Borgo 20 In Firenze

In the heart of Parma's historic center, just steps from the Duomo, this tiny bistro has carved out a space in an almost hidden alley. A modern and minimalist location with a warm and comfortable atmosphere. It loses a little privacy due to the close proximity of the tables, but it doesn't clash with the concept and the setting. First-rate cleanliness. Appropriate table setting. A typical bistro menu, with limited but well-conceived choices: eclectic, innovative, and unique yet harmonious and balanced cuisine. The roast beef duck breast is exquisitely delicate, accompanied by crispy brioche cubes with figs and well-balanced by a rice vinegar marinade. The Pan 20 focaccia is superb, a blend of crunchiness, fragrance, and flavor. Highly digestible. The sbrisolona with zabaglione cream is sublime. The selection of flours and the dough preparation are excellent. Attentive and courteous service, never intrusive. The portion sizes are adequate and average. The plating is thoughtful and flavorful. No flaws in any single course. Bill: reasonable. The site isn't for everyone's budget, but the quality of the ingredients, the dishes, and the pairings raise the bar and fully justify the reasonable Q/P. Overall, the cuisine is the jewel in the crown: innovative and varied. Dishes crafted with taste, passion, and skill. I like the restaurant's philosophy, and the level of service was excellent, worthy of the five stars. An uncommon experience. Recommended site.

Always a pleasure to return. The products and culinary experience are of the highest quality and level, and the combination of flavors is fantastic in every dish. The Pan di 20 is incredibly good, soft, and delicious. Even the bread is a cut above many places in Parma, and the first courses are exceptional. The way they treat the ingredients is a testament to their love for what they do. The service is just as good as the kitchen. The waitresses are always smiling, elegant, and infinitely kind, and their composure gives you a constant sense of tranquility and relaxation. They're excellent. One of my favorite places in Parma, I hope to return more often!

A surprising gastronomic experience in the heart of Parma. Borgo 20 is the perfect place if you're looking for carefully crafted, creative dishes rooted in Italian tradition. The menu is seasonal, refined, and offers truly interesting options, both visually and palatably. 🍕 A memorable appetizer: we started with their iconic Pan20 pumpkin and salami—soft, crispy, and delicious. Each slice is a small square, decorated with crunchy pumpkin chips and an instantly captivating sweet-savory base. 🦌 Venison tartare with figs, mushrooms, and a bright green heart of chlorophyll: elegant, balanced, and original. A dish that combines bold, seasonal flavors with a fine-dining presentation. 🍆 The caponata? Unexpectedly light and fragrant, with perfectly cooked vegetables and a touch of pesto that makes it even more intense. An excellent side dish or vegetarian main course. 🍫 Finally, a chocolate dessert with a liquid Baylis center, cocoa crumble, and hazelnut cream: a rich and rounded dessert that perfectly rounds out the meal. 💸 The bill? Around €60 per person with a €25 bottle of wine: absolutely in line with the quality and care evident in every dish. 📸 Every course deserves to be photographed—and eaten immediately after!

Returning for the third time it was a confirmation of the first experience: simply good and interesting.

Come here to enjoy. It's a gourmet osteria where eating is a culture and preparing a meal is an art. You can have a very good lunch here, even if it takes an hour and a half. The best risotto I've ever eaten, to die for!!! The semi-cooked swordfish is superbly cooked and also recommended. The wines by the glass are very well selected.

Just a stones throw from Parma Cathedral we found this delightful ristorante that focuses on organic DOP and DOC products. We started with an off-menu appetizer of porcini mushrooms (in season right now) on their signature focaccia style bread. Next we had the duck breast, « like » margarita pizza, and shrimp linguine. For desert, we shared the « Fichissimo » and lemon pie. The tastes played amazingly well together. Our waiter was extremely professional and attentive. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Be sure to make reservations!

You have to look at the menu first, but what comes out of the kitchen is sensational.

I ate very well, and the interior decor was also beautiful. The staff were very hospitable.

Borgo 20 is a place where you can indulge in a deep-dish pizza. I recommend it.

Lovely welcoming staff, great plate of prosciutto but food that needed cooking overly ‘played with’ - vividly green cannelloni that Mr Kipling would be proud of :)
