Trattoria Squeri is special for so many reasons. ❤️
First and foremost it’s a favourite of the legendary Carlo Ancelotti. That’s reason enough for us. Beyond that it’s a business that has been in the same family for four generations. And the food is exquisite.
It’s about 30 minutes outside of Parma though. If you’re not renting a car, an uber can set you back €80 so you might want to negotiate with a Parma taxi company! Trust us, you won’t regret it. 🫵
Finally, for those of you wondering, here are some important translations from the menu:
The spalla cotta calda is cooked pork shoulder served hot. Ancelotti’s favourite.
The tris, or trio, of tortellini includes three types of pasta filling based on the season.
Tagliata di cavallo is horse meat. This may not be for everyone and has an earthier taste than what you might be used, while the punta al forno is another pork cut - also delicious and a dish Carlo liked to order on his visits to Squeri. 🤝
