Bar ''Bolero'' di Minotauro snc In Cremona

We exited the highway for dinner. A friendly recommendation. Quiet atmosphere with nice 80s American music. Exquisite risotto.

Delicious food, a bit of a wait...the dishes arrived an hour after ordering. We ordered two marubini and a braised beef with potatoes. Very friendly staff.

I don't usually leave negative reviews, because when a restaurant or business isn't doing well, it already has its problems, but I hope this helps the owners more than the customers. A cute place on a side street near the center, with a concise but interesting menu, a casual atmosphere, and friendly waiters. We ordered platters with good wine, and so far so good. We also had six first courses, but they arrived after a wait of over an hour. The marubini (meat ravioli, exactly 16 per dish) were good but too al dente. The porcini risotto arrived 10 minutes late, completely bland and overcooked, seeming to have been cooked in salted water instead of broth. It's a dish that's hard to mess up. Either there's a serious order management issue, or someone's kitchen is understaffed. Two hours for a light lunch was definitely too long, spending €30 a person. Do something!

A charming, unobtrusive location, a classic Cremonese osteria. The owner is friendly, but the chef is exceptional. The chicken and risotto are fabulous! The meat is buttery! Excellent value and excellent service.

An unassuming restaurant, but since we didn't book anything in Cremona, it was the only one available. We waited over 45 minutes for a plate of cold cuts! Terrible Marubini, acceptable risotto.

Simple atmosphere, excellent food, friendly service and excellent value for money

The risotto at Bolero is truly a marvel! Creamy, tasty, made with care — you can taste the passion in the kitchen. The service was also perfect: kind, attentive and super welcoming. We felt truly pampered. A special place in Cremona, we will definitely be back!

All good, even if the place is really small and eating outside is not the best with the uneven cobblestones and the mini tables... but the service and the cuisine are worth it. Price slightly above the norm, very little parking nearby, it is located in the center.
