Tortelli di zucca, tortelli di tartufo, tortelli di ricotta are the three flavors that we had and every single one of them was absolutely incredibly deliciously melt in your mouth amazing. We also had the gnocco friti con salume (which included salami, pancetta, coppa, and Parm ham). I couldn't control myself. I knew that more food was coming, but all I wanted was to stick every single piece of that hot fried dough with thinly sliced pigs meat into my mouth as quickly as possible to savor every bite. The bottle of wine (barritieri) was €12 and it was beautiful. For dessert we ordered the typical Sicilian cake, which upon arrival I was disappointed because I never thought I could eat something that had a hard layer of sugar on top. Boy was I in for a surprise. I neglected the icing on top but I ate almost all the cake underneath it I and loved every bite. Oh sweet Italy, how you have seduced me so.

God bless Italy

This osteria is a wonderful place to have lunch.

Ristorante Il Violino

This is a restaurant that we really wanted to love, but unfortunately didn't. We came here as the…read morefinal food destination of our trip, a violin-themed restaurant for our violin-themed day. The space is tucked away off the main cathedral plaza and has a very calm atmosphere despite its formality. The server helping us was extremely gracious and friendly, and we have to say that the two white wines that he selected for us were absolutely fantastic. We started with the poached egg and asparagus, and we didn't love it. Most of the dish was cold, which is not usually welcome with eggs, but the flavor was nice (LOTS of sauce, as in way too much). For primi, our daughter's eggplant parmigiana ravioli were really nice, and that was probably our favorite dish of the meal. The lemon linguine was super citrusy, but one of us did not love the pairing with the trout eggs. The "mixed grilled meat" plate was very novel. There was this odd salad that was almost like a soup but it was so fresh and delicious-tasting, and definitely very unique. The various meats we tried were also quite tasty, so the dish overall landed well for us. Even though we didn't fall in love with this restaurant, we would recommend it and can see ourselves going again if we're ever back in Cremona (fingers crossed!!). They also gave us a copy of their menu as a souvenir which had this beautiful picture of a fairy playing the violin that we are going to frame, so that's a nice memory. 3.5 stars, rounding up for the memories!

As we entered and sat I was honestly concerned. Even when we read the menu, which was presented in an envelope ( really cool ) I was still very concerned. As our dishes came my concern resided immediately. The food was presentation was amazing. The service was incredible and the taste. Incredible. I had the meat filled ravioli, the meat pizza and the pasta made of eggplant, can't pronounce or spell name. All was incredible. Then for desert crepes. Wow. They said they were low calorie too. Big win. Wink, wink. Honestly as I said un the beginning my expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised. What an amazing place to eat in Cremona Italy. A definite must try. P.s. Keep your mind open to the restaurants food suggestions.
