Excellent stop for lunch. The marubini, eggplant ravioli and risotto were all fantastic. The place was quiant, clean, quiet and comfortable. No reservation and the 3 of us were able to be seated immediately on a Saturday in late September, just after the market in the piazza outside the duomo was wrapping up. The staff was curtious, attentive, and prompt. The food was excellent. Will be back next time we are in Cremona!

Very nice place just steps from the Duomo. Attentive and friendly service. We had a lovely meal, the risotto with culatello was excellent.

We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch here and were absolutely delighted from start to finish. The warm and refined welcome immediately set the tone, and the service throughout was truly exceptional — attentive, gracious, and perfectly timed. Every dish we tried was of outstanding quality, prepared with care and bursting with authentic flavors that reflect the best of Italian cuisine.
Ristorante Violino is not just a place to eat, but an experience to savor. If you are in Cremona, this is a must-visit address for anyone who appreciates genuine hospitality and high-quality dining.

I can easily say it’s the best restaurant in Cremona

Locally inspired dishes with significant contemporary twists. Excellent ravioli and risotto, although one of the dishes had a bit too much residual cooking liquid, considering it was a risotto. The cooking and flavor were excellent. Impeccable service, the outdoor setting (limited but very comfortable seating), and the elegant interior. Reasonably priced.

Excellent food. Portions were rather small, prices a bit high, but the quality of the food was very good. The location was near Piazza Duomo, but not particularly special.
Here is a possible restaurant review in a natural tone:

The food was excellent and of a very high standard, although the portions were a bit small. The restaurant's prices are on the higher end, but this is partly justified by the very good quality of the food. The location near Piazza Duomo is convenient, but the location itself is nothing special.

Let's start with the ambiance. It's very elegant, from the beautifully laid tables to the exposed beams and soft lighting that highlights the paintings and other items. The waiter, and I think the owner, are very kind and professional. The dishes are prepared by the chef with great care and taste with excellent ingredients. When bringing the dishes, the waiter always explained the composition of the dish, arousing great curiosity. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended. Of course, quality and professionalism come at a price, but for us it's worth it.

Excellent quality ingredients, cooked to perfection! Everything was delicious, and the excellent advice to pair it with the right wine (which I'd never heard). I recommend the four-course menu!

Excellent restaurant,
It would be worth going to Cremona just to try it.

Excellent quality, reasonable prices. The entrees (asparagus and sea bass or asparagus and cheese) were very good, as were the olive oil tastings and the thick focaccia. We also had the egg and asparagus and eggplant ravioli with excellent sauce. They also have many other fish and meat dishes. The atmosphere is lovely, both inside and outside on the street next to the Duomo. Definitely worth a try.
