Ospitalita' Rurale Casa Cani

Chef Giacomo Devoto from Sarzana has transformed an old 17th-century farmhouse, surrounded by greenery, into a charming inn complete with rooms and a working farm, where tranquillity and hospitality reign. On the bright panoramic veranda, where the gaze reaches as far as the coast and the sea, guests can savour his creations devoted to the most authentic flavours of Lunigiana. The recipes, imaginative yet firmly rooted in the seasons, rest on the fragrance of the ingredients: vegetables – like the extra virgin olive oil – come largely from his extensive kitchen garden, while proteins are selec

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.

At the edge of the city, just off the ring road, this quintessential trattoria features spacious dining rooms where a familial, informal atmosphere prevails, while from the kitchen arrive the pillars of Parmesan tradition, executed at an excellent level: flavorful dishes crafted from predominantly local products. Among the unmissable offerings, the anolini in capon broth, savory and satisfying, as well as the pork cheeks in lemon cremolade with cream of garbanzo beans.

Situated in the beautiful countryside outside Cerreto Guidi, Villa Petriolo is a magnificent Medici residence offering luxurious rooms in a setting of outstanding charm. In addition to the beauty of the villa and its garden, overlooked by the restaurant’s terrace, the location benefits from the property’s delicious home-produced ingredients, such as extra-virgin olive oil, wine, Cinta Senese pork, meat and chicken, produce from the kitchen garden and ancient grains. The kitchen reinterprets these rich ingredients with a modern twist, offering two tasting menus — one of which for vegetarians —

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!
