This past month, we were traveling in Italy. We looked for restaurants for a meal in the evening…read morein Parma. We were lucky to get a reservation. We were greeted by friendly staff and escorted to our table. Both Italian and English menus were available. The restaurant is small and nicely decorated. Bread and breadsticks were given. We ordered a bottle of wine and checked out the menu. Our server was nice and helped us with choosing food items. The first course was Antipasto dello Zingaro. ( Cold meats ) Our second course was Tortelli di Erbette. (Ravioli stuff with spinach and Parmesan cheese) which was the best Ravioli we have ever had. Next was new meat for us to try. HORSE MEAT. Tris di Cavallo. Presented 3 ways. RAW. Roasted and Tartare. We liked the first two. But the Tartare was not for us. This dish came with roast potatoes. The restaurant got busy during our visit. I would recommend making a reservation. The decor was fresh and clean. With many Italian fixtures. The noise level was low when we visited, but sure, it could be higher on the weekends. We highly recommend a visit or two.

This is our third or fourth time eating here over the past 8 years. The food is phenomenal. I…read morehighly recommend the prosciutto and Parmesan reggiano appetizer plates. And the fried dough!! However, the service was significantly lacking this visit. They were rude, inattentive. We asked to sit outside and he said inside was better. So we said we'd prefer outside (as we've always done) and he rolled his eyes and walked inside. So we followed him inside and got a table. The appetizers took over an hour. The server never came back to check on us. We never even moved onto ordering entrees. And I'm annoyed because I thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin raviolis in the past. I wanted them again. It was a great place to stop while strolling the cobblestone streets of Parma. I recommend the food but not the service or atmosphere anymore.

The Good: An absolute gem we were thrilled to stumble…read moreacross in Parma. We wandered in for dinner at 6:30 and were told by the gentleman behind the bar that they don't serve dinner til 8pm, but had meat, cheese & drinks available until then. We were so glad we stayed, because he was also the owner, a younger Parma local, who hand-selects their excellent cured meat & cheese and curates their ever-changing menu. It was a real treat to talk with him about his passion for local, responsibly-sourced food. What a breath of fresh air after endless similar traditional white-tablecloth restaurants. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the front area, joined by groups of younger diners and modern, upbeat music, and there is also a quieter, larger, more formal dining room in the back. Affordable, approachable prices with hearty portions. The Bad: Nothing! We couldn't eat the whole menu and wanted to try everything! Not for a light meal, so go hungry or just enjoy wine with cured meat & crispy polenta! The Food: Fascinating, ever-changing and unique menu of hand-selected cured meat, cheese, and hearty housemade pastas with horse and liver for example. The Service: We were served both drinks and food by the knowledgeable and hardworking owner Dario, who selected wine pairings and helpfully translated the entire menu for us, highlighting favorites and speciality items. Overall: A gem of a restaurant in Parma, especially for younger, adventurous and casual diners looking for a place to enjoy carefully selected food done differently by passionate locals for affordable prices.

We had a delicious lunch here. Now that i live in Italy and eat my share of pastas every day, i am…read morestarting to be really be able to distinguish between good and very good ones: at in this trattoria, they were in the latest category: delicious! For appetizers, we had a degustation of Parmigiano and a separate plate of local hams. The quality of products was high and we enjoyed a lot (but be aware that it is really more of a degustation so that quantities are small). In the region, you can eat a special type of very greasy ham with fried polenta and this specialty was also part of the degustation, along with normal Parma, and some sausage. For Parmigiano, we were served 4 different types, one with honey, one spicy (surprising texture and taste), and two other different maturation time. So, as you already know, pastas were amazing: we had some mushrooms ones which may sound quite common but they were delicious. It was part of the suggestions of the day. We also had some raviolis filled with ricotta with asparagus and ham: again a quite common recipe but the taste was really really good!

Atmosphere was slightly formal with table clothes and nice plating. Bread and water were served. The food came out pretty quickly. The portions were exactly right so we could eat all of it. I got the pumpkin gnocchi which was very delicious. It was soft and retained the potato flavor, very different than gnocchi I've had in America. The pumpkin sauce was rich and creamy, and the truffle on top added a very light earthy flavor. Some of the best gnocchi I've ever had!
