Officina Alimentare Dedicata Parma

This is an interesting take on traditional Parma cuisine. The restaurant has trendy, modern vibes, however my meal was ruined by a very, very rude waitress. She was very short with us and acted like she couldn’t understand a thing all members of my dining party were saying when one speaks fluent Italian. I would not recommend this restaurant because the food is just ok - there is much better in Parma - and the service was god awful. It is also kind of expensive for what it is.

Undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Parma. Portions are not gigantic, but flavours are definitely something else: we tried the Parmigiano cheese selection, the aniolini in hen broth and the buffalo tartare. Everything was very good, genuine and rich. Only one little flaw, justifying the 4 out of 5 stars: we would have appreciated a slightly warmer treatment in the true Parmesan tradition. Personnel was not rude, but not making us feel greatly welcome or helping much either.

Great food. Good service. We didn't book the table but they worked it out for us to have lunch there. The food is very fantastic. Hidden gems of Parma.

I can highly recommend this place to try national Parma chesses and meats. They also have a good selection of local beers which makes the experience authentic and warm. You can have a small snack hear or go all in for a bigger meal.

Nice place to eat some italian food. We had the local meat and cheese platter, this did not disappoint. Really good

We dined here in the evening. Although we had no reservations and the restaurant was crowded, the staff accommodated us at a nice outdoor table. We had a prosciutto appetizer, I had a special pork belly and my wife had the sliced beef filet. The wine selection was marvelous. Although the restaurant was very busy, the staff were very attentive and very kind. A great meal.

Excellent lunch experience with selection of local cheese and meat followed by quite a large portion of fillet beef. Nice Sicilian red wine to compliment the feast. The ladies at the restaurant seem passionate about their restaurant which is apparent in the quality of the dishes. Place is popular and packed. Understandibly the lunch service in these circumstances can not be as relaxed and attentive as perhaps during dinner. However the service was still professional and corteous. Do make a reservation in advance.

After some research, OAD ended up on our list for our only meal in Parma, and it was chosen in the end. We are so happy that it was. We made a reservation upon recommendation of our BnB hostess. We had a lovely table outside for the 6 of us (3 adults/3kids). It was a Sunday and we are thankful that they were open, though the neighborhood was notably slower than the previous day. We had the Cured Meat selection, Cicciolata, Giardiniera, Guanciale on Polenta Cakes, Torta Fritta, Anolini in Brodo, Kids' Tagliolini with Olive Oil, Gnocchi with 3 Tomatoes, and Carne Salada. To drink we had a Craft Cream Ale and a Lambrusco bottle. All the cured meats were wonderfully curated and delicious, especially the Cicciolata! The Torta Fritta was a hit with everyone when eating the Salumi. I had the Anolini and have to say it was one of the most memorable things I have eaten on this trip, rich, simple and perfectly executed, also filling. After our Espresso I asked for a digestif and I was given an incredible local drink, fruity and intense, but I couldn't understand the name 🤪 Thank you ladies for an incredible experience 🙏🏻

Visited on a very hot day. The food was very good. I appreciated the server splitting the tortellini en brodo in 4 for each sharing and coming up with two Lambrusco to try by the glass.
