Ristorante Operaviva In Parma

A slightly retro restaurant, but partially renovated... the owner is very kind and original. The food is truly excellent and beautifully presented. If you're in the area, don't miss it.

Excellent dishes, delicious, plentiful, and beautiful to look at. My partner and I each had an appetizer, a first course, and a dessert, and yet everything was extremely light. We never felt heavy, just satiated and satisfied by the deliciousness. The staff is kind and attentive; compliments to everyone! The atmosphere is relaxing, and the soft lighting at each table creates a welcoming and private atmosphere, as if each table were its own restaurant. We hope to return and try other dishes. Thank you again for everything.

A refined restaurant with a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The appetizers are of high-quality cured meats, the meat is incredibly tender, and the homemade desserts are excellent. Compliments to the chef and the service is attentive and courteous. Excellent value with a 'The Fork' discount, and overall prices are in line with the quality of the offerings. Highly recommended!

Very nice place, very welcoming staff. EXCELLENT food! We'll definitely be back! I highly recommend it!

Excellent food and precise service, I frequent regularly

Everything was excellent: the platter, risotto, and dessert. Good house Chianti wine. A place to definitely return to.

Excellent, well-kept venue, tasteful works of art. Wonderful, refined dishes, excellent service. Highly recommended!!!

We ate wonderfully 😊 We had appetizers (Fassona beef tartare and Parmesan flan) and first courses (all three delicious), followed by a wonderful apple pie, mouth-watering. Thank you. Next time we're in Parma, we'll definitely be back. P.S. We saw they're also doing a New Year's Eve menu... if you're not sure where you're going, think about it.

We stopped in for dinner taking advantage of a deal on TheFork. Excellent choice!!! The place is truly beautiful, in my opinion, and the food was excellent! A "limited" menu, but with a thoughtful and carefully chosen selection (a choice I really appreciate). We opted for traditional Parma dishes: a slice of cured meats (delicious and high-quality, even plentiful), pumpkin and herb tortelli (excellent), and pork cheek on fried polenta (a butter dish). Dessert could have been better, but it didn't significantly impact the overall rating. The service was courteous and attentive. The price, including TheFork's discount, was truly reasonable (otherwise, a full plate would have been a bit too much; a middle ground should be found). It's definitely worth a try!!!

I was happy with everything. The owners were kind and attentive, the food was delicious, and the prices were fair. I'll be back.
