Caffé Teatro Regio In Parma

The dining room is very elegant, and features a piano with a portrait of Giuseppe Verdi. There's a disabled bathroom for customers. The chandeliers are beautiful.

Excellent wines, a wide selection of spirits (especially gin), top-quality cured meats and cheeses, and, last but not least, excellent prices. A bar that retains its historic charm and is one of the few places in Parma I still frequent.

Very nice and elegant, the guys are very friendly

It's a beautiful place, worth visiting.

My wife and I spent a full month in Parma, and this café became one of those places we stopped in just to enjoy the atmosphere. The service was fine overall, sometimes a little slow, but always polite. The food and pastries were decent—nothing over the top, but fresh and satisfying. What truly stands out here is the building itself. The café is part of the historic Teatro Regio complex, built in the early 1800s under Duchess Maria Luigia. You can feel that history in every detail—the chandeliers, the mirrors, the marble, the sense of old-world elegance. If you come expecting a high-end meal, you might leave underwhelmed. But if you come for the experience, a coffee, and a little glimpse into Parma’s cultural heart, it’s a beautiful stop and worth a visit.
