Antica Pasticceria Pagani 1856 Parma In Parma

The brioches are good quality, with excellent leavening. The cream is excellent. The only downside is the price. €2.30 for a classic brioche and €2.80 for a gianduja bread, all to-go. It's true that inflation is rampant, but €2 seems more than fair to me.

Historic pastry shop where some specialties are unattainable... See the famous meringues, to name one

My favorite pastry shop during my stay in Parma. I went there several times because I love their cakes. Very good value for money for breakfast or an afternoon snack. The staff is discreet and friendly. Very clean place.

This place is old and delicious! I had a pain au chocolote that was really good and I recommend it.

The Duchess cake is delicious, I recommend it!!

I've been here three times now, and everytime it’s such a lovely experience. Everyone is incredibly nice, and the food is just tasty. I haven’t tried anything here that wasn’t. It’s really the perfect spot to pick up something for a quiet breakfast. The prices are good and fair. Should I ever return to Parma, this is definitely one of the spots I'd visit again.

It's been a while since I've been there, but I'd like to recommend it because everything is very good and reasonably priced. I recommend it. It's my favorite pastry shop, even though it's diabetic. When I go there, I only order savory items, which are also available and excellent. Unfortunately, recently there's a new, very young clerk who I hope won't serve me anymore because she's having some problems. She wanted me to pay by card because I asked if she'd exchange coins for me, but she said she didn't have much, so I decided to pay in cash. She insisted I pay by card so I could "help her," are you kidding? Not the best kindness. The last time, while she was serving me, the other clerk pretended to serve me and listen to me, but she was serving another customer, so she gave him what I asked for, which then wasn't there (which the customer also asked for, anyway), with a mocking smile. It's not normal for clerks or shopkeepers to insist on a payment method: I choose what I prefer. Despite this, I give it 5 stars.

The cake is as good as other cake shops but as expensive as quinine.

The pain au chocolat is delicious, as is the coffee. The pastries are very good. Cons: There aren't many seats and the bathroom is out of order.

Pain au chocolat unrivaled… Even when compared to the greats of Italian pastry, it wins by far. Hats off!
