For quick and inexpensive meals in Parma, I recommend the following places:
1.Pepèn-Pepèn sells paninis (sandwiches) to a standing-room-only audience of locals looking for affordable, filling cuisine.
2.Cantina della Salute-The family-run Cantina Della Salute, serves a variety of local lunch delicacies such as pasta, soup, and paninis.
3.Parma Gelato-Cremeria Gioelia attracts a large number of ice cream aficionados (formerly known as Emilia Cremeria).
For detailed info you can go through this link:https://wirepicker.com/best-parma-restaurants-cafes-and-bars/ Some of the other places i suggest are,
1.Ristorante Cocchi-Cocchi Restaurant is a traditional Parma Bistro.Located on the ‘other side of the Parma River in the Hotel Daniel.
As i can remember , there are nine different types of cured pork starters in this restaurant. When choosing classic classic Proscuitto, Culeto, or Strolgino, I suggest you to choose ordinary Culeto meat. I also recommend that you add a piece of Parmigiano Reggiano and a plate of gnocchi frito to salumi, a pillow shaped Emilian fried bread that can be found in most Parma restaurants.
2.Trattoria Ai Due Platani
3.Angiol d’Or-its strategic location is next to the huge medieval Parma cathedral. The food is delicious, the service is considerate and efficient.
You can check on the following
Angoil d'or where regional cuisine is popular
La Greppia a 40 year old hotel where prosciutto sauce is yum
Osteria del Gesso for Patmesan cheese
Trattoria corrieri in country style ambience
Ristorante La Forchetta for tortellini dishes. Parma is a north Italian city filled with abundant music, art and architecture. Exsisting from Bronze era, it is also called as Food Vallev.
I was in Parma two years ago. Amazing city, very authentic. I visited many places to eat and chose them at random. And I can say that not once was it bad. So I made a conclusion that all restaurants in Parma are high class, with good food and good service.
