Gallo d'Oro, Parma

After a day filled with sights to feed the soul, the body still needed to be fueled. We decided to try one of the restaurants our host had recommended and it was amazing. Dinner tonight was at Ristorante Gallo d’Oro, and once again, the food was delicious.

The only thing that did amuse us was our entree of parmesan cheese, which we thought we had to try as it is the food of the town. What we didn't expect was chunks of parmesan cheese served with two small bows of dipping sauces. No bread, no biscuits, nothing but cheese and we have to admit it was a bit overpowering. One nibble was all we needed. Thnakfully the rest of our meal was perfect and easy to devour.

To top our evening off we sat next to Kristy and John, a couple from Perth. It was nice being able to talk and laugh with people from Australia after being away from home for so long. These interludes just add to the whole experience.Read more
