La Greppia

La Greppia is a refined restaurant that's all about regional tradition. Fresh pasta and desserts prepared by the owner personally. His cuisine is based on ancient local recipes from the court of Maria Luigia d’Asburgo — Napoleon's wife and Parma's Duchess — revised and adapted to contemporary taste and products.

Dining

Parmesan cuisine is full of variety. First and foremost, the city has given its name to several prized dairy and meat products, the highlights of which are undeniably Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan cheese) and Parma ham. As in the rest of Italy, meals are accompanied by local high-quality wines such as the reds Colli di Parma and Lambrusco, or the whites Sauvignon and Malvasia. The real autochthonous queens of the kitchen are the so-called "rezdore", all the grandmothers and mothers who can make real Parmesan dishes the tradition way. If you don't know anyone from here, you can taste local specialties in the numerous restaurants and trattorias, or as part of culinary tours around the city.
