Arte & Gusto In Parma

23/05/2024: In the capital of a province known worldwide for its gastronomy and passion for wines, standing out as a place specializing in wines and top quality products among so many good offerings is already quite a merit. But here we are talking about much more: a winery - tapas bar that would undoubtedly also be a reference in much larger cities. It is not easy to find something like it even in the major European capitals. Located in a charming corner of one of the main streets of Parma, via Farini, its letter of introduction is clearly evident when you take a look through its windows: hundreds, or rather thousands, of bottles from the most different origins. . All of them conscientiously selected and perfectly describable by their owner, who advises with contagious passion and deep knowledge based on the tastes expressed by the client. A more than good opportunity to try labels from famous origins and others that may not be so well known but equally delicious. Because in addition to its large catalogue, here you can order wines by the glass, which allows access to high-level wines that would require a considerable investment per bottle. Not only this. Although at first glance it may go unnoticed as there are no major external attractions, the truth is that this winery is also a notable place where you can taste exceptional food. There is no shortage of high-quality cheeses and sausages from the area, of course, but also international options such as a 100% Iberian ham that would stand out in Extremadura itself, Cantabrian anchovies and French cheeses. Special mention for the steak tartare, with a freshness and flavor on par with any of those tried in large restaurants and masterfully prepared by the friendly lady who is in charge of the small kitchen and who, from what we thought based on her attention and interventions, he also has vast knowledge of the world of oenology. It is without a doubt a 100% recommendable place and a must-visit in Parma both for the quality of the product and for the atmosphere and service, as witnessed by the fact that it is a regular stop for VIPS who love the authentic without artificial postures and gourmets of the city. .
