Tra L'Uss e L'Asa In Parma

07/07/2026: Location: Just off the Fidenza exit is this recently renovated restaurant, reminiscent of an old farmhouse. Cured meats and cheeses, including Parmesan, take center stage, displayed prominently on the counters, everything neatly organized and presented in an original way. The concept of a restaurant where you can sample dishes made with the cured meats for sale is fantastic. There's also ample parking. Food: I ate there for lunch, specifically a focaccia with prosciutto and stracciatella and a culatello sandwich. Both were phenomenal, and both were very generous in size. There's also a wide selection of platters, including traditional Emilian first courses and second courses like grilled meats. Service: The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Customers feel cared for, and wait times are minimal, despite the large number of customers. Bill: Fair prices for the high quality offered. All the products on sale are premium. The stuffed focaccia cost €8.50, and the culatello sandwich €9.

06/07/2026: Excellent raw materials. Table service is nonexistent: not because there's a shortage, but because it's not provided. Choose from the menu, pay at the counter, and collect your reservation tag. When your dish is ready, the tag rings, you collect it from the kitchen, and sit down to eat at an open table. Once you're finished, you take your tray to the dedicated cart. In addition to dining on-site, you can purchase all traditional Emilian products: from internationally renowned cured meats (salame di Felino, Parma ham, DOP cooked ham, mortadella, etc.) to cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano of all ages and weights available); from anolini alla fidentina to Emilian tortellini. The prices are a bit above average, perhaps justified by the care and quality of the products.
