daMAT Giovane Italia is a contemporary Italian restaurant that blends a bistro-style setting with traditional Parma fare. The atmosphere is casual and lively, perfect for a relaxed lunch, an aperitivo, or a dynamic dinner. The menu features platters of cured meats, torta fritta, seasonal dishes, and cocktails, with a focus on local specialties and conviviality. The restaurant is perceived as a refined space, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a modern Italian pub. Among its most distinctive features are the combination of Emilian cuisine and a traditional evening bar, the menu also suitable for aperitivo, and the ability to maintain a convivial and recognizable character.
Don't get distracted by the bad reviews, they're all about the night club situation. We went for lunch and had amazing food from a regional and diverse menue at awesome prices. Even their open house wine was super. Service was very attentive and friendly. This is a hidden gem if you like cucina della Nonna type of food. We'll definitely bookmark this place should we come back to Parma.
