Ristorante Operaviva In Parma

A small gem in the Parma Oltretorrente area, where tradition and modernity meet, become acquainted, and decide to forge a fruitful relationship. Every detail is meticulously cared for: from the colorful entrance where you're welcomed and escorted to your table by the exquisite courtesy of the host, to the warm, small dining room whose only remaining tradition is the white cotton napkin, where you sit in comfortable armchairs and are served and pampered by a refined and smiling lady (despite it being the second shift on a busy Saturday night), to the tidy and impeccable restroom. They had already won us over here. Then, suddenly, you're hit like a blow in the face by the seafood aroma of the spaghetti with butter and caviar (I'm simplifying, I'll post a photo of the menu), and that's how you understand that the name of this little restaurant isn't just a sign but a true Opera Viva. A dinner for two, but suitable for everyone. Two courses each + water, wine, coffee, and one dessert (shared out of greed because we were already full given the reasonable size of the dishes. Finally.) Open kitchen. We'll definitely be back with a couple of couples to try it out.

High-quality local cuisine, expert advice, and excellent wine recommendations. The food was delicious; it was a wonderful evening. Thank you!

I had dinner at this restaurant this evening. The atmosphere was friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was punctual and of excellent quality. I highly recommend it to everyone and will definitely be back soon.

Lovely meal at Operviva The owner was very kind about our lack of Italian and explained the menu to us. The interior is great, lots of art on the walls and delicious food. They were also super helpful in cooking something special for my super fussy daughter ( pasta with Parmesan) Altogether a good recommendation in a slightly off the beaten track location

My girlfriend and I found out about this restaurant through TheFork and we were more than satisfied. Quiet environment, we didn't encounter any problems or annoyances. Very good dishes and as a final treat a splendid dessert. I highly recommend it.
