Gallo D’oro

Que rico todo en el Gallo D’Oro.
He disfrutado varias veces aquí de una buena comida tradicional italiana.
I tortelli di zucca en otoño son una delicia. Vas a poder pedir una gran variedad de platos de la cocina típicamente italiana. No es una pizzería, es un ristorante típico en pleno centro de la ciudad y a 2 minutos de la céntrica Piazza Garibaldi.
Si estás paseando por via Farini y sientes el gusanillo acércate a comer al Gallo D’Oro donde vas a disfrutar de un trato directo y familiar.

Gallo D’Oro is an upscale restaurant in old town Parma, with a very nice atmosphere and a good, if somewhat pricey menu. It was quite crowded, but we managed to snag what seemed to be the only table in the enclosed front patio. The patio is most likely open when the temperature warms up, but that wasn’t the case on this chilly night.
Because we were in the patio area, décor was kind of plain, but up half a flight of stairs is the main dining room, and it’s a warm and inviting old-​world beauty.
Unfortunately for us (but good for our wallet), we’d had drinks at a bar in the main plaza not long earlier, and drinks in this part of Italy come with half a meal! I don’t know how the Italians eat all that delicious snack food and then go out to eat a full dinner. So we weren’t all that hungry. But staying in a hotel means you don’t get to eat until the next morning, so we didn’t go whole hog.
We shared an appetizer of Giant Pumpkin Ravioli. I thought it was going to be a zucchini filling because, at least in Spanish, it’s the same word for pumpkin and zucchini; but no, it had real pumpkin filling and was covered with a delicious and very rich sauce. It was definitely home-​made pasta, and wonderful. «Filling» was the key word, because by the time we finished it, we were almost too full to enjoy the two glasses of Frizzante wine and the sauteed spinach and zucchini that we’d ordered along with it. But we managed, because that, too, was delicious.
We had a great time with the food and during the very long conversation we had with the two young Italian ladies seated next to us, and regret that we couldn’t get to try some of their main courses.
Note: the patio area is handicapped-​accessible. Just make sure you don’t have to use the bathroom!

This my favorite italian restaurant in Parma. In the middle of the old town, great atmosphere, you can seat outside in the patio and inside in the different floors. The have great apetizers, Parma ham of course, but as well wonderful bruschetta’s. Regarding the pasta they have very good home made filled pastas.
I look forward to go back.

This restaurant is fantastic. The pasta dishes taste amazing. There is raw horse and roast horse on the menu if you feel adventurous. Definitely worth a visit.
