Hotel Versailles

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.

A temple for the production of culatello ham, which features in the dishes served and is also matured on the premises for 16, 26 and 38 months (the maturing rooms are well worth a visit), Al Vedel also serves other regional specialities, as well as more imaginative fare. The menu features dishes such as gran lesso(boiled beef and chicken), delicious Bourguignon-style snails, tortel dols (tortelli pasta with a hint of sweetness), and specialities enhanced by the addition of Parmesan cheese and red butter. The wine list, which will delight Lambrusco enthusiasts, boasts a selection of French wine

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.

Regionally based cuisine with the occasional hint of creativity and a good choice of à la carte dishes are the highlights at this friendly restaurant on the outskirts of Parma. An authentic, genuine welcome, with an attractive lounge near the entrance and the warm ambience of a private home.

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!

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.

This delightful, long-established family trattoria, in business for over a century, has the motto “Chi mangium nustran” (“here we eat local”) in a demonstration of its commitment to cuisine from the Lower Po valley, although other Italian dishes also feature on the menu. At midday, choose from a selection of simple, delicious and reasonably priced homemade dishes, while in the evening just one single tasting menu, concluding with the dessert trolley, is served.
