Ristorante La Greppia

Very hard to leave a score for this. We arrived late and could find a table only outdoors in a day that was not too warm and there was some rain. We probably didn't order the right thing for my taste. I personally found the "culaccia" to have a flavor too delicate. The "gnocco fritto" was less tasty than the one we had 2 days before. The wine was super and the dessert quite gratifying. Had we ordered a more traditional dinner I am fairly comfortable I would have enjoyed it much more as I could see other interesting plates around me. We probably got unlucky also with the service. The staff was not too warm and I felt like we ended up in the "tourist corner". When I stepped into the indoor area to visit the restroom I could breathe a completely different atmosphere and the same staff talked to me with a much warmer tone of voice. Probably an unlucky night. I would give it another chance should I be back in Parma.

Great meal in a cute space. Our friend needs gluten free pasta and it’s not so easy to find in Parma. This place had it. And it was really really good. I had lamb chops and they were delicious. Good service and nice wine.

We have been it Italy for 3 days. This is by far the best food we’ve had. We came for lunch and wish we could stay for dinner. Do not, do not skip this place. I’d give it 20 stars if I could.

Best meals in Italy so far including outstanding spaghettini with a mountain of truffle for just 18 euro and fantastic tagliatelle with fresh porcini. Perfect way to kickstart our visit to this beautiful and historic town. Highly highly recommend!

Stumbled across this restaurant on our first day in Parma. Saw a lot of locals coming out so we decided to make a reservation for the same night. Mind-blow at how good the food was. It was the best meal we have had on our trip. Don't skip their torta fritta and Parma ham/salumi. Their pasta is on another level. Finishing it off with a Panna Cotta con fragola (omg so good). Can get busy at night. Incredibly staff. Reasonable price.

I had a delicious lunch here! Everything was mouthwatering and I only wish I had more time in Parma to revisit and try more menu options! Highly recommend

We got the last table here without booking on a very busy night so suggest reserving might be helpful. It was outside right down a flat stairwell which might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we loved the atmosphere. The food was excellent especially the Parma ham, torta fritta and risotto. Waitress helped us pick up a lovely wine. The staff were really busy so wasn’t always super quick service but it was friendly.

Marco was excellent again. I love the cannelloni bean soup and the tortellini soup with broth. The eggplant Parmesan was outstanding. And the green salads were light and refreshing. An excellent bottle of wine completed wonderful evening. They have a great when you and excellent service.

Parma ham (36 month proscuitto) and the parmigiano regianno (30 month) with balsalmic were the stars of the meal. Imagine your ideal proscuitto--nutty, salty, dry, complex--and that was it. In comparison to the store-bought variety, this proscuitto had a more toothsome texture and subtle aftertaste. The cheese was delicious (coming from a person who usually dislikes cheese), and the balsalmic really brought out the dry, nutty, and floral notes. There was almost none of that sweet milk fat flavor characteristic of younger cheeses due to the aging time. The pasta: disappointingly bland; the meat was overcooked and underseasoned and the pasta tasted more like egg noodles than wheat pasta. It's sad to say that I've had better pasta in the States... Also, I usually don't say anything negative about service, but the waiters seemed very impatient and almost condescending with us? I don't know if it's just because of the language barrier (tbh I'd hate on tourists too lol)

Wonderful fresh made pastas. Nice decor with linen tablecloths, etc. Ambience is special occasion, but prices are very reasonable.

Service was amazing and so was food! Was in Parma for 3 nights and went to this restaurant each time. Highly recommend!

Sitting back in my home in the US still thinking about the fantastic food that i experienced here. I hope i have the pleasure of getting to revisit this restaurnt for some of the best Emilian food ive ever had

Lets be clear the food was good - so why only 2 stars? well if you pay 60€ for ok food in Italy, you are paying too much. The whole place was pretentious, from the way the waiters walked deliberately slow, to their posh/ upper class glances. it was not that we received bad service, its just that i see no need for the pretentious atmosphere, overly expensive water, and food. But if you are there for the "experience" and you are into that sort of stuff... go for it.

The rose of Parma is a game changer. It's beef- I think rolled with prosciutto and Parmesan and grilled and served on a bed of spinach. So delicious!!!

Overall an excellent meal with good flavors and presentation for a little more upscale evening out. The service was a little interesting hence down one notch. Seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. Four of us started out with antipasto selections of Parma ham and parmigiano reggiano. Both were excellent with tender, non-fatty meat and tasty cheese with a drizzle of quality balsamic. The bottle of local lambrusco (€14) was a nice complement. I think we threw the waiter off a little when we indicated we were sharing the rest of the dishes as he muttered something and it took quite a while to get the rest of our dinner when many other plates went by on a regular basis. Our tortellini with nettles, broad beans, kale and pesto was tasty but pretty lukewarm as our friend's tagliolini pasta came out steaming hot. Confit Pork filet with pecan sauce and crispy celery was fantastic flavor and very tender so a good choice. Other entree of stuffed veal with roasted potatoes was very good also. They served us a small platter of complimentary dessert treats which was a nice touch! One interesting twist was when we went to pay we got a receipt and thought that was our credit card receipt but the cashier got a little upset as was expecting us to write down our tip, on top of the €2.50 each pane e coperto charge each. Seemed a little strong arm but overall it did not detract too much from a decent evening. Came to €52 a couple including the wine but only one appetizer, one primi and one second course per couple.

I still remember their antipasti very well. Culatello di Zibello from November 2012 that would make you feel that your life is complete. Obviously, this place is for fancy pants - with our dinner bill rounding up to almost 70 euro for two, but the meal was totally worth it. We had the said culatello for antipasti and I got tagliatelle with prosciutto and artichoke while my friend got tagliatelle with mullet bottarga. The food was delicious. I didn't have any complaint at all. Service was excellent and they made sure that we had great dining experience and was very welcoming to us who were obviously tourists in Parma. Overall a great place to dine, a little bit on the expensive side, but totally worth the meal

Great ambiance, food and servers. We were close enough to watch the chef and sous chefs prepare the food. They had menus in English. We chose the meat and cheese anti pasta, a variety of 1st course and second course options. Two of us chose a dessert. All of our food was excellent. Our server recommended a red wine which completed our food would definitely recommend

Great, delicious, imaginative, food with strong local flavors, top-of-the line friendly service, with an excellent choice of wine and liquors, all at very reasonable prices. Most everything we ate stood out: a ricotta and pistachio amuse bouche, hearty toasted pancetta & cheese bites with delicate grilled asparagus spears on top; a goat cheese flan with Swiss chard in a goat cheese soup, ravioli filled with the local pumpkin and amoretti, Guinea hen stuffed with reconstituted dried plums in sauce, and a Babá with a mint and rum sauce... Our waiter gave us a wonderful Lambrusco, and matched a light local red wine perfectly with our later courses. Great choices in desert wines and after dinner drinks.
