Artusi La Salsamenteria — Restaurant in Parma

This is a wonderful restaurant to try local and national delicacies. We stumbled by one evening, and stopped for dinner, and it was fantastic. We had the “Il Ducato” - a wonderful person at to taste a variety of cold sliced meats, the Parma Tortelli With Greens and Ricotta - a solid traditional local choice, and the Parma Cappelletti With Beef Stew in Capon Broth - which was absolutely amazing, if somewhat a mistranslation I believe, don’t expect beef stew as you might in America or England - they were small, beef filled pasta shapes floating in a soup, and they were delicious - like I could eat them every day.

The other very exciting part about this restaurant is that they have a number of vertical and horizontal tastings of cheese, which is a great way to see the difference between cow breed milk varieties or the differences that aging can play on a cheese. Additionally they offer a wide variety of sliced meats and a pasta menu that appears to be seasonal which is offered in half and full portions so you can taste your way through the entire menu!

The only drawback was that they didn’t have many choices on the menu, and something that we wanted to order wasn’t available. But other than that, we had...

All chesses and cold cuts were very good BUT as we requested the bill we noted that we were charged an extra €6 for requesting one of the chesses from the chesse platter to be servered in a different plate. When we asked why were we charged extra the manager replied back that we were served a bigger than usual portion. This we never asked for and nor were we advised beforehand of the extra charge! But to top it off it's the way we got the reply back by the manager. A very cold and stubborn answer! Sorry your customer service is much to be desired. Definitely I'll be choosing other resturants for the rest of...
