Franca e Luciano In Castelverde

I always gladly return to this restaurant. The service, food, and quality are guaranteed. The staff are friendly and dynamic.

Quality and kindness, if you pass by these parts go and try it

Great, family run restaurant. Not many old school restaurants left. This is the real deal. Prices are very reasonable and the food is always fresh and delicious. Thank you and please never change.

I was there the other evening with friends at a restaurant with good food and a friendly atmosphere. The dishes are traditional, and you can tell they're made with top-quality ingredients. The service is kept to a high standard, and the attention to detail is perfect. One small sore point about the service: on the one hand, there are young, friendly, and competent waiters who explain what they're serving, offering a few interesting facts about the dish, attentive to the service and the customer's needs. On the other hand, there are the waitresses, ladies, who, while they may be part of the restaurant's history, are simply inadequate. Their service suffers due to some health issues: it's slow, inaccurate, and it's best not to have them serve the ruby ​​soup. Furthermore, it's clear that even if they aren't attentive to service, their attendance doesn't change. In my opinion, and in order to further enhance this splendid establishment, the service should be left to healthy, competent waiters like the young waitresses.

We stopped at this trattoria for lunch almost by chance. Everything we tried was excellent: meat agnolotti in broth, a plate of mixed boiled meats, and trofie with pumpkin and sausage, and finally the nougat semifreddo. Everything was delicious and homemade! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Very friendly staff.

Historic Cremonese trattoria, offering traditional dishes in a dated but warm setting, courteous service and reasonable prices.

To make a long story short, I couldn't hear the person within two people's distance at the table. The lunch lasted four hours. Wine was served already opened without asking (€30 on the bill). The menu was listed verbally without knowing the price. Seconds were available, but be careful with the appetizers, for which we received a plate of cold cuts and a plate of torta fritta for six people for the modest sum of €50.... Would I go back? Maybe just for a business lunch for €10.

We visited this trattoria in October 2025, located in a small village away from the main roads, with good parking. The interior is very spacious, with several rooms. The staff is all female, prompt with everything, and always smiling. We started with the mixed appetizers, then some opted for a sampling of the three first courses of the day, while others opted for the main course of braised beef with polenta. We had the opportunity to try everything, including the pumpkin risotto, the beetroot gnocchi, and the ravioli filled with braised beef, all truly excellent. The only thing we weren't convinced by was the tart, which was too dry, too much dough, and not enough jam. Good value for money and quantity. Reservations are required.

Excellent trattoria to enjoy with friends and family. Good food and friendly owners. Highly recommended if you're in the Cremona area.

Excellent home cooking, the food is good and the price is fair. The dishes are well prepared and hot with fast service.
