Fantastic food. Wonderful atmosphere. It's surely worth a visit. Or even more than one. Highly recommended. It would be perfect if the guy at the check out smiled a little.

Fantastic menu. We were 6 in our group of very picky and demanding eaters. We all loved our orders. The rabbit dish was phenomenal, the torta fritta was outstanding, the risotto with truffles was great, etc. Very impressive cuisine offerings. Sevice was just perfect. Welcoming and warm atmosphere without being fake. Loved that it is a trattoria for the locals who know of quality local food. Not touristy at all.

In Agust it can be difficult to find restaurants open in this area. Fortunately the owner of the Agriturismo found Il Grillo. It is a very busy popular restaurant where people queue for the table. The menu is very regional - we needed the help of a very friendly waiter to explain parts if it. The speciality is the torta fritta - pillows of fried pastry (not a drop of grease) which are eaten with large amounts of prosciutto, salami and ham - fantastic. BTW this is not a region for the vegetarian. There was also a starter of thin slices of cooked veal topped with pear slices and walnuts. The main courses meats are of the highest quality - lamb, rabbit etc.The pasta cannot be faulted. The desserts are also impressive - the carpaccio of pineapple is pretty - look at the website - the chocolate fondant pudding and apple cake are homemade. The whole experience
was so good we booked to return two nights later and were still impressed.

We were recommended to come here by the owner of the Agriturismo we were staying in and we enjoyed it so much, we returned a second time. As others have pointed out, the Torta Fritta is superb - the best we tasted during our time here. It was light and not at all greasy. My friends enjoyed the hams and salamis, but not eating pork, I chose the veal, pear Parmesan and walnut starter - fantastic. The quality of the ingredients really stands out. We all enjoyed our main courses, but the desserts were amazing - especially the pineapple and icecream. The place was busy mid week, and I can see why. The service was friendly and good and the staff were patient with our attempts at Italian. Loved it!

Once again I'm here for lunch and not yet finished. This trattoria is really worth a visit. Paolo, the owner, is really a 'fanatic' of highest quality, traditional, Italian food. And I am myself a fanatic Italian for food! He chooses the best Parma Ham, incredibly good as everything else! I will keep visiting this restaurant every time I come to Parma!
