Osteria Virgilio In Parma

Excellent osteria, quality and refined food, select wines. Fair prices for the quality and quantity served. Welcoming and friendly host. You can tell there's love and passion in this place! Congratulations! I'll definitely be back!

A pleasant bistro near the university, convenient for lunch. The staff are always very friendly and explain the dishes. The tortelli are delicious, perhaps a little too greasy with butter. But they're very tasty. The horse meat is a specialty: a fresh and light dish. The place is small and intimate, very casual but nice for lunch. The seating is a bit uncomfortable.

I'm not giving it five stars for the bill, which I think is a bit above average for this type of restaurant, especially compared to other local establishments I've tried. However, I have no complaints about the quality of the ingredients or the preparation of the dishes. Everything was excellent (I returned the dishes as good as new). The service was among the fastest I've encountered so far. I sat down at 2:00 PM and was paying the bill at 2:30 PM. The staff was diligent and friendly. The only thing that was a little off was the final bill (see attached).

Warmly recommand eating here when in Parma. We had an amazing family dinner at Osteria Virgilio on the terrace in a lovely street. The pasta dishes were amazing and the main dishes were just as good. The wine list is perfect and the personnel was top notch. We would definitely come back!

We are here both nights in Parma. The first night was so delicious, that we couldn’t risk a meal not living up to this. We started with the 30 month Parma which was melt in mouth amazing. For mains, I got the ravioli with ricotta and spinach. The Parmesan cheese on top was outstanding. Hubby had the meatballs, which were so good- I got the next night. The service was amazing, we don’t speak great Italian and the owner not great English but he gave us wine tastings and put so much effort into us understanding the menu and specials as well as pairing the cheeses to the wines of the region. Was a wonderful experience.

Anolini and panzanella are super. 🫶🫶🫶A typical, non-touristy place to experience local life, starting with the taste. Come here! The waitress is super kind, sweet, knowledgeable, polite, and fast. I recommend booking if you want to sit outside, especially if you want a smile from the owner. I'd go back with my eyes closed ❤️

We had a delicious selection of cured meats and two amazing dishes of the day: cod and bread salad. Surprising, full of taste and freshness.

Little gem not too far from the city centre. The pasta was delicious, the sharing boards were great especially the Parma ham. We forgot our umbrella there and the staff went out of their way and cycled to find us after we have left. Amazing service!

This place in Parma is truly perfect for dining and enjoying Italian life: - Location: Lively, multicultural neighborhood with lots of charm. Located in a small, cozy alley. - Food: Small but excellent menu with an additional daily special. Very good selection of vegetarian dishes. The ragu was excellent! - Service (!!!): The best and most friendly service you can imagine. They hand-translated the daily special into English especially for us and took the time to explain various Vino Bianco Frizzante in detail. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! If we're ever in Parma again, we'll be happy to come back!
