Trattoria La Buca di Zibello In Zibello

It's always a pleasure to return to this trattoria in the Parma countryside, which never fails to uphold its historic tradition. And the traditional dishes are a strong point, thanks to the quality of the ingredients and their preparation: cured meats (the shoulder cooked with mustard is a must), traditional tortelli, but also meats like roasted pork shoulder, and snails à la bourgogne. Finally, the homemade desserts are always delicious. The service is friendly and professional. In short, it's an experience definitely worth the trip.

"Trattoria" isn't the best description for this place, especially considering the prices. The restaurant is quite expensive for the quality and quantity of food served, from appetizers to desserts, and also for its location. The staff is very friendly, however, and the place is welcoming and well-maintained.

Review of the trattoria, not the inn. The atmosphere is "vintage" in the best sense of the word, like sitting at your grandmother's house, with several rooms used as dining rooms. The welcome was pleasant, as were the staff. Overall, it was a positive experience, with the hostess being cheerful and offering advice (we had a lactose-intolerant person at our table). The appetizers were good (salami, the ever-present culatello, and giardiniera), but the portions of the latter were a bit limited. I only rated the tagliatelle among the first courses positively, as we all ordered them. Honorable mention goes to the tripe and the stewed tongue. The dessert trolley is a must-see. I'm only missing the top marks for the prices, which, while justified by the quality of the ingredients, seemed a bit high... let's say 4.5 stars.

Prices too high, small portions, decent food, 156 euros for 2 starters, 2 first courses, 2 desserts, a bottle of Franciacorta, water, coffee, it seems excessive to me, I won't be back again

We stopped for a taste of culatello... excellent, and then we tried something else, delicious, warm welcome, thank you very much

Excellent trattoria serving typical local dishes Welcoming and well-maintained restaurant Very helpful and friendly staff Prices are a bit above average
