Food in Parma - A Gourmet Guide

Guides ITALY FOR ME on food and drink in Parma.

What is in Parma

  • Parmigiano cheese platter different ages from 12 to 36 months
  • Assorted several types of local salumi: Parma ham, salami di Felino, coulatello, culatch and fiocco, pancetta, coppa, spalla cotta
  • torta fritta - small hot fried pastry pies. on them you need to put a piece of Parma ham, let it melt and then eat, washed down with cold lambrusco
  • pesto di cavallo - for the brave, a traditional Parma dish, raw minced horse meat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Will appeal to those who love beef tartar
  • overall horse meat prepared meals
  • tortelli d'erbetta and tortelli di zucca. Tortelli - square stuffed pasta. The first - with ricotta and local, the second with pumpkin. Served in butter with grated Parmigiano
  • anolini in brodo - traditional local stuffed pasta (minced meat, parmigiano, bread crumbs) in broth

Where to eat traditional Parma food

  • Osteria dei mascalzoni - traditional Parma cuisine, a small osteria in the center. The prices are average, the quality is excellent, not a tourist place
  • Officina Dedicata - A small restaurant actually from the other end of the same street as the previous one. A small traditional menu and every day new dishes from seasonal products. Excellent homemade lambrusco, prices are slightly below average in Parma.
  • Trattoria corrieri - a large trattoria, more accessible and tourist. The cuisine is exclusively traditional Parma, against the background of the fact that in general Parma has quite tasty restaurants, it’s just not bad
  • La forchetta - One of the best restaurants in the city center, the cuisine is both traditional Parma and fish menu. Tasty and expensive.

Fast / Street Food

  • Pepen - a historic bar with a panini in the center, I recommend going there during lunch and standing in line from the locals who have been coming here for generations. Have a carciofa (pie with ricotta, parmigiano, artichokes and prosciutto cotto) for 2.5 euros and drink a glass of lambrusco
  • Franc foccacia - a huge menu of small focaccia with various fillings at a price of about 3-5 euros, an excellent selection of craft beer
  • Degusteria romani - take anolino da passeggio (local small stuffed pasta in the broth) in a cardboard cup and keep warm while walking around the city

Good drink: bars, enoteca

  • Bread - A small and noisy little bar in the center with excellent designer cocktails, I recommend going there after dinner. The price of a cocktail in the region of 10-12 euros
  • SB54 Parma - a bar in the Barilla Center shopping center, a little far from the center, but it is quite within walking distance. Big designer cocktail card for every taste, cocktail price 10-15 euros
  • Tabarro, Enoteca Fontana - Two enotecs on the main party street of Parma, Via Farini. The first is slightly more expensive, more atmospheric and the choice of wines is more “refined” or something. There are several types of craft beer, snacks for wine and even a small restaurant on the second floor. The second one is more accessible and simple, but locals hang out more often inside (the entrance is not from the central, but from the side street).

Where to have breakfast

  • Le delizie - drink excellent cappuccino and eat a croissant with pistachio cream from real pistachios and crunch caramelized pistachios on it. 2.70 - croissant and cappuccino at the bar, a little more expensive than the average for the city, but the quality is worth it.

Gelato

  • Ciacco - Gelato Lab directly opposite Reggio Theater. Only natural ingredients and unusual tastes.
