" I was excited to try Parma based on all the rave reviews, and it certainly lived up to the hype! The flavors are very authentic, reminiscent of real Italian cuisine. I tailored my order to include various appetizers, and everything was delicious. However, I thought the pasta portions could be a bit more generous given the price. The service was generally good but had a few slow moments. All in all, worth another visit to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was taken back by the charm of this little restaurant! The seafood risotto was incredible and had a nice balance of flavors. The outdoor dining area was cozy, though the noise from passing pedestrians was a bit distracting at times. However, the staff made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and happy. I would recommend this place if you're looking for quality Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent trip to San Diego, I discovered Parma Cucina Italiana, and I'm so glad I did! The homemade gnocchi was so fluffy and delightful, it practically melted in my mouth! Plus, our server was so engaging and fun, really enhancing the dining experience. The ambiance was intimate and perfect for a date night. I sincerely can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with open arms. We decided to start with the burrata and prosciutto, which were superb! For mains, we had the special of the day—truffle pasta—and it was fantastic. The intimate setting made everything feel special. Overall, a must-visit Italian eatery! " (*Curated Review*)

" The evening started with calamari as a starter, beautifully cooked! I had the pappardelle which was delightful. The staff was attentive throughout the whole meal, ensuring we were happy the entire time. This is definitely a spot to keep in mind for a wonderful dinner date! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best lasagna I've ever had, hands down! The pasta was cooked just right, and the flavors were truly authentic. I also had dessert which was equally perfect. However, the place can get busy on weekends, which can slow down service a bit. Will definitely be back for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this place from friends, I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The decor was warm and inviting, and the staff was so friendly. I ordered the tortellini and was impressed by how well it was prepared - not too heavy, just right! We even tried the tiramisu for dessert, and it was perfectly balanced. I would highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
