Osteria dello Zingaro
Parma, Italy
The read// why locals go
A few steps from Piazza Duomo, down a narrow borgo, Osteria dello Zingaro keeps a handful of tables and a firmly Parmigiana menu. Paolo Bruni opened it in 2004 and the cooking has stayed where it started: salumi from the province, egg pasta rolled in the house — tortelli filled with pumpkin, or with spinach and ricotta — and second courses that tell you who eats here, trippa alla parmigiana and beef and horse cooked over the grill. Those last two are the tell; visitors rarely order them, Parma does. The room is small, rustic and informal, with enough seats to fill up on regulars alone, so a table is worth arranging ahead.
Opening hours
Mo-Sa 12:00-14:30, 19:00-22:30; Su closed
