28/06/2025: A Real Discovery in the Heart of the Bassa Parmense!
Last night I had the pleasure of dining in this typical Parma tavern with my dear friend, and I was simply amazed by the quality and authenticity of the dishes. It's a real shame that such an exceptional place is not yet known as it deserves!
We started the evening with two appetizers that turned out to be true masterpieces: the fried cake filled with gorgonzola and the fried cake filled with cooked shoulder. Both were sublime, a perfect balance of flavors and an incredible fragrance. Afterwards, we couldn't help but try the fried polenta with fondue, another spectacular dish that delighted our palate.
For the second courses, my friend opted for a fillet with pink pepper, while I let myself be tempted by a slice of patanegra. Both dishes were nothing short of excellent, well cooked and with quality raw materials.
Even the wine list, although limited, turned out to be a good selection of labels, perfect to accompany our courses.
We were lucky enough to dine outside, under the portico, cooled by the ceiling fans, and it was very pleasant. The only small note, which I hope can be a starting point for improvement, is that the interior of the restaurant seemed to be rather hot and would need air conditioning to ensure maximum comfort even for those dining inside.
Despite this small detail, my overall impression is extremely positive. The only discordant note, if I may say so, was the realization that on a Friday evening the restaurant was so sparsely crowded. An osteria of this caliber, with such authentic cuisine, deserves to be always full.
If you are looking for a Parma culinary experience, where tradition meets excellence, I can only warmly recommend you try this place. Do it before it becomes impossible to find a table!
