The restaurants of Polesine Parmense offer visitors a taste of one of the most distinctive culinary traditions of the Parma lowlands, in an area deeply connected with the River Po and its rural heritage.
The star of the local table is Culatello di Zibello DOP, accompanied by traditional cured meats, Parmigiano Reggiano, fresh pasta, anolini, tortelli and classic Emilian dishes. Local restaurants and trattorias provide an excellent introduction to a cuisine shaped by tradition and the changing seasons.
Eating in Polesine is a great way to experience Parma's Food Valley close to the River Po. A meal can also be combined with a visit to Antica Corte Pallavicina, the Culatello Museum and the historic villages of the Parma lowlands.
