Ristorante nel cuore del centro di Parma, con cucina tipica parmigiana, pasta fatta in casa, salumi della tradizione e piatti di pesce.

After a morning walk through Palma and early afternoon lunch was in order and this place looked welcoming as well authentic and it was! Had a very enjoyable easy going Italian lunch with a delicious range of freshly made pastas and locally sourced ingredients and farmed products. Friendly and informative wait staff and open air terrace or inside restaurant. Highly recommend.

At the arrival we were received with a warm welcome and showed to our table by a waitress, another served us an aperitivo and another took first ordersâ¦..and this was the first flawâ¦..being served by too many people enabled us to be followed correctly. In fact when we needed an information about one of the dishes, one of us had to get up and search a person from the staff cause we didnât have a handler.For appetizer we had 12-24-36 months cured culatello with focaccia bread, it was very good but while we were finishing the ham slices the waiter (one of them) took away the serving plate with the rest of focaccia bread which was supposed to accompany the dish we were still finishing.For first course we had ravioli with burrata cheese and white rabbit ragù sauce and risotto with salami and porcini mushrooms, I am attaching the picture of the menu as you can see it seems a âwhiteâ risottoâ¦â¦what arrived was a risotto full of tomato that covered completely any other taste while the porcini mushrooms were tiny and hard to findâ¦â¦â¦the ravioli were good and the sauce also but they were a part, no harmony in the dish and it was very dry.For dessert we read in the menu about a typical âDuchessa cakeâ, we asked the waitress serving us to explain what is wasâ¦â¦she used some specific patisserie term and when I asked to explain better she had a very smarty attitude. When she told us there was zabaione, my partner said âno, thank you, I canât eat zabaioneââ¦.so we decided to take a dessert called âChocolate pyramid with Chantilly creamâ Well the sweet had some yellow drops on it and asking the waiter (who obviously wasnât the one who took the order) we were told it was zabaione!!!!â¦â¦â¦â¦.what in the menu was called Chantilly cream was the yellow cream you see in the photoâ¦..and when I tried to contest the waiter insisted in an arrogant way that that was how Chantilly cream was supposed to beâ¦.â¦..I suggest to check out on Google the recipeâ¦..I guess the review speeks for itselfâ¦â¦â¦.place not recommendedDear Madam,We regret you were not fully satisfied with our Restaurant. With reference to your comments, we would like to explain to you as follows.Service is so important as cuisine, that's why each waiter has his/her role: one welcomes the guests and takes them to the table, another one offers them something to drink and serves them during the meal. This way of service characterises a Restaurant service quality.When appetizer is over, our waiters are used to removing the dishes in order to proceed with the other courses. Focaccia was removed because Culatello is served with this kind of bread, so once Culatello is consumed, waiter has to remove the empty dishes. However, on each table there is a basket full of differenti bread varieties.Risotto with salami and mushrooms is guarnished with red sauce: this is a traditional recipe of our Restaurant. On the menù we do not write Risotto is "white"... As regards Ravioli, sauce is placed directly on the dish in order to allow our Guest to enjoy the recipe nuances.Zabaione is not present in the Chocolate pyramid with Chantilly cream. However, some drops of zabaione are present on the dish as guarnishing but they do not come in touch with the dessert. This guarnishing is tought to the chefs during their training; we apologise ourselves if you were not informed about it. We hope you will come back in order to enjoy another meal.

This was a fun surprise in the out skirts of Fidenza, Italy. We were welcomed into this simple space. Good acoustics and simple menu focused on fish. They offer a set menu or you can choose from their basic menu.We decided to order the fried fish platter to start and it was plenty for the 4 of us to share and perfectly cooked.Then we had a couple upon of pasta dishes and one bowl of assorted shell fish. The pasta with small river crabs was delicious but hard to eat and a very large portion.Then we shared a main course of Branzino and fall vegetables. The wine list had a good selection of local wines. Well priced food and wine.

Visited this out of way restaurant as part if a group of 20 people. Wow! The food was fantastic - mostly local produce including the famous Parma Ham and of course Parmesan cheese, which the staff are most proud of. The first course alone (ravioli stuffed with cheese and spinach) would have kept me going all night, it was just wonderful.Several courses later (including a huge buffet as the 3rd course) we eventualy staggered home. The local wine is also excellent - watch out for a house sparkling red.This restaurant is worth seeking out - judging by the signs on the wall the Lions Clubs know all about it.Definitely worth going back.

The 12 monaci (12 monks) is a restaurant with a few rooms for the ... Pilgrims! Probably an old monastery, it's located right by the local church. The rooms are quite small (perhaps formerly monks's cells) but the food experience is what you want to go for! As a starter we had the mix of local hams and that' s alone is already worth the trip down here! Pastas are just great, as you would expect in a region where food is god! Desserts are also great, Â no matter what you will choose. The wine list is up to the game and the check will positevely surprise you. Don't dare missing it!

Great food with very attentive staff. Started with a plate of mixed meats, Felino Salami, Culaccia Rossi, Prosciutto of Parma etc. All excellent quality and obviously local. We then had the steak, which was well prepared, tender and tastefully mature. Washed down with a beautiful local Lambrusco Fiore Di Bosco from a small vineyard nearby, Too full for more food, so coffe and a home made Sloe liqueur. DOn't wait to pass this way, make an effort to visit. It is a lovely walled town with a moated castle at its centre.

A traditional restaurant in a hotel few minutes out of the main town. Familiar, informal, accurate and appropriate service, timely too. Intriguing menu options, so much so that I seriously considered having two main courses.In the end we had risotto with sausage and mushrooms, and anolini (stuffed fresh pasta, like small round ravioli), spalla cotta (stewed ham, with beans and onions), and a unique combination of fried frogs, eel and catfish.Price was quite reasonable considering the setting at 30 Euros per person including wine and dessert.

This is a deli shop with some food served to eat there. This review is about the deli shop only, the service and food for eating there may well be better. We came early in the day to choose and buy some culatello, culaccia and raw cured ham - three different kinds of prized and expensive pork raw cured meats.No prices were shown for any of the goods sold by weight. We did ask and were quoted 95 Euros per kilo for culatello, and 65 for culaccia, 38 for ham - sliced and sold by the 10 or 100 grams, surely a whole chunk would cost much less. Even assuming the quality was much higher than average, we thought these prices were significantly higher than available in nearby supermarkets so chose to buy only a little bit of ham, that we will try with friends in a couple of days. I would love to hear from local connoisseurs whether these prices really were as high above average as they sounded to us. We left with the strong feeling we had been quoted a very high price as we were obviously one-time-visiting tourists.Dear customer,I am sad to read your words and I took myself a few days to better organize the ideas and give a proper reply to your doubts.- Locals and tourists, as long as they are polite and respectful of our service, are just the same to us; for this reason, the prices are there for everybody to see: please consider the fact that you may not have noticed them :-) - We have an electronic scale that clearly displays the weight to the customer: we sell every product weighed and the price is proportional.- The prices you reported in your review are correct and very well documented even without asking a connoisseur, you just made one mistake: Culatta costs ⬠42 / kg and not ⬠65 / kg; it's Palasone DOP raw shoulder that costs ⬠65 / kg sliced... you probably misunderstood my explanation.I hope the ham you bought will convince you and your friends to be our guests in the future: the price of our quality products will remain more or less the same, but the fact that before you have tried them may have changed a bit the taste of your experience.

The restaurant is a top notch one, the choice of pizzas is vast and apparently the pizzas are extremely good! I'm raw vegan so i ate a mixed salad... the plate was big but the salad was tiny and not very appealing with a sad half kiwi and a tablespoon of buckwheat! Sad they refused to add something like carrots or tomatoes (i forgot to mentioned that it was a totally green salad).The other members of the family were happy so we might go back!Waiters were extremely kind.

Wonderful!We are traveling through Italy on vacation and chose this restaurant based on its ratings on TripAdvisor as we often do, but I have to say it really exceeded expectations. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere in a pretty part of town, close to the attractions of the center. We were warmly welcomed and got great advice on the menu and choice of wine. The dishes are made with traditional local ingredients, enhanced by the creativity of the chef, and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!
