I migliori ristorantinella città Sissa della Parma

15/02/2026: A simple place to eat very good typical dishes

15/02/2026: We returned to Osteria del Calderone for the second time, and once again the experience was simply fantastic. The first time, we came on the recommendation of friends from Parma: we're from Cremona and had set out with one goal in mind: torta fritta. We discovered not only an exceptional torta fritta, accompanied by top-quality cured meats, but also the "Sgonfiett," a real surprise: the one with fontina and cooked shoulder ham and the one with gorgonzola are truly special. The portions are so generous that we couldn't even finish them all, and when we took home what was left, we discovered that, even the next day, reheated in the oven, it was still delicious—and that's not a given. This second time, we returned for our Valentine's Day lunch, just my partner Matteo and I, and we finally got to try other dishes that we'd only overlooked the previous time. The pumpkin tortelli were superb, and the herb tortelli were delicate and truly well-made. Then two cuts of beef: venison and Angus, both excellent, accompanied by baked potatoes and mixed salad. The wine was also excellent: we chose a Chianti with a truly rare quality-price ratio, especially considering how much you eat and the satisfaction you leave with. We're almost disappointed we don't have photos to share, but the truth is that once the dishes arrive, the thought of taking photos doesn't even occur: the focus is entirely on the quality of the food and the pleasure of eating it. A special thanks to Giorgia, always present, kind, and elegant in her service; to Valentina, who knows how to put guests at ease with naturalness and professionalism; and to Filippo, for the atmosphere that reigns here. An osteria we gladly return to, and will return to again.
