If you want authentic Parma, this is it.  Food was absolutely outstanding.  The recommended dishes of Bread, Cheese, Meats is fantastic.  Cacio e pepe was one of the best I've had.

BEST genovese pesto spaghetti ever.
Seriously, their pesto is simply epic. I have yet to see pesto as good as theirs in London or elsewhere. I have no idea how they do it. It tastes so fresh.

Amazing spot for Italian food, as it is also their other restaurant Via Emilia.
I had a plate of cured meat which was great since it had also Culatello. As main I had a Lasagna that I also liked a lot as both the Pasta itself was really well made and the Ragu tasty as well.
Service is nice and friendly and prices are fair.

We enjoyed a light lunch here with a shared two meat and cheese board, some drinks, then salads of our own. All of the food was incredibly fresh and service was solid. While the place was small, we never felt crowded.

Can I just reverberate what Lizzie G said in her review: "If you're looking for a wonderful place to meet with friends and chat over a glass of great value, authentic bubbly then In Parma by Food Roots is the place for you."

In fact, this is exactly what I did: a friend was in town and we had a lot to catch up on...so we were wandering around Fitzrovia, on the lookout for a nice and relatively quiet place. All of the surrounding pubs were quite busy and noisy though, plus I also wanted to have a little bite to eat as well. Then I remembered that there was this little cute place tucked away on Charlotte Place...I'd first come into contact with it through a Yelp event a while back and this initial introduction now came in handy ;-)

My friend and I sat down and were immediately welcomed by one of the nice staff members. We said what we wanted and he helped us pick a nice bottle of wine and a light meal. We ended up sharing the "One meat one cheese" called "Parma"...which was very nice and complimented both the red wine we'd chosen (the Barbera) and our intense conversation.

Food was AMAZING! Pasta is homemade and cooked al dente (just the way I like it ). Restaurant itself is pretty small so there may be a wait but again, the food is TOTALLY worth it.

The hosts here are passionate about sharing the food from their hometown of Parma. We had a delightful evening enjoying the meat and cheese platter as well as the homemade pasta. There was no air conditioning indoors, but the courses were impeccably timed and well portioned. Charming and delicious!

Lovely little place hidden in a discreet yet lively street near many other great restaurants on Charlotte street.

We ordered the "core deal" to start:
2 bowls of sparkling red wine: sweet but surprisingly strong, perfect with the smokey cheese and charcuterie.
3 types of cured meat: 
 - Culatello Zibello PDO
 - Prosciutto Parma PDO
 - Salame Felino PDO 
They were all delicious. Apparently Culatello does not have as many providers as others and it's something worth bragging about to your Italian friends. It was indeed very delicious.
3 types of cheese: 
I know very little about cheese but the ones we had were smokey to a perfect degree. 

Then we shared bolognese and a tiramisu. The tiramisu was absolutely heavenly, a must try.

A perfect place for food and catchup. The servers were friendly, the space is nicely decorated in rustic country style, the atmosphere intimate and relaxing, and the food was down to earth yet well sourced & prepared. I'm quite positive that this spot beats all the restaurants of similar type I tried in Italy.

Good food,  it the price really brings it down!

Our Order: two bowls of Lambrusco (sparkling red wine), mixed cheese tender plate, Tortelli d'Erbetta (spinach cheese ravioli), and a pesto spaghetti.

Environment: small Italian cafe with only a couple workers. Comfortable seating and there was no wait.

Verdict: good one-time spot for the experience of the Lambrusco and the parmigiano-reggiano (which was absolutely amazing and fresh).  However the price was too steep for the flavors and portions, plus you had to pay for bread (even with the cheese plate order). Customer service was slower than expected and took awhile to actually get our check after they cleared the table & we were only the third table in the place.

Tips: try the Lambrusco - it's a new experience. The cheese plate was delicious. 

Next Time: probably wouldn't come back as there are so many other Italian food spots for try.

The place was terrible, the pasta was raw, they took practically millennium to serve us the food, their menu is tiny. when I tried splitting some food they charged us as if it where two orders of the pasta.. it wasn't cooked all the way either.
