TRADITIONAL CUISINE
Parma. The golden yellow hue of fresh, handmade pasta. The timeless aroma of Prosciutto di Parma and other deli meats. The seasons slip by slowly, leaving ripples in their wake. Secrets are lost in the mists of time, not to mention the green pastures where Benedictine and Cistercian monks once made Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
SEAFOOD SPECIALITIES
The warm sunlight of Sicily. The endless blue of the Mediterranean. Salty sea air intermingling with the fragrant aromas of herbs. We carry cherished memories of all of this in our hearts, giving it beautifully balanced, concrete form in the exquisite cuisine of Chef Angelo Cammarata.
OUR WINE LIST
Bottles of red, white and rosé lie alongside each other in our cellar, while the spiralling bubbles in our sparkling wine selection are eager to be unleashed. They’re all just waiting to be carried to your tables for a dining experience you’ll never forget.
LA FORCHETTA RESTAURANT IN PARMA
When our kitchens are quiet early in the morning, you might just be able to make out the sound of bright orange egg yolks gently dropping into flour and sending little clouds up into the air. They’ll soon be giving a golden hue to the famous fresh Emilian pasta dough. Soft and slender, it’s the cornerstone of the first courses traditionally served in Parma: Tortelli filled with spinach beet and Cappelletti in broth. They never look better than they do here at La Forchetta.
This was where our culinary adventures began and we continue to prepare choice traditional dishes from Parma, putting our individual stamp on them with the tiniest of twists. But we had no intention of stopping there: it’s no secret here in the city centre that our chef Angelo loves to delve into his Sicilian roots and come up with new seafood sensations…
