Arte & Gusto In Parma

09/07/2025: A fairytale wedding, the ultimate! My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better location for our wedding day. The Gavinell Botanical Garden is a simply enchanting location, immersed in the green hills of Parma and very private, perfect for creating a magical and intimate atmosphere that stunned our guests. We celebrated on June 28, 2025. The heat and humidity in the city were unbearable, but at the Gavinell it was wonderful. As evening fell, a pleasant breeze sprung up, refreshing everyone. The organization was impeccable, and it's worth highlighting: the timing between the courses was perfect, keeping the celebration flowing at the right pace without any lulls or the feeling of frenzy. The service was superb, with the staff always kind and smiling, as well as possessing the utmost professionalism, which is increasingly rare these days. The menu was exceptional: a rich and abundant buffet, two first courses, a second course, small artisanal pastries made by them, all delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests, especially regarding the quality of the food. Even those with special dietary needs were catered for with exceptional care and attention, from allergies to tailor-made vegan menus. A special thanks goes to Luciano and Paolo, the owners, and their head waiter. They were all there for us every step of the way, with great availability and expertise, helping us organize every detail with peace of mind and confidence: we knew we were in a safe place! The price was incredibly fair for the service we received, and we had complete freedom to customize every aspect of the event: given the warm weather, we decided to eat outdoors in a beautiful olive grove, which we decorated with lights and decorations, creating a magical atmosphere! In short... It's a shame you only get married once! Thank you so much to everyone at Gavinell!

14/06/2025: I celebrated my confirmation day at Gavinell and I must say that it was a truly excellent choice! I sincerely thank the owner Luciano and his son Paolo, as well as all the staff, because they prepared and managed everything in the best way and with great professionalism! From the first meeting there was maximum availability; Luciano welcomed us with kindness, listened to us and met our requests. On the day of the celebrations everything agreed was carried out, with attention to detail; the location was excellent, as was the "mise en place" of the table; the menu and the food offered were excellent, all very good and tasty (I also thank the chef for his courtesy and availability); finally, the service as a whole was excellent, thanks to the staff who assisted us with kindness until the end of the day! If there will be an occasion, we will definitely return to this restaurant, which was also born and proposed as a botanical garden. Thank you for everything and see you soon!
