so much love lol! This time (we order the same always) we got the following: * Caesar salad 10/10 it's the perfect amount of wet, salty & crunchy ugh, craving 1 again! * hot wings personally, they are decent but rest of my family loved them. 4/5 (could be hotter) * pepperoni pizza 100000/10! The perfect crunchy crust & just the right amount of grease, soooooo yum! read more

I've driven past here countless times without ever stopping, but we finally decided to drop in for an early dinner. While the front parking lot is a bit tight being part of a strip mall, there's plenty of parking in the back with a convenient walkway to the front. Since it was Father's Day and a World Cup match was playing, the place was completely buzzing! We had a 25-minute wait, but it flew by because they have outdoor seating and a online link where you can easily keep track of your spot in line. Once we sat down, the service and food completely delivered. I started with a cold beer while we waited for our pizzas, which were absolutely delicious. Don't skip the Eggplant Chips either--they were wonderfully nice and crispy! read more

Fantastic flavors in the toppings, the sauce, and even the dough. The quality ingredients were a delicious synergy. I'm so glad that my wife and I ordered the big 14 inch versions, so that we could enjoy the leftovers. And reheated in an air fryer it was a tasty Deja Vu. Our pies were the Buford Drive and the Meatarian. Service was also attentive and we never lacked for drink refills. They checked in on us to ensure that everything was good and any needs met. The stone floors and wood accents make for a stylish experience that was still casual. Seating included booths and long family/group tables. read more

Good food. Generous portions whether select pizza or pasta. Appetizers good for family style dining. The mozzarella 'rounds' were very good. I was not as impressed with the brussel sprouts. They were larger than others I have eaten, and appreciated that. The underwhelming part was the small amount of sauce that covered them. An adequate amount to cover the dish's contents would have garnished an additional star. With a large part, it would have been conducive to assign multiple servers. Our server was nice, but appeared to be overwhelmed at times. She was sweet and did check on our group multiple times. My selection of Spaghetti Bosco was a solid one. The hand made spaghetti truly had a 'garden' feel with ample mushrooms, spinach, basil and sun dried tomatoes amongst other delicious ingredients. The roasted chicken was prominent and had good flavor. The delicious wedge of bread that came with my meal was not necessary, but highly appreciated! My co-workers gluten free meat filled pizza smelled amazing and was large enough to share and have leftovers. She had selected the restaurant for our dinner and frequented often. Our group sat at several connected tables near the kitchen area. The entrance had a sports bar feel with hi-boy tables and televisions featuring various games. Security was present and provided assurance that customer safety is paramount. The parking lot was well lit and offered adequate spaces in front and the rear of Parma and surrounding businesses. Various size groups and what appeared to be some regulars were peppered throughout the establishment. Would definitely return to sample the build your own pizza the next time I'm in the area. read more

Visited Parma Tavern with some family after a day sightseeing in the area. It's a favorite of theirs so we didn't really plan to come visit. Service and all the staff we encountered were all wonderful! The food was pretty decent as well. The pizzas were definitely our favorite! The size and topping options were perfect. They also had amazing french fries! The cannolli's were also a hit! 10/10 recommend a stop in! read more

I went here last Monday and had the time of my life. The food was decent, I probably ordered the wrong thing! BUT THE ATMOSPHERE... The KARAOKE. Service was good too! I had a blast. read more

It's more of a bar/pub feel, but the food is excellent! I've tried two of their unique pizzas (both excellent!) and my husband has gotten the Alfredo each time. We love the crispy Brussels, mozzarella sticks, and garlic knots as well! The service is better than I thought it would be for a pub kind of place! We love coming here, but it's a smaller place so probably not ideal for parties of more than about 5-6. read more

Absolutely amazing! Came in with my family after a trip to the mall and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Our server was attentive! It was slightly crowded inside, but after eating there I can understand why!! The lights were dim inside, creating an ambiance that I enjoyed. We ordered drinks, pizzas for the table and wings. The wings were absolutely fire! The ranch and blue cheese are made from scratch and the flavor profile is soooo yummy! The pizzas were great as well. I normally prefer saucier pizzas, but these were amazing. read more

First visit to this location. Ordered two 8" thin crust pizzas, one Margherita and one Pepperoni & Mushrooms. Perfect size for single serving per person. Both were excellent. Perfect mix of tasty crust with good chew. Dusting of corn meal on bottom, finished with nice brown spots. Bright clean tomato sauce, savory, salty, and gently spicy pepperoni, fresh cut earthy Shiitake mushrooms, tied together with smoky mozzarella cheese. My wife said her Margherita pizza was as good as my custom ordered pizza. Both of us completely enjoyed our pizzas. Looked at other local pizza places before this one. They didn't messure up to Parma's servings or service. Visited at 1PM on Tuesday. The place was full, but the service was quick, but didn't feel rushed. Our server was forthcoming with recommendations which were proven by the quality of the pizzas. Will be back soon. read more

Parma has become one of my wife and I's favorite spots. The atmosphere is always welcoming, relaxed, and lowkey, and the service is consistently attentive without being overbearing. We come here at least twice a month, especially when the new monthly specials drop. This visit, I had the Italian Herb Chicken with Alfredo and penne along with the Parmissimo sandwich, and both were fantastic. The chicken was packed with flavor, the Alfredo was rich without being too heavy, and the sandwich was ridiculously good. My wife also got a dirty martini from the bar that she's still talking about. But the biggest standout was easily the churro cannoli. Parma seriously needs to make that a permanent menu item because it was unreal. Between the food, atmosphere, and consistency, this place just doesn't miss. read more

Came here with the family and my dad for dinner and it was pretty decent. The atmosphere was definitely more bar like and casual than family oriented but the food was surprisingly tasty. The server was nice and the service wasn't bad either. None of the food we ordered was incorrect and I think she only forgot one thing (an extra side of marinara but it was no big deal!) overall if I'm back in Georgia I would visit again and maybe try their drinks because everything was priced moderately. read more

Food was amazing, loved the industrial feel, mimosas were spot on, and our server was fantastic. Food took a little longer than we expected but it was also super busy and it wasn't an outrageous wait. We drove 30 minutes to go to Mall of GA and I would do it again just to eat here! read more

Went here to try a new place with the family... menu offerings were slim and food was very bland... got two apps fried mozzarella and crispy brussel sprouts. Mozzarella and marinara sauce was bland, brussel sprouts were not cooked enough to be called crispy and were also flavorless. Wide and I got the Alfredo pasta with sausage... the Alfredo sauce tasted like water. Waitress was very nice and the service was good just not good food at all. read more

We came here later in the evening to have dinner. We were seated right away and our server was really awesome and patient with us. We were also getting lots of water refills too, which was nice after a game of pickleball. I thought the restaurant was nice and had a great ambiance too. It was giving me a Chicago kind of feel? As a tavern would suggest in the name. The apps were yummy. I really loved the fried mozzarella. Parm truffle fries were yummy too but a smidge heavy on the salt for me. My 8" Margherita pizza was perfect! Great size, yummy, not too heavy. I really enjoyed it here! read more

Sometimes a five star rating has as much to do with the environment as it does with the food. Parma definitely falls into this category. After nonstop cooking the day before Thanksgiving my father and I opted to go out for a burger and a beer for dinner. We were staying in Buford and looked on line for something close and relaxed. Parma was one of the first taverns that came up. The restaurant has a combination of booth, space, high top tables, and bar seating. We chose to sit at the bar and check out the menu. The bartender was fantastic. I think his name was Mike, and he was friendly, and efficient, and brought a fun atmosphere to the bar. The banter between the bartender and the staff was hilarious and not to be missed. The menu is a combination of traditional bar food, burgers, and a few Italian dishes. I had chicken Parm, which was very good and my father had a wood fired personal pizza which was divine. The prices were good, the service was first class, and the food was delicious. If I'm in the Buford area again, this is definitely someplace I will be frequenting. read more

When we arrived at 6:30ish the dining room was full, but they gave us an option to use the other half of an 8 person table that a family of three was sitting at the other end which was fine. Our waitress Leaha, was on top of everything and attentive all night. We ordered beer / wine and for our entree we ordered a meatatarian 14" pizza to share and I also had a meatball sub with fries. The food was tasty and hot when it arrived at our table. We will return. read more

We went Halloween evening for the first time. It was busy but our server was great. A lot of the seasonal menu items were out but he gave great recommendations. I created my own personal pizza. So good. Ingredients like the mozzarella were so fresh. Drinks were good too! We're already planning to go back for brunch. read more

This little spot was a whole vibe. We ordered on the phone for pick up thinking it was just going to be a little bar type of vibe but when we pulled up there was a whole Dj and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We were immediately helped by the security guard and the food was actually pretty good. I'd say for it to have been pasta at midnight from a tavern it def exceeded my expectations. I didn't get pictures because I was just enjoying the vibe and having some drinks at the bar while my food was finishing up. I recommend it as a cute date night spot or even a during the day family dinner spot for sure ! read more

Love to visit GA. But recommend you avoid server Carly. Food was good but service matters more to me. Won't be back.

We were looking for a place that we haven't try and so glad we found this place through Yelp. Would definitely come back again. We started off with the crispy Brussels sprouts appetizer. It was so tasty. For the entree, we had the Magic Mushroom pizza and the Tagliatelle Bolognese. Accompanied with one of their own draft beer and a glass of The Spring Breaker (Bacardi white rum, banana liqueur, pineapple juice, crème de coconut, lime, agave). Both drinks were amazing. Our server Katie was attentive and made sure we are ok every time she came by. The background music was good and too too blaring. Easy enough to carry on a comfortable conversation without shooting. Everything about this place was enjoyable. We would highly Parma Tavern. read more

One of my favorites!! read more

Came here for lunch and it was a very solid choice! Good food and drinks, good service. We split calamari which we really liked. I saw some reviews mention it was a small portion and I didn't feel that way at all. I got the arugula salad which was a special and the shrimp tacos. The salad was so big that I ended up taking the tacos to go because I was already so full. Took a bite of the tacos though and it had great flavor. My husband got bolognese which was also great flavor and cooked well. We got the pistachio cannolis and absolutely loved them. Overall I would recommend and definitely want to come back to try the pizza! read more

I visited on a Sunday night and enjoyed good pizza and drinks while watching football. The 8" wild mushroom pizza is a must if you're a mushroom lover. It was good and definitely filling for one person. The drinks were also reasonably priced and good. I would visit again, especially knowing the late night menu is reliable. I gave four stars because security oddly pat down my partner and we didn't really see anyone else get the same treatment. But, security also wasn't consistently at the door; he was walking around on his phone most of the time. read more

Parma Tavern - 8" Magic Mushroom - Italian Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Really good italian cuisine! The hostess/server were both so kind and the server took his time to explain where they source their ingredients from (italy) and that they bake their pizzas in the traditional ovens. The Buford Drive pizza was so worth it and I highly recommend it. I give the pizza a 9/10! The crust was crunchy and well flavored and the toppings were amazing. The Tequila Lime Chicken pasta I was really excited for because I've never tried something with that flavor, but was slightly disappointed. It's not as flavorful as expected and was a little boring personality wise. However, overall the food was good and I got full off of it so I had a positive experience. Inside was dimly lit and felt like a tavern! Nice spot with booths separated for privacy. read more

Parma Tavern - Tequila Lime Chicken Pasta, 14" Buford Drive Pizza - Italian Near Me - Buford, Georgia

I was craving wood-fired pizza and came across Parma in my Yelp search. We stopped in after church and discovered they were offering a brunch menu along with their regular menu. We selected the brunch biscuits and homemade jams for our appetizer and chose entrees from the regular menu. The eggnog cocktail with rum was very tasty and it was a perfect way to begin the holiday season. I couldn't choose between the Buford Drive and Magic Mushroom and I they don't allow you to order the pizza 1/2 & 1/2 if it does not have the same sauce/base; so I opted to get a small of each. Hubby was craving lasagna and said it really hit the spot - delicious . Our server was friendly and provided us with great suggestions when we asked about menu items. It was a wonderful experience. read more

Our first and only visit to Parma Tavern was a great experience! However, the very reason for our visit was at the recommendation of a friend who raved over their calamari. Calamari is a menu item that is practically irresistible to me if on the menu, and we made a special trip here just to try it. Sadly, they had run out and my wife was too hungry to allow me to go someplace else. HANGRY is a real condition people! Recognizing it can save so many lives! Good thing though, because we enjoyed what we did order. Our server was a bubbly Kennesaw State student who was very attentive to us during our entire visit. The restaurant was larger inside that it appeared outside and the vibe was fun and inviting. A place that you can hang out with friends, family or your smokin' hot wife of 26 years! THE FOOD We ordered the SPINACH & ARTICHOKE FONDUE and CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS appetizers, EAT YOUR VEGGIES 8" Pizza and the FETTUCCINE ALFREDO with Shrimp & Italian Sausage added. My wife loved the pizza, which in itself is a miracle because she can be very particular about crust and flavor of toppings. We both loved the fondue, but wished it wasn't so oily and I really enjoyed the Alfredo (although I wished it was a little richer and creamier). My wife also liked the Brussels Sprouts but I thought they were just okay. I've had some amazing sprouts at other restaurants like The Feed in Chattanooga that included ham, bacon and maple syrup and now I'm ruined for life. FINAL THOUGHTS Parma Tavern will definitely be added to our regular rotation of restaurants in the Mall of Georgia area. I'm always please with any restaurant that satisfies both my carnivorous nature and my wife's selective veggie-loving appetite. Bravo Parma, bravo! But please have calamari on my next visit :-) ----- UPDATE: Gave PARMA TAVERN a second visit a few days later and order the CALAMARI + an 8" Meatlover's Pizza (which was absolutely delicious). However, I was not a fan of the Calamari. While thick, french fry-like, and perfectly golden, the flavor was only just okay. 3.5 stars 2023 / 20 read more
