Bar Saimon In Formigara

31/10/2025: What a lovely surprise. We love visiting our cities, and this Saturday, October 25th, accompanied by beautiful sunshine, it was Cremona's turn, with its splendid violin museum and the beauties of its historic center. At lunchtime, I followed the advice of a YouTube video and called this trattoria, and I was right. So, it's best to book. As soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly impressed. Simple but well-kept. We immediately felt at ease. The tables were close together, simply set with placemats. But everything was very friendly and welcoming, like those lovely trattorias of yesteryear. A family-run atmosphere, with the mother in the kitchen, whom I would have loved to meet. The menu included two first courses and two second courses with side dishes. Everything was homemade. The gnocchi with meat sauce were delicious. The zuzza ravioli were delicious! The stew with polenta was delicious!! It was like coming home after work. We had a great time! The bill was unbelievable. They were also wonderful. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be back, guaranteed. Thank you, you made the day end beautifully.

28/10/2025: A truly timeless place (in every sense of the word). A quick lunch on a random Tuesday. Pork rinds with beans, gnocchi with ragù, and perhaps the best cotechino with cabbage I've ever eaten. If you happen to be passing through Cremona and want to experience the atmosphere of the 70s and 80s, don't miss this osteria. I'll definitely be back.
