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!

The staff were so patient with our poor Italian and so lovely about recommending pastries for us to try. We loved the sbrisolona (almond crumble from Mantua, Lombardy), but the brioche filled with zabaione/zabaglione (a kind of custard made with egg yolks, sugar and alcohol) was next level!! The coffee was very good too!!

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.

They even have great, vegan options. That is almost impossible to find in Italy. The owner has figured out how to make great, vegan options. The chocolate is to die foah yummy.

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!
