Inkiostro In Parma

Beautiful experience... Refined but not affected service, very beautiful decor for my taste and food at times touching for the goodness of the preparations and combinations.

I went with my partner for my birthday dinner, and it was excellent. The staff are young but very knowledgeable and make you feel at ease, unlike other Michelin-starred restaurants where the service has been too cold. We chose the six-course Ikigay menu, where Salvatore and his staff took us on a journey into the metaverse. Congratulations to everyone.

A fantastic evening, we were welcomed like royalty, the atmosphere is of a high standard like the venue, the service and the food, the prices are very fair and in line with the quality of the products and preparations, we had the 4-course menu which was really very, very good, it was a pleasure.

We visited Inkiostro last week, and the experience lived up to what you’d expect from a Michelin‑starred restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable: a spotless table, a perfectly comfortable room temperature (which is more of a luxury than one might think), and a warm, refined welcome. We chose the six‑course tasting menu paired with three wines each. Every dish was fresh and beautifully executed, with the raw Ricciola standing out as our favourite—an extraordinary balance of flavours and craftsmanship. The service deserves special praise as well: attentive, genuine, and perfectly calibrated. Luciano, in particular, impressed us with his charismatic, easygoing manner, adding a touch of humour and positive energy to the evening. The only slight drawback was the pacing. While the first courses arrived with good rhythm, the final two were spaced about 45 minutes apart, which felt a bit long. That said, Luciano graciously compensated with a lovely glass of Passito di Pantelleria, a thoughtful gesture we truly appreciated. Overall, we highly recommend Inkiostro. A team of real professionals delivering a memorable dining experience.

Fantastic experience: tasting menu and top wine pairing.

A simply unforgettable experience at the Inkiostro Restaurant in Parma! We chose the five-course Ikygai menu, an Asian-inspired experience that perfectly balances the creativity of chef Salvatore Morello and the incredible quality of the ingredients. Each dish was a constant surprise: elegant, meticulously crafted, and crafted with great technique. From the entrée to the dessert, each course was a small masterpiece, with interplays of textures and aromas reminiscent of Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, yet always with a profoundly Italian soul. We also chose the wine pairing, and I must say it was an extraordinary added value: the sommelier guided us with expertise and passion, suggesting wines that perfectly complemented the dishes—never boring, always surprising. Each wine told a story and brought out the best in the flavors of the menu. The dining room staff was impeccable: professional but never stiff, smiling, highly trained, and capable of making you feel completely at ease in a refined setting. Top-notch service, perfect timing, and constant attention without ever being intrusive. The setting is modern and elegant, with an atmosphere that exudes calm and harmony, perfect for enjoying a top-notch gastronomic experience. In short: an experience of taste and hospitality at the highest levels, where every detail is attended to with passion and expertise. A journey I recommend to anyone who loves signature cuisine and wants to experience an authentic experience, between Asia and Italy.

I went with a friend in search of new flavors and food and wine experiences. I found a welcoming atmosphere, despite not being particularly attractive from the outside (it looks like an industrial warehouse). The staff were kind and helpful, and professional enough. I'm not a fan of Asian flavors, but the Calabrian chef truly knew how to blend flavors, making them unique, delicate, and delicious. A wonderful experience that I recommend.

Michelin-starred restaurant. We opted for two €120 menus, two glasses of champagne, and two bottles of water. Total €300 for two. The atmosphere is very refined and modern. Downstairs, along with the bathrooms, is an intimate and exclusive private table in the middle of the cellar (it might be a bit chilly to eat here, though). The numerous courses were interspersed with expert explanations from the two waiters and the dining room staff. Each dish is a work of art and an explosion of flavor on the palate. There can be some issues, such as deliberately not providing cutlery at the beginning or bringing paltry breadsticks that resemble spaghetti No. 3 and small slices of bread. It's not a traditional restaurant, and the fear of not leaving full is palpable. Overall, despite a few shortcomings that the staff promptly addressed, we left feeling full. Personally, I won't be returning since I had a naval battle in my stomach that night, with flatulence and constant waking up. It's worth considering carefully before coming here...
