Trattoria Antichi Sapori

Michelin Bib Gourmand 2026 8.6 km, 13 min by car Closed Tuesday

Trattoria Antichi Sapori is on Strada Montanara 318 at Gaione, in the countryside south of Parma. The 2026 Michelin Guide lists it as a Bib Gourmand in the € band, the guide's cheapest. Its inspectors describe a simple, warm room, a family welcome, and owner Davide Censi at the tables recommending the day's dishes and wines.

The two dishes Michelin singles out are the tortelli d'erbetta, made with excellent fresh local ricotta, and a hand-churned gelato with mascarpone and croccante. The trattoria is closed on Tuesday. It is 8.6 km from the center, so you will need a car or a taxi.

What to order

The menu changes with the season, and the trattoria's own website could not be read when this page was checked, so the list below combines the Michelin write-up with a dated 2023 review. Ask for the day's list.

  • Tortelli d'erbetta, the dish Michelin names.
  • Anolini of donkey stracotto in beef and capon broth, a local twist on anolini in brodo.
  • Cured meats: prosciutto aged over 30 months, culatello di Zibello, and a mixed board with house giardiniera.
  • A caramelized onion tart credited to chef Davide Oldani, trippa alla parmigiana, stuffed punta di vitello.
  • A Parmigiano Reggiano flight that in 2023 ran from 30 to 101 months, with pear mostarda.
  • The gelato, churned by hand, with mascarpone and croccante.

What it costs

No current price list was available online on September 29, 2026. The most recent itemized prices come from a Scatti di Gusto review published in May 2023: tortelli €12, donkey anolini €13, prosciutto €13, culatello €16, punta di vitello and quail €14, desserts €8–€10, and a bill of about €32 a head. Prices have probably risen since, but Michelin's € band in 2026 still puts it among the cheapest listed tables in the province.

Getting there

The trattoria is 8.6 km (5.3 miles) by road from Piazza Garibaldi, about 13 minutes by car on an OSRM route. Michelin notes parking and a terrace. There is no practical walking route; a taxi each way is the alternative to driving. If you are renting a car for the Torrechiara castle or the Parma hills, Gaione is on the way south, and lunch here fits a castle morning.

How it compares

Within the municipality of Parma, Michelin gives four trattorie a 2026 Bib Gourmand. Antichi Sapori and Ai Due Platani are the countryside pair; I Tri Siochètt is the big, cheap family option; Brisla, on Strada Farini, is the one you can walk to. Antichi Sapori is the quieter, more personal of the four, with the owner running the room.

Booking

Book by phone on +39 0521 648165. Michelin lists Tuesday as the closing day and shows mostly lunch service, so check whether dinner is on for your date before you plan an evening drive. Summer weekends and Sunday lunch fill with Parma families; a weekday lunch is the easiest table. The trattoria describes its menus as seasonal, so the dishes above will rotate.
