26/10/2025: 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.
22/10/2025: 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!
