One of our best meals in the Italy! We opted for the tasting menu which was delicious, creative and very fairly priced. The setting was sumptuous. From the moment we pulled up, we knew this would be something special. The restaurant is surrounded by natural beauty with a lovely outdoor seating area to take it all in. Inside, a long bar and lush lounge area welcomes you. We sat inside and our waitress was so generous to us and our one year old son -- who even got a private tour of the kitchen. Each dish was explained and often the chef would pop by to make sure we loved it -- which we did. While there is nothing pretentious about this place, it does have very high food, drink and service standards. The perfect formula in my opinion. Not only did we feel completely taken care of but our server also shared may ideas for day trips and informed us about the local culture and cuisine. NOT TO BE MISSED!Hi Schrydee,thank you for your lovely review. You, your husband and your son were lovely guests. I hope your dinner in Modena was good and the rest of your Italy eating tour too.All the best,Martina

We arrived in Parma late and opted for this restaurant because it was close to our rental apartment. The restaurant is a small, cozy, local establishment with an excellent menu selection. The menu is not available in english but we could translate most of it and the staff was happy to help us fill in the missing gaps. We had the grilled sausages and a mixed grill pate. Everything was very tasty. The highlight was the torta fritta (a fried puffed bread) that comes with the prosciutto.

We arrived in Parma at the tail end of a half-marathon, that finished in the city. As a result of the huge increase in numbers, finding a place for lunch was proving to be difficult. As we became more desperate, (we seriously considered walking away from the city centre), I spotted some free outside tables at the end of a narrow street, behind the Basilica di Santa Maria della Steccata. We donât usually like sitting at outside tables but beggars canât be choosers so we approached. It was a good move as we were offered an indoor table - which suited us much better.I have to be honest and say that the first impressions were not good. It was pretty full but did look a little down at heel and basic. I didnât have time to consult any reviews, so were taking a bit of a gamble - that gamble that paid off handsomely.We were brought menus by the incredibly hard working waiter, who was servicing the entire restaurant by himself - and doing a very good job too. From the menu, I chose the âRigoletto bombeâ for my starter, with my wife playing safe and opting for the simple plate of prosciutto. The âbombeâ consisted of a flatbread, topped with rocket, (arugula), Brie cheese and then prosciutto. It was absolutely delicious. My wifeâs prosciutto was similarly good but as we were in Parma - the home of quality âcrudoâ - it was only to be expected.For my âsecondoâ I had a slice of stuffed and rolled, braised veal, which was very good. My wife chose a dish we had not eaten since we had it on the island of Capri decades ago - tagliatelle with lemon. When we had it on Capri, we were both blown away. Considering the simplicity and small amount of ingredients, how could it taste so good? I put it down to the amazing lemons from that part of Italy and wondered could it be reproduced so far North? I need not have worried, it was absolutely terrific. The pasta was fresh and hand-cut, with the sauce being a perfect marriage of creaminess and lemon flavour. Absolutely delicious.For dessert, my wife followed her pasta with a zabaglione mousse, with chocolate sauce. The mousse was light and fluffy but the traditional method of serving it is better - for our tastes at least. The chocolate sauce was a little too rich for the delicacy of the mousse but it certainly wasnât bad. The star dessert was my simple slice of cake. Iâd love to tell you what it was but I was so knocked-out by it, that I forgot to take any notes. My wife spotted the look on my face and demanded a taste - after which I had to be careful that she didnât eat all the rest. Now I am not the biggest fan of desserts but let me tell you that this simple cake, (with a simple syrup moisturising it?), was a revelation. Absolutely top-drawer.With the meal we enjoyed a bottle of local Lambrusco, two glasses of the recommended dessert wines and coffee and digestivi to follow. The whole delicious thing came to a grand total of â¬80 which, along with other meals we had in Parma, makes it the quality/value for money capital of Italy. You would have paid double in any of the big tourist orientated cities. As âaccidentalâ discoveries go - we could not have done any better than Rigoletto.
