The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Parme

A temple of traditional Parmesan cuisine, a well-known trattoria that has its regular customers and attracts people passing through Parma. This reputation proves to be amply justified: tasty local cuisine with no false notes, very generous portions and a joyful and authentic atmosphere, all for an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Magnificent platters of cold meats, homemade pasta (tortelli with squash or ricotta and herbs) and desserts to fall. The place is always full: it's best to book in advance.

If you have a car, Ai due Platani is the restaurant not to be missed. Located six kilometres from Parma, here you can taste one of the best local cuisine in a traditional trattoria atmosphere, with red and white checkered tablecloths and panelled walls. Traditional menu, but revisited in a modern way, and exemplary products. To taste absolutely: tortelli di zucca, risotto, squab and zabaione caldo with the torta sbrisolona for dessert. Very nice selection of wines. Let the staff take care of you.

A highly recommended gourmet stopover at the gates of Parma! In the country house that once belonged to the musician Nicolo Paganini, the two chefs Davide and Makoto combine their talents to create a cuisine that is both inventive and respectful of the raw materials and seasonality of the products. The plates are an explosion of colours and flavours, everything is done to flatter the senses. To accompany the meal, ask for a wine from the vast selection of vintages offered by the house.

This family restaurant maintains its local traditions of good food. Don't be surprised by the decoration of antique furniture, chandeliers and photos of a singer, the wife of the chef in his youth. The very elegant setting lends itself to a romantic dinner. On the menu, we loved the assortment of Parma ham (Culatello PDO, the best) and parmesan, followed by Filomena pasta, prepared with four flours, almonds, cherry tomatoes, Parma ham, smoked ricotta and oregano. For dessert the semifreddo was divine. Good wines selected by hand.

A friendly address, the appointment for a pleasant moment in a warm atmosphere. Well known in Parma, it offers traditional local cuisine with well-balanced and well-presented dishes. The kitchen brigade perfectly interprets the marriage between tradition, innovation and transformation of recipes for the greatest pleasure of good forks. At the heart of this success, the raw materials of the soil, their freshness and their elaboration. All this is accompanied by a beautiful wine list. A very lively place.

This national brand has several addresses in the region, and is a must in Parma, right in the historic center. Super original, it has a decoration of bicycles and books hanging on the walls, green plants and colored neon lights for a slightly crazy acidic universe. On the menu, there is an original choice of pizza doughs: classic, multi-cereal, or black, in lighter and more digestible vegetable carbon. The composition of the pizzas is either classic or "pop", they are rather daring in the assemblies, but always with a lot of taste, we love it!
