Gastronomy

Parma taste — UNESCO gastronomy & Michelin tables

Parma is a global benchmark for quality food: protected Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, culatello from the Bassa, egg pasta (tortelli, anolini), porcini from the Apennines, wines from the hills, and a dense network of trattorias and delis along porticoed streets. Named a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, the province blends farmers, affineurs and chefs who export a culture of flavour worldwide. From Rep84 on Strada della Repubblica you can walk the historic centre for aperitivo and shopping, then explore the Food Valley by car or train — including the Michelin-starred tables listed below (Parma city and Polesine Parmense in the province). Always confirm awards and opening hours on the official Michelin Guide before you book.
