The staff were efficient and friendly. They made sure I had what I needed to make my meal enjoyable - without hovering. The Minestrone soup was delicious; however, I've not had this variant before. A lot of potatoes, and minimal Zucchini. The toast (served with the soup) was lightly buttered and seasoned. Toasted to perfection. Not dry or hard. If they take that much time making sure toast is done right, imagine the main course! The Lasagna Parmigiano was outstanding. A very generous portion, with a wonderful mix of flavors. Again, not a recipe I was familiar with, but flavorful and filling. I highly recommend it. An overall wonderful dining experience. Well done Parma Restaurant!

Our first visit to the restaurant was delightful. We booked ahead but for a busy time on a Friday evening. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived but we were greeted warmly and were given seats at the bar for a strong cocktail. We enjoyed watching the chefs in the open kitchen do their thing. Our server seated us and helped us pick wine for our meals which we appreciated. The food was just what we expected and we enjoyed every bite! As a vegetarian I was happy to have options to choose from, so next time we go I will have something different to enjoy. The service was impeccable for the whole time we were there, very attentive and friendly. We look forward to our next visit!

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We ordered the antipasti app, I had the tortellini filled with ricotta and chard my husband had the porcini mushroom risotto. Our desserts were the creme brule and chocolate mouse. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect for our anniversary celebration, and the staff were friendly and attentive. We will be returning guests.

Just wow! This restaurant is an absolute masterpiece. Every single dish, from the delicate quail and savory escargot to the melt-in-your-mouth carpaccio and perfect pasta, was a symphony of flavors. The food is authentically Italian and prepared to perfection—each bite was pure bliss. Even the dessert was amazing; my eyes rolled back with every bite. The sparkling wine was a perfect pairing, enhancing every dish. I've dined at many Italian restaurants across the country and in various countries, and I must say, this was one of the best meals I've ever had. It is truly worth the trip to Fresno just to have a meal here. The service was impeccable and the attention to detail was unsurpassed. Owner Elaina is the best host, making the entire experience feel warm and special. This was more than just a meal; it was truly an orgasmic culinary journey.

Fine dining does not get any better. This was close to absolute perfection. We arrived with reservations at their opening, and were promptly seated at my favorite location, a table in the back corner. A young man filled our water glasses without spilling a drop. Our server, Conner, recommended a wonderful Italian-produced Pino Grigio, which was light and fruity with a nice finish. There is not much better than a server who is like a sommelier. The wine list is quite diverse, and certainly adequate in reds, whites, and sparkles. We got warm, fresh bread, and breadsticks, while we contemplated the menu. The cuisine is strictly meat and pasta, no seafood, but there are many great choices. My wife got the outstanding Minestrone and the Lasagna Parmigian, our niece got the Ravioli de Radiccio, and I got the Escargot, and the Rack of Lamb. Pardon my lack of Italian language here. The escargot were large, in a tremendous traditional butter and garlic sauce, where the bread came in very handy. The lamb was perfectly cooked to order. I have never seen a lasagna presented like this before. All presentations were meticulous, as I am sure Chef Rafael demands. Dinner was nicely paced. While we were too stuffed to order off the homemade dessert menu, Conner did bring out some complimentary, lemony, wonderful Italian cookies. We were also greeted at our table by an elegant, gracious lady, Signora Mastro, who reminded me very much of Chef Andrea, former owner of the great New Orleans restaurant the bore his name for over 30 years. There is something about the Italian people, no matter where we go, that drives them to respect their tradition, and that seems to always make a difference. Signora Mastro is truly a culinary Maestro.

This was an interesting restaurant to visit due to how innocuous it appears from its exterior. It could easily be missed if one isn’t informed- however it would be grand disservice to steer folks here. The interior, while aged, is upheld by the fantastic service and superior dishes. Notable standouts were the lasagna and gnocchi. The duck pasta wasn’t out favorite despite being duck lovers given that the pasta was surprisingly crunchy. We asked for a replacement dish which was promptly supplied with no haggling; this level of customer service is seldom seen, which elevated this seemingly nice experience into an extraordinary one. The creme brûlée was magical, although some vanilla bean would truly elevate this dish. They also offer corkage for an additional fee of $20. Thank you for all for a marvelous experience.

Best food we've had in the Central Valley! Great service. Super friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. We did make a reservation so I'm not sure how long a walk in would be. But no wait on the reservation.

Attended a birthday party at this restaurant and man was I blown away by the amazing food, service and attention we all received. These people make you feel like your part of their family and always checking on you to make sure everything is 100% satisfactory. The food was off the hook amazing, fresh, colorful and so flavorful. I will not forget this place and will say thank you very much for the amazing job everyone in the place did.
