Ristorante Cocchi - Trattoria Tipica Parma

"One of Parma's most well-respected restaurants for many decades. Cocchi is a bit off-the-beaten-path for most, but very worth a visit for a more formal dinner out and an authentic Parma experience. I recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the beautiful "green lung" that is Parco Ducale, the "Duke's Park", on the way over, and then either taxi or walk again on the way back. Recommended dishes: - Parma ham with fried dough - anolini (stuffed pasta with meat and parmesan cheese) with cherry tomatoes, basil and parmesan cheese - savoury pie with eggplant, tomato, mozzarella, basil and parmesan cheese - baked green lasagna - stuffed veal breast with roast potatoes and bell peppers - almond semifreddo. "

"Cocchi is my absolute favorite restaurant in downtown. Here, you'll savor the authentic essence of Parma, as every dish is crafted with the finest ingredients in an elegant setting. The "carrello dei bolliti" is an absolute must-try, especially during the winter season. And if you happen to visit in the summer, don't miss out on the delightful tortelli estivi. Trust me, you're in for a culinary treat you won't soon forget!"

"Open since 1925, this is a true institution in Parma. If you want to try local and traditional dishes from the Parma area, this is the place. The menu includes some of the best cold cuts from local farms, gnocchi fritti, stuffed tortelli, agnolotti and much more. Save a spot for their home made zabaione with amaretti cookies "
