About
La Forchetta restaurant is situated in the heart of the old town centre of Parma, in one of the most beautiful and oldest buildings in the city, just a few steps from the Duomo and the Battistero. It is family-run and offers the finest of Parmesan cuisine as well as fish dishes, accompanied by the best wines. Tortelli stuffed with spinach and pumpkin, duchessa di Parma, braised veal cheeks, fish crudité, scallops in a salt and pepper crust, lobster tagliolini, tuna steaks and Catalan salad, are just a sample of the variety of our menu. Our bread and pasta are all home-made in the old-fashioned way and we are particularly careful in our choice of ingredients. It is also possible to eat outside.…

Perfect evening

We booked a table outside on a beautiful warm June evening ,the tables are quite small and there is not a lot of space between the tables, however that is the only slightly negative point. We had a very attentive waiter, who recommended a fabulous...More

Great food

While food in Italy is almost always good, this restaurant was great. Good service, amazing food and creative desserts. They serve local favorites and Italian standards. We will definitely return when we are in Parma.

Delicious food and good service

We ate here two times. Yot get delicious food with some nice concepts (f.e. they serve parma cheese with an aceto balsamico crema and honey). Sea fruits were very good. Many guests eat the "sauté", a plastic bag with sea fruits, kind of vacuum steamed...More
