La Greppia is one of the most celebrated restaurants in Parma, with 40 years of successful cooking under its belt. Chef Paolo Cola offers his guests a large menu of traditional dishes with modern twists; try his beautiful artichokes in prosciutto sauce. Their dining room is old-fashioned yet refined, and the restaurant’s wine cellar is right below you while you dine.

The “La Greppia” restaurant, located right in the heart of the historic center of the city, is a rustic environment, but at the same time, soberly elegant, well-kept, and very welcoming where, amidst soft lights, it is possible to savor the tastes and aromas of the typical dishes of the culinary tradition as well as dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, between tradition and creativity. Among the specialties are the parmesan mousse with pears in wine, stuffed cabbage, Anolini, and braised veal tail. The homemade desserts are also excellent.

Close to the historical centre of the beautiful city of Parma, south of Milan, is a restaurant with a talented chef, a female kitchen team, an impressive cellar and an atmosphere of calm contentment. From the outside, it looks quite ordinary, but inside is a dining room which brings considerable pleasure to its guests. There is an element of homely rusticity to the décor of La Greppia: the long rectangular room has a beamed ceiling and tea cosies hang on the white walls.

It is undoubtedly advisable to book to dine in this historic venue, always very popular. The highlight of the offer is the Parmesan tradition, with the inevitable cured meats, "torta fritta," horse pesto with caramelized onions, followed by fresh pasta dishes with "tortelli di erbette" leading the way, culatello tagliolini, "Rosa di Parma" with Marsala sauce, and braised beef stew. Fish dishes, options for vegetarians and celiacs are also available.

Tucked beneath an apartment block in the heart of Parma sits Ristorante La Greppia. Unassuming in size — its narrow layout consists of 16 small tables — it has been a go-to for more than 40 years. Head chef Marco Aveta and his kitchen serve up seasonal dishes with a clever play on the region’s traditional flavours.

A long-standing favorite in Parma, this small 16-table gem serves seasonal dishes with an inventive twist on iconic regional recipes. Think pumpkin, chestnuts, and truffles stuffed into handmade pasta. This cozy trattoria is also the place to try Rosa di Parma—a beef fillet stuffed with prosciutto and parmigiano.

Inside, La Greppia reveals a small room that seats 8 – 12 tables, all with white tablecloths. The kitchen is easily visible because the wall separating the restaurant is made of glass. There you can see how professionals treat knives, kettles, pans and everything that comes with it.

The go-to spot for those looking for a gourmet take on Parma’s culinary treasures. Their exquisite Culatello di Zibello is nothing short of a culinary work of art, and their house risotto tastes like it’s whipped up by a grandma who loves you more than anything in the world.

Looking toward the window at one end of the simple dining room, across a sea of crisp linen, you’ll see into the kitchen and notice that the staff is entirely female. In the donnas’ hands you’ll be treated to exquisite dishes, some of which you’ve probably never encountered…

Small, low key and unpretentious, this is a Parmigiani favourite and invariably packed. Order the mind-blowingly good torta fritta (pillowy fried dough) with prosciutto to start, followed by any pasta — it’s all homemade. Really keen to go local?
