He’s looking forward to a long and tasty relationship at PARMA.
HI! I recently ate at Parma for the first time and really enjoyed the gluten-free options (sauted calamari, mista salad and Tagliatelle Gamberi w/ GF pasta) I will back soon — maybe this week on my 18th birthday!.
Also, please pass this note to Mr. Annecharico so he may see information about MENSCHEN, a non-profit film-project I am working on. Maybe he has ideas that will help us!

I dine weekly at Parma and really have enjoyed th menu selections. Silvio has been especially gracious and friendly, and Summer is also extremely efficient and nice. I’ve brought in friends and family that have also been impressed with the menu offerings and the quality. So nice to have a little bit of “real Italy” here in Louisville! Gracie!

I am usually pretty picky about Italian restaurants but I can honestly say this is some of the best authentic Italian food that I have had in the US since studying in Florence. Absolutely delicious and I will for sure will be back soon, thank you Parma for gracing us with your amazing food!
