Quintaesencia — Restaurant in Parma

We kinda came here on a whim. We have driven by here a few times, and it never seemed too busy. So today we took a chance and we were glad we did.

Andrea, our server, also happens to be the manager. She gave us an overview of this nice little Latin fusion restaurant.

They have a lot of different fish, poultry, meat, or vegetarian Tapas. There are choices of mussels in creamy white sauce, mussels in spicy red sauce, beef stroganoff with rice, or pork loin in a passion fruit sauce and many more.

Today, I settled on the beef stroganoff, and my wife got the mussels in the creamy white sauce. We also got 2 margherita's on the rocks. I have had beef stroganoff many times with noodles, but I never had it with rice. This was a nice change. The beef stroganoff was very tender, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

The mussels were very tender, and the broth was creamy, smooth, and full of flavor. It came with 2 pieces of bread. You really need more bread to sop up all of that goodness.

The tapas didn't come with a salad or any other sides, so we also ordered a side of mixed vegetables that were not soggy or hard, just cooked to perfection. There was enough for both of us to share.

We don't usually get dessert, but Andrea talked us into the Carlota de Limon, which we shared. This was a dish layered with lemon cream, crumbles, lemon cream, crumbled, and then topped with fresh whipped cream. This was not a crazy sweet or even a sour dessert. It had the right mix of sweetness without a ton of pucker power.

We can't wait to come back to try something else. If you are in the mood for something different, this is...

Amazing Experience!

We needed a place for my birthday dinner and wanted to try something new. I’m so happy we chose this restaurant!

Our party of eight was seated promptly. The food was incredible, with flavors blending perfectly in each dish. The beautiful photos of the perfectly plated dishes don’t do justice to the flavor explosion you’ll experience.

I felt like I was dining at a Michelin 5-star restaurant, right in the heart of Parma, Ohio.

My guests enjoyed sharing the various dishes, and every single one was wonderful.

The ladies who own this restaurant were kind and accommodating, providing impeccable service.

The coffee drinks, including espresso and lattes, were some of the best I’ve ever had. The cocktails were strong and delicious.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Spanish cuisine or wants to try something new. Please give this restaurant a try—you will not be disappointed. Supporting a new business is rewarding, and this restaurant truly stands out in our community.

Let’s help make their business a success and continue to support this gem.

Also there is a nice party rental hall in the basement complete with dance...

I booked their lower level party room for my birthday, and absolutely loved it! Andrea was wonderful, she along with the owner worked with me on every step of the party planning. The menu they created was delicious, the buffet set up exceeded my expectations! All the guests raved about the food, and most made two trips to the buffet. The albondigas were amazing, as were the arepas. The pork, chicken and beef fillings were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The space was gorgeous, completely remodeled. We had our own private bar, sound system, lighting, dance floor. I hosted 40, but the space could have easily held double that. If anyone is looking for a venue to host a party, this is the place!

I have also dined in the restaurant, and was equally pleased! Their drinks are amazing, great wine selection too. Everyone on the staff is wonderful and welcoming and you can feel that as soon as you step in the door. A wonderful gem...
