In the heart of Parma, amidst the picturesque winding streets of the city's "left bank", is Il Cortile, a vestige of Old Parma that has retained its original appearance with its ample, inviting veranda. Il Cortile has remained faithful to its trattoria origins, but owner Mauro and his wife Maria have added a special touch. The intimate and relaxing atmosphere, impeccable service and excellent wine list always create a perfectly-harmonious ambience. The menu, innovative yet true to its culinary heritage, offers the best-known traditional Parma dishes, a number of regional specialties and an enticing array of new, creative offerings. Business lunches, romantic dinners, private parties-all organized with utmost discretion and confidentiality. In addition, Il Cortile can take on a festive, convivial atmosphere to host large parties or banquets. Its varied menu and unique setting also make it the perfect midday choice.
