3 italian spots in Oltretorrente, editor-picked by TableJourney. All of Oltretorrente's food · All italian in Parma.
Ristorante Cocchi ★ 4.6
Viale Antonio Gramsci 16/A, 43126 Parma
Ristorante Cocchi has fed Parma's bourgeoisie since 1925: anolini in brodo, the trio of tortelli and, from September to April, a serious bollito trolley.
Tip: The bolliti run September to April only. Book a day ahead for Sunday lunch, when Parma families claim most of the two dining rooms.
Osteria Virgilio ★ 4.2
Strada Giovanni Inzani 3/B, 43125 Parma
Osteria Virgilio is Oltretorrente Parma at its most honest: 36-month prosciutto, anolini in brodo and horse tartare in a small room with natural wines.
Tip: The room seats very few, so call ahead. Gazzetta di Parma's February 2026 review called it a modern osteria of local tradition and a posto del cuore.
Trattoria Il Cortile ★ 4.0
Borgo Paglia 3, 43125 Parma
Trattoria Il Cortile serves Parma classics in a vaulted Oltretorrente courtyard room: anolini in brodo, tortelli d'erbetta and slow-braised veal cheek.
Tip: The Oltretorrente side of the river stays calmer than the Duomo streets at dinner, so this is the easier good table on a Saturday.
