Agriturismo Argaland

Just a few kilometres from the city, already enveloped in the tranquillity of the Parma countryside, this trattoria embodies to perfection the spirit of local cooking: a simple yet warm atmosphere, a homey welcome, and dishes that speak of the territory with forthright honesty. The menu revolves around the specialities of Parma, prepared with quality produce and a homely touch that wins one over from the very first mouthful.

A contemporary trattoria where you can enjoy some of the region’s delicious specialities, all of which are faithfully reproduced with maybe just a hint of modern flavour – this is one of the most interesting restaurants in central Parma! We particularly enjoyed the bomba di riso (stuffed rice pie) with pigeon ragù, as well as the fresh pastas and the roast meat stuffed with roast potatoes.

Calabrian chef Salvatore Morello brings a breath of fresh air to the city synonymous with gastronomy. Drawing on an international background, he presents a cuisine that weaves together recipes and ingredients from diverse culinary worlds, united by finesse, personality, and a striking cohesion. Exceptional raw materials, occasionally accented by exotic notes, find precise balance in every course. Special mention goes to the bread program: the loaf, crafted from sourdough and minimally refined flours and baked in a cast-iron pot, captivates with its pronounced crust and unexpected lightness.

This restaurant adjoining the Daniel hotel is the town’s pride and joy. Here, two quiet, rustic-style dining rooms provide the backdrop for typical Parma specialities that change with the passing seasons – the “tortelli alle erbette” (tortelli pasta with herbs) with parmesan and melted butter is particularly delicious – all accompanied by an excellent choice of wines. Booking in advance is highly recommended as the restaurant is extremely popular with visitors and locals alike.

One of the most celebrated venues in the province, this restaurant set in a tranquil country hamlet just outside the city requires reservations well in advance. The cuisine is firmly rooted in the land, yet never shies from a creative impulse, which emerges in both flavor and contemporary plating. Among the more contemporary offerings, the tender Apennine gray rabbit stands out: presented as an elegant terrine, accompanied by olive crumble, potato millefeuille, and peppers. A harmonious, delightful dish!

Here, where the Parma river once broke its banks, you’ll find an attractive trattoria with pleasant dining rooms and excellent cuisine cooked over a wood and herb fire, one of the oldest culinary techniques in the world. The main courses feature meat only, with an extensive number of dishes on the menu. Among the home-made desserts, we recommend the fior di latte ice-cream, which is served with a choice of delicious sauces.

This small restaurant boasts an enviable location on a small square, with an outdoor terrace which is perfect for summer evenings. Here, the talented chef focuses on fish in all its guises, including raw options and tartares, all served with delicious accompaniments that bring out the full flavour of the fish. Homemade pasta also features, such as pappardelle with raw and cooked prawns, as well as burrata, plus main courses that include a superb, delicate mullet dish. A choice of excellent Italian sparkling wines and champagnes, also available by the glass, completes the picture.
