Menozzi In Parma

Just minutes from the Parma highway exit, an oasis of traditional products, old-fashioned cuisine, and a genuine, increasingly rare welcome. Our new must-visit when passing through Emilia.

On a day trip from the Marche region to Switzerland, we arrived for lunch, the kitchen already closed (2:20 PM), five of us, without a reservation. Another restaurant would have turned us away, but at Trattoria Menozzi, the welcome is like home. We ate wonderfully, using local produce, served promptly, and, above all, with a kindness that is now rare.

Excellent restaurant with still "human" prices and excellent service.

I'd like to start by thanking the waitresses, especially Jenni (I think I understand that's her name), who was super quick, but always smiling, attentive, and kind. Really good. Well, not one, to be honest, but I'll say nothing more than that you can't see her that sweaty, maybe a little more friendliness. The food is good; don't expect super sophisticated dishes, but quality and tradition are there. Recommended

The ladies serving were excellent, fast and attentive. The food is excellent. Thanks, Menozzi.

Thank you very much. Very nice staff. We had forgotten something and they sent it to our next hotel. 👌🏼❤️

An absolutely positive experience, both in terms of food and hospitality. Typical Parma dishes, with special mention for the pickled vegetables (marinated in oil), herb tortelli (made exclusively in-house), and cured meats. Despite the fact that we were a group of 39 on a day trip and had limited time, having to reach other destinations, we were served promptly. A traditional place where substance prevails over appearance. And what substance!

I went for lunch yesterday with the Enocuriosi group, and was impressed by the service. The girls were efficient and kind despite the crowds. And what can I say about the homemade giardiniera, or the tortelli and tagliatelle with prosciutto? Everything is definitely worth a try. If you stop by, you won't regret it, thanks to all the staff. See you soon!

Excellent trattoria, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. The food is very good, and they offer a €15 set menu. Recommended for lunch.

The place is renowned in Parma as the quintessential trucker's trattoria. In reality, there are many workers inside, but also many office workers. The place is definitely no-frills and in keeping with the tradition of fixed-menu places. The room is single, quite large, and quite crowded and noisy. The tables are very close together but of normal size, and the table settings are made of restaurant-quality fabric. The staff is very friendly. The girls know their job and are very fast. They understand that people are short on time. The menu is both fixed and à la carte. The fixed menu includes 3-4 first courses, 2-3 second courses, a side dish, water, wine, and coffee for 15 euros. The bread is brought in abundance and is good, seemingly fresh. The first course is pasta with ragu (rigatoni), with little sauce and flavor. The cheese saves the day a bit, but it's certainly not a memorable dish. The second courses are rather meager, including grilled sausage. I opted for a cheese plate with honey. Decent, to be fair, but certainly not memorable either. In the end, was I disappointed? No. Nothing negative. Would I go back? Maybe not; there are other places where you can eat better for the same price.
