"I seldom give mediocre reviews, but the food was in fact mediocre. We started with the gnocchi with mushrooms; the dumplings were better than average, but the porcini mushrooms looked and tasted like they were canned. There was also a fair bit of ground beef in the sauce (actually more than mushrooms), which was not mentioned in the menu. Second dish was fettuccine with octopus, pasta was not flavorful, and had virtually no sauce but the octopus pieces were very well cooked and tender. On to the service, which deserves one star (which is what my companion would have left had she been writing this review). After we ordered, it was difficult to get the waiter 's attention. He would walk around the restaurant looking down, avoiding all eye contact. We also ordered the branzino scallopini, but the waiter forgot to put the order in, so after finishing the pastas and waiting for half an hour we were finally able to flag him down and were told it wasn 't coming. Other diners had come in after us, eaten and left by this point. To cut our losses we decided to order tiramisu to split, which was a mistake. First the waiter couldn 't understand we wanted one desert and two plates, he kept saying due tiramisu . When it finally came (he spent 10 minutes making coffees for other customers first) it was one plate, we had to raise our voices to get his attention again for a second plate. The lady fingers were very small, in a single layer on the plate (though with a good coffee flavor) and smothered in a a thick layer of loose yellowish custard. It was sweet, but like everything else, only average. The meal came to €54 with a $17 bottle of Chardonnay. On a side note the table next to us ordered lamb chops on the bone, it came so over cooked that there was zero pink left. The diner complained to her companion but ate the dish in resignation anyway. I would have sent it back. I chose this restaurant because it had five stars, which is rare, but in truth it doesn 't deserve them if they 're going to put out average food and poor service. It may have been an off night for the restaurant, but it was still a poor experience. I sent this text to my companion for approval and she agreed it was fair and to the point."

Great Food, great service, great wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Price was very reasonable as well.
Fabienne
Rien à redire, excellent ! Avons pris risotto et gnocchetti, très bon, pas cher et super service ! Restaurant typique, à recommander.
Frederic
Le service est bon, mais l'endroit n'est pas terrible. Loin du centre et mal entouré. Les assiettes sont un peu justes, risotto correct mai un peu trop salé, comme le tarif malheureusement.

We came across this restaurant on our travels from Florence to Como. What a find. Fabulous neighborhood restaurant. Pasquale the owner will take good care of you. Parma ham and Parmesan cheese was excellent! All entrees were great. Highly recommend.
Matt
Perfect dinner. Between 5 of us, we had 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, 3 desserts, 2 botttles of wine, and limoncello all for €157. Excellent price for 5 of us. Service was above and beyond. The server knew exactly what we wanted and pretty much ordered for us. He also brought out the desserts for us. (Best tiramisu ever). Location is walking distance from the railway so very easy access.

Très bon accueil. Serveuse très sympathique et fait l'effort de parler français. Cuisine italienne et spécialités de Parme sont servis dans un cadre chic/décontracté, les plats sont très bon. Nous avons pris une assiette de charcuterie italienne en entrée (Coppa, pancetta, jambon de parme, mortadelle et Felino), des tortellini à la ricota et au épinard en plat avec une salade composée, et le traditionnel tiramissu en dessert : Excellent! (Digestif offert par la serveuse, super sympa) Rapport qualité/prix plus que satisfaisant. Adresse à retenir si vous êtes de passage à Parme.

Now here is a place we could eat every night! The service had to be the best we had in our 2 week stay in Italy. We hit 10 cities and a ton of restaurants and this one stands out as one of the best. Not only was the service outstanding but the food was top notch! We had a wonderful meal and the staff made us feel like family. Once we were almost done, the owner came up with this large ceramic cooking dish full of risotto, which we had not ordered. He offered us some and of course we accepted. With one bite I was sold! Then I looked at my family and realized that they had the same reaction. Simply put, I was full and still ate all of it, it was amazing. I wanted more and had no place to fit i...
