This place is just top notch! Starting from the decorations it's a local cozy place with hanging meats and wine shelves. The staff was very friendly and exceptionally helpful, even though we bombarded the waiter with questions he kindly helped with everything and end up making our sandwiches all custom from his suggestions! Needless to say the sandwiches were all 11 out of 10 and the cappuccino I ordered was also very good. Easily the best sandwich place we ate at in our trip in Italy and we tasted 5 different sandwich places!

Stopped for lunch because of the reviews and it didn't disappoint! We got the meat and cheese board and a couple different sandwiches. They were all fantastic! My wife loved that they had a gluten free bun that was nice and soft and fresh. Hopefully we can come back for another meal some day!

A Perfect Emilia-Romagna Lunch at Poldo Poldo, located just across the street from the museum and Teatro Farnese in Parma, was the perfect stop for an authentic Emilia-Romagna lunch. We were delighted by a beautifully prepared plate featuring all the iconic flavors of the region: silky Prosciutto di Parma, 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, delicious mortadella, and a fantastic local wine. After visiting the museum, it was so convenient to simply cross the street and enjoy a relaxed, high-quality meal. The food was satisfying without being heavy — rich in protein and flavor, with just the right amount of bread, which felt like a nice break from all the pasta and carbs typical of Italian meals. The prices were more than fair for the quality offered, and we enjoyed it so much we’ve decided to come back again tomorrow — and likely more than once during our stay! Highly recommended for a casual, delicious, and regionally true lunch in the heart of Parma.

Incredible spot! One of the best focaccia sandwiches I have tasted in Italy. Set in a wonderful location with a beautiful ambience. I have to say a special mention to the young male host who helped me choose and build my sandwich. Incredible suggestions :) See you next time I am passing through Parma. Until then - stay blessed and happy

Brilliant service from lovely staff. Knowledgeable about the food they serve and their superb multi lingual language skills make your head swim at their brilliance. Amazing food, completely changed my English view of "grated parmesan on a spag bol". Thank you!

Brilliant spot for food tasting, along with beers and wine. This cafe restaurant got their own shop if you want to purchase cheese.

Ome of the best placces we have ever eaten at. The food had excellent taste and textures and we couldn't stop eating. We tried many of the sandwiches with different ingredients and breads and everything was amazing. The stuff was so friendly and helpful and suggested many ingredients based on our taste. They where joyful and kind and we couldn't be more happy with that! Also something special was that we could draw on the tables with chalk of different colours and it was a really fun activity while we where waiting for the food to be prepared. The atmosphere was wonderful as you can see in the photos and the view outside thw windows was great too. We visitwd the place two times on our day trip to Parma. I could not suggest this place more!!
