Bistrot Il Cerchio In Collecchio

Small, slightly bohemian place with the pleasant welcome of Francesco in the dining room and the creative flair of the young chef Pietro in the kitchen, who delighted our taste buds with dishes with truly surprising flavours. Starting from the very long leavened PandiRo' pizza, with a light dough, with just the right crunchy base, expertly stuffed (we tasted the Calabrian one and the one with raw ham), moving on to the katsuobushi risotto (one of the most harmonious and exciting dishes I've ever tasted!) and the tasty summer annolini, up to the delicate duck breast and the sumptuous turbot... to finish the chocolate mousse enlivened by a touch of saltiness and the ethereal cloud of Catalan cream, truly tasty and unusual. The bottle of local Malvasia bubbles was excellent. An experience to absolutely recommend and repeat, wishing a bright future to this young management

Excellent food and pizzas, good service and tranquil atmosphere

Il Cerchio has found an exceptional and also fascinating continuum in its new management. The chef, at the time a pongoli assistant, after a noteworthy personal and professional growth, found himself, by fate, with the burden of taking over a unique restaurant in the Parma area. Not only has he managed to give his continuity, but he is succeeding in the most difficult objective: inserting his touch without distorting the history of the place. A refined, intelligent cuisine that respects raw materials. Unique, territorial, refined, but at the same time exciting flavors. A cuisine within everyone's reach because in the end what evaluates a restaurant/bistro is the palate and for this reason my rating is 5 stars. Young, ambitious, determined guys with a desire to do. Rare commodity nowadays. I am confident that what I experienced is only the beginning of a beautiful story that began recently, but which seems to promise very interesting endings. So it makes no sense to put photos or insert critical issues but I recommend everyone to try the restaurant with the authenticity and simplicity of a child who wants to experience new emotions.

Excellent experience at Cerchio di Collecchio. Each dish surprised us with its taste and presentation: from the soft egg to the Calabrian squid, up to the risotto and the turbot. A cuisine that leaves its mark. We will return with pleasure

I think I have never tried such a good lunch in my entire life: from the starter, to the first course, to the dessert, I was able to try flavors I had never tried before. Original combinations and quality ingredients that could already be perceived from the aroma of the dishes that arrived on the table. A true culinary experience that amazed my palate with every taste: everything pleasantly unexpected.

The Circle boys are the best. Francesco in the dining room and Pietro, the great Chef in the kitchen. Go and find them. It's really worth it

I return after a few weeks, confirming my feelings... excellent quality of proposals, courtesy and availability! Original proposals, excellent combinations, both meat and fish. Excellent gourmet pizza. Congratulations to Pietro, in the kitchen and to Francesco, in the dining room, for how he describes the dishes and proposes combinations with the cellar. In my opinion, prices absolutely in line with the quality/quantity offered Worth trying again!!!

Intimate and quiet atmosphere, The dishes are delicious! Must try

Locale piccolo e un po’ retró, grazioso. Pochi coperti a disposizione. Il menù propone le PandiRó, pizze gourmet, e menù alla carta. Le pizze gourmet sono molto buone, croccanti e ben lievitate, assolutamente da provare almeno in condivisione in attesa di un altro piatto della cucina. Menù alla carta originale e dai sapori moderni, si gioca sulle consistenze e sui sapori un po’ influenzati da altre cucine del mondo. Consigliato per una occasione speciale.

E’ stata una cena perfetta. Piatti ben presentati, con abbinamenti insoliti ma ben calibrati e armoniosi. Un “ bravo” ai cuochi ed anche al servizio , impeccabile.
