Cortex Bistrot

“Excellent creative fare!”

Bradley Eaton★★★★★

Popped in for lunch on Friday at noon. Each dish was a work of art. We had gnocchi with snails, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms (in season), and the zucchini dish. Each presented harmonious combinations of flavors and textures. They provided a basket of sour dough bread that was perfect for getting the last bits of sauce. Presentations were colorful and artistic. The service was friendly and efficient. The restroom was very clean with a design that would be very accessible to persons with disabilities / wheelchairs. So glad we found them. Amending my review to say that we enjoyed it so muc

Whenever I read the menu descriptions, I'm always curious how they will execute the dish with those ingredients—and they nail it every time! The food is amazingly good, and I can't wait to come back.

This was an incredible dinner in Parma. Quite unexpected. Not your typical Italian restaurant. It was an Italian, French, Asian fusion IMHO. Really should have a Michelin star. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating. They helped with wine and spoke excellent English. We shared 4 dishes. First they brought an amuse Buche. Then we shared cipolla with Comte sauce, then the tagliatelle with porchini mushrooms, then the fish (cod on our visit) with corn, then the chocolate dessert. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better.

We stumbled upon Cortex Bistrot last summer, in the midst of a 13-day tour of Italy. Not only was this the best meal I had in Italy, but the ricotta gnocchi is the best thing I've eaten in my entire life. We will remember our meal at Cortex Bistrot for the rest of our lives. Grazie mille!
