Trattoria Corrieri
A bustling, traditional trattoria in the heart of the old town, highly popular for its torta fritta with cured ham, three-color tortelli, and horse meat dishes.
Located at Strada Conservatorio 1 in the old town, this trattoria takes its name from the 19th-century messengers (corrieri) who used to stop here to dine and rest their horses. Inside, you'll find checkered tablecloths and wooden decor. The dining room is spacious, lively, and noisy, making it less suited for a quiet date. Signature dishes include torta fritta served with Parma ham and strolghino salami, three-color tortelli (herb, pumpkin, and potato), horse meat pesto, and stuffed veal breast, with Torta Susanna for dessert. Reviews from 2026 note that tortelli costs around €12, with an average spend of about €40 per person including wine. Open daily, it is just a few minutes' walk from the old town's main attractions.
