La Fiaschetteria: Emilian Tradition in the Po Valley

Since 1991, La Fiaschetteria has been a fixture in the Po Valley, on the border between Piacenza and Parma. The restaurant describes this land as the cradle that welcomes them, and their philosophy is rooted in handed-down tradition, a culture of food, and the truth of the raw ingredients they serve, all while respecting the territory and its inhabitants. This commitment to authenticity has earned the restaurant a Michelin recommendation, a nod to its high expression of Emilian gastronomic culture.

The kitchen at La Fiaschetteria expresses the flavors of its territory, following the cycle of the seasons. The team draws inspiration from nature, memories, their history, and their travels, looking with creativity toward the future. The result is a menu that honors classics while offering modern reinterpretations, satisfying contemporary desires and pleasures.

The menu showcases the best of the region. Starters include a standout Culatello, a prized cured meat produced in-house, alongside inventive dishes like roasted eggplant with tahina, candied citron, black garlic reduction, basil cream, and confit cherry tomatoes, or a marinated rainbow trout tartare with its own roe and Norman sauce. Primi courses feature Emilian staples like Pisarei with roasted pepper cream, Po cheese fondue, and caper powder, or Plin stuffed with eggplant, almond pesto, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Secondi range from grilled eel lacquered with Saba (cooked grape must) and spring onion, to lamb chops with their own jus, paprika carrots, and tarragon, and a bone-in beef osso buco with its marrow, minced local beef, capers, and sweet-and-sour red onions. Desserts include a frozen zabaglione with caramelized apricots and almond crumble, and a classic Zuppa Inglese.

La Fiaschetteria also boasts an interesting wine list, and the restaurant is equipped with air conditioning and offers parking for guests. It is a true destination for those seeking a profound taste of Emilian cuisine, recognized by Michelin for its excellence.
