Exceptional traditional homemade Italian cuisine. Roberta was excellent ! We will be back !
Excellent food from a family owned business. The seafood pasta and meatballs were amazing. Small place I would recommend reservations.
What an incredible restaurant. The flavor of the food was out of this world and the ambiance was great. Dog friendly and my pup had a great time. Will definitely be back.
This was an amazing choice for a business dinner. The atmosphere, service and food were spectacular. Thank you so much for the hospitality.
It was amazing experience! The service is so nice and as European myself it was nice to feel again that amazing atmosphere of Italy. Food is delightful and well made felt like home
It was our 35th wedding anniversary and i wanted somewhere nice but without a lot of noise or fanfare. We had not previously been to Parma and the description and previous reviews made it sound like what i was hoping for. It was by all accounts! My wife had the lasagna, of course, which we also share as tonight's leftovers and I had seafood linguine. Delicious food, friendly while appropriately attentive and reasonably priced, Leonardo and Francesca offer a wonderful dining experience.
Great italian food. We really enjoyed the good taste of the burrata and all the other dishes. The host is very nice. The waiter Robert is very attentive. We'll come back.
This is the best Italian restaurant in San Diego. My wife and I have been going there for years. We have tried almost everything on the menu and it is all delicious. The owner and staff are wonderful. The service is excellent no matter how busy the restaurant is. If you haven't tried Parma, please do. You will love it like we do.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Parma Cucina in San Diego, and I can't wait to share my delightful experience! We made our reservations effortlessly through the OpenTable app, which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and promptly seated, ready to embark on our culinary adventure. We started our meal with the **Burrata Fiore di Parma** and the **Carpaccio di Salmone**. Both appetizers were generous portions, perfect for our party size. The burrata was creamy and rich, paired beautifully with fresh accompaniments. The salmon carpaccio was a standout—it had an intriguing smoky flavor that added a unique twist to the dish. For my main course, I chose the **Fagottini al Tartufo**, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The truffle flavor was rich and aromatic, enveloping the delicate pasta in a luxurious embrace. Each bite was a celebration of flavors that transported me straight to Italy. The wine selection at Parma Cucina was impressive, with a range of options that complemented our dishes perfectly. I appreciated the knowledgeable staff who helped us choose the right wine to enhance our meal. One delightful surprise was discovering that the restaurant has a Q for Quality, approved by Ospitalità Italiana—a prestigious European rating that speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence. Overall, my experience at Parma Cucina was exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in San Diego. From the warm ambiance to the exquisite food and attentive service, it's a gem worth visiting. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! 🍷✨
We found this gem from a prior open table review. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Service was attentive and the food came quite quickly. All the dishes were delicious.

The food is amazing. The Lasagna OMG. Best I've ever had. The service is phenomenal. What a great dinner. Barbara (Barbi) was amazing.
Sat outside Friday night. Restaurant has outdoor heaters making it very pleasant. As usual food was delicious and the service was OUTSTANDING. Why go elsewhere.
Cozy charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Hillcrest. Friendly efficient staff provided a very pleasant experience. Drinks, octopus salad and short rib pasta were all excellent. It's a real taste of Italy!
The owner of this place is insanely rude and doesnt care about people, he thinks he owns the sidewalk too and can direct people what do to from it

The lobster plate was very bland and had very few lobster pieces. However, my guest did love his seafood pasta.
