Description

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.

Review summary

Meltemi in Parma specializes in seafood, holding a 4.3/5 rating. Reviews consistently praise the freshness of raw materials and high culinary standards, particularly for raw fish and elegant presentations. However, criticisms focus on service and ambiance. Several diners noted a lack of staff warmth and knowledge, alongside cramped seating that compromises comfort. Some reviews indicate inconsistent kitchen output recently, with discrepancies between menu descriptions and actual dishes. While the food quality remains generally high, issues with service attentiveness and spatial crowding detract from the overall experience, making it a mixed choice depending on priorities.
