Trattoria del Grillo
Parma, Italy
The read// why locals go
Out where Parma's streets loosen into the Vigatto countryside, Trattoria del Grillo has been cooking the city's own kitchen since 1960. The card stays inside the Parmigiana canon — cured meats from the surrounding hills, filled pasta rolled by hand, slow-cooked meats — and the prices stay where a trattoria's belong, with dishes running from roughly six to nineteen euros. This is a proper sit-down room with tables worth booking rather than a counter to queue at, though a takeaway service exists for the same food eaten at home. The recognition it has collected is local rather than national: the kitchen won a contest broadcast on 12tvparma, the city's own channel, which is about the right scale of fame for a place like this.
Opening hours
We-Su 09:00-15:30, 18:00-24:00 (kitchen 12:00-14:30, 19:00-22:30); Mo-Tu closed
