At the ice cream shop called '''K2''' behind the cathedral on the right. The nuns make a gelato in the shape of a flower in seconds.
A typical restaurant to have dinner is the '''Trattoria I Corrieri''' in Via Conservatorio 1, which is situated near the law faculty of the university. Try some ''torta fritta'', and ''prosciutto di Parma'' and all the other ''salami and coppa specialities'' from that region as a starter, followed by the typical ''tortelli''. If you take Tris di Tortelli, you will enjoy that special type of pasta, one filled ''zucca'' (pumpkin), ''raddichio'' (red lettuce) and ''ricotta e spinaci'' (spinage& cheese).
Drink
An ''aperitivo'' in '''Via Farini''' is something you should not miss. There are several bars in that little street where you will find a lot of people standing outside with a ''Martini'' or a ''Sprizz con Aperol'' at around 6pm, enjoying the free buffet that is offered, when you buy a drink.
