On our return from a wonderful trip, we decided to stop for lunch in Cremona, choosing this Hosteria. I called to make a reservation, and from the owner's friendliness and honesty over the phone, I already thought I'd made the right choice. Upon arriving, we were greeted with the utmost courtesy, and it immediately felt like home. The place is lovingly decorated, and the owner's unique flair shines through in every corner. He even mentioned that he had personally taken care of the renovations. I agree with the excellent reviews of the risottos (the Taleggio, pear, and cinnamon one was superb) and the delightful buffet of fresh and cooked vegetables with cheeses. I recommend it to everyone as a must-visit in Cremona. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent risottos offered in many variations.
Rich and inviting buffet of pickles, cheeses and vegetables.
Compliments to the owner who has been running this tavern for many years.

The best Gorgonzola and walnut risotto I've ever eaten. If you pass by Cremona, stop by and you won't regret it. Piac

I've been coming here for years when I'm in Cremona for work, since 2008 now, and I can say with certainty that Hostería Del Cavo is a must if you're passing through. The lunch formula has an excellent quality/price ratio with a single risotto dish and a quality appetizer buffet at a more than fair price.

It is an excellent tavern, specialized in risottos, which are prepared in an excellent way; the cooking is perfect, not al dente. The types vary during the year and are created with imagination. You can ask for a second or third risotto, but since these are prepared at the moment, which is excellent, and a minimum quantity is needed, two people must choose the same courses; at the moment, they are already divided between the plates. It is possible to have the appetizer buffet, which includes cooked and raw vegetables and cheeses. The owner is very friendly. The prices are adequate.

Rustic atmosphere that gives a feeling of warmth with spaced tables that allow you to enjoy the evening.
A very healthy buffet is available (highly appreciated!) for appetizers with vegetables of all sorts. Risottos are certainly good but I personally did not find them excellent.
The possibility of ordering a trio is much appreciated.
Really good desserts of their own production.
Cost for buffet appetizer, water, trio of risottos and dessert 26 euros. Very honest price.

5-star service from father and son. The restaurant had been recommended to me by the hotel where I was staying, who said they made the best risotto in town.
Started with the buffet-style starters, with great variety and quality.
Then came a pumpkin risotto 🎃 and Parmesan cheese that was delicious, and to finish... a surprise...
I asked what they had for dessert, and the son asked me what I felt like? Something with fruit, chocolate, crunchy, whipped cream? I answered something with fruit and crunchy.
After a while, he brought me a delicious dessert. The concept is original, fun, and personalized for each person. Bravo!
I can't comment on the wines because I didn't drink any, but it seemed like the father was knowledgeable and had good wines in the cellar. I paid 20 euros for everything, but I did drink water.
When I checked, and since I had my helmet in hand, they told me they were also motorcyclists and wished me a safe trip.

La specialità è il risotto declinato in più ricette locali con porzioni generose. Abbiamo iniziato con un antipasto di affettati niente male. Se non avessimo preso anche le verdure al buffet all’inizio avremmo continuato con i secondi. Buono il Barbera della casa buono. Servizio e cortesia hanno allietato la cena.
