Strada Farini
Strada Luigi Carlo Farini
Parma's liveliest food street, lined with delis, wine bars and small trattorias, and busy with aperitivo crowds in the evening.
This old street runs south from Piazza Garibaldi, lined with delicatessens, wine bars and traditional small restaurants. It is the best place to sample Parma ham, culatello, Parmigiano-Reggiano and local Malvasia sparkling wine. During the evening aperitivo hour, people stand along the street with glasses in hand, creating a lively atmosphere. Nearby are long-established shops selling handmade pasta, including anolini and tortelli. Weekend evenings are busy, so popular restaurants are best booked in advance.
