31/08/2025: On our return journey after two wonderful weeks in Tuscany with our motorhome, we stopped off in Parma to avoid driving the entire route in one go. This decision was absolutely perfect – that's how we discovered Ristorante La Forchetta.
We had reserved an indoor table as we weren't sure what the weather would be like. Arriving under cloudless skies, we received a very friendly welcome and, upon request, were moved to the beautiful garden without hesitation.
The food was simply sensational – perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The wine selection was also outstanding. A particularly positive aspect: We were served by four different people, and all of them were equally warm, attentive, and competent. You immediately sense that the people here enjoy and are passionate about their work.
For us, this dinner was a wonderful end to our trip. Many thanks to the entire team – we can truly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
30/08/2025: We're a family of four, two children and two adults.
This restaurant is truly the best. Of the over 20 restaurants we visited during this trip, it was by far the best. I want to go back.
1. The service is very friendly and professional. Even though we didn't have a reservation, they showed us to a good table with a smile. The menu was available in English. The wine list, which was also easy to navigate with QR codes, was also easy to understand. I asked for a wine recommendation, and they recommended a really good one. Both my wife and I were very satisfied, and my wife bought an extra bottle to take home.
2. The food is truly delicious. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar provided are exceptionally delicious compared to other restaurants. (This is the only restaurant where our family got bread twice.) The Parmesan cheese and prosciutto were paired with the famous balsamic glaze and honey, along with the recommended wine, which was fantastic. We ordered two seafood dishes, and they had the savory flavor we expect from seafood dishes. The cheese risotto was also incredibly balanced and easy on the palate, and our kids ate their plates clean. The Dolce was also excellent.
3. You'll feel like you're being treated with respect. The restaurant's atmosphere is elegant and classy, and they even chilled the bottles, allowing you to savor them to the end.
In conclusion, I think this is an excellent restaurant for the price.
