Trattoria Sorelle Picchi grew out of a historic salumeria on Strada Farini in Parma, so lunch starts at the counter: culatello, coppa and spalla cotta.
Signature: Culatello di Zibello, Tortelli d'erbetta, Anolini in brodo
Order: The salumi board from the counter, then anolini in brodo.
Tip: The front counter is a working salumeria whose boards also sell to take away; tables book in two seatings at lunch, 12:00 and 13:45.
Trattoria del Tribunale hides in a lane behind Parma's courthouse, rolling tortelli, anolini and tagliatelle daily under a ceiling of hanging salumi.
Signature: Tortelli d'erbetta, Anolini in brodo, Salame di Felino

Tip: Open every day including Sunday evening, which is rare in central Parma. The lane entrance on Vicolo Politi is easy to walk past.
Brisla Trattoria earned a 2026 Bib Gourmand for chef Elia Otgianu's seasonal take on Parma classics: anolini in brodo, leek tortelli and bomba di riso.
Signature: Anolini in brodo, Tortelli di porri e tartufo, Bomba di riso
