Enoteca Fontana

Best place for lunch in Parma. Outside we sat and had some panini and ham. Can’t beat there prices and had excellent service!

Perfect place to stop when in Parma. Service was friendly. Wine was delicious & the food was excellent. We sat on the patio which is perfect for people watching and enjoying fresh air. Don’t miss this spot when visiting. We appeared to be the only tourists in sight. If the locals love it you know it must be good!

The perfect place to sit and, grab a drink (likely a spritz) and enjoy Parma at night. Located near Via Farini its filled with interesting people and sights.

Heading to Parma for the day with prosciutto on the brain, I read that this was the place to go for charcuterie and wine and it more than delivered.
The front entrance looks more like a wine shop, but when you go through the second door you enter an area packed with people ordering sandwiches over a counter surrounded by cases packed with meat, cheese and bread. If you’re just looking to grab a quick bite and a glass of wine, this room has a few ledges around the edge where people were standing and eating. There are rooms in the back where you can sit down at rustic wooden tables in a kind of seat yourself family style kind of way.
We lucked out and nabbed a table for 4 during the busiest time. It was seriously packed and I think we were the only tourists there… it had a very local feel. I’d certainly frequent it if I lived in Parma! They had delicious regional wines at 2.50 Euro a glass. Excellent meat and cheese plates. Fast service. And the prices were great! 3 beers, 4 glasses of wine, 2 plates of meat and 1 of cheese, and 2 espresso was 42 Euro…10.50 a person! Can’t beat the price or experience. It was the highlight of our Parma trip. I hope I can go back someday!

Wine and people-​watching — what a lovely way to spend an afternoon in Parma. Grab an outdoor table and watch the parade of locals and tourists go by on Via Farini.
The wine list is extensive, including a good number served by the glass. Everything we tried was tasty and reasonably-​priced.
