La crepa In Isola dovarese

Un tuffo nel passato. Annoverato tra le migliori trattorie italiane, il locale è situato in un elegante palazzo liberty. La proposta rispetta tutta l’autenticità del luogo. Abbiamo iniziato con una golosissima polpetta offerta come entree, per poi proseguire con antipasto La Crepa. Di altissima qualità e gusto i salumi, accompagnati dalle verdure in giardiniera. Un vero must il Marubino ai 3 brodi, peraltro servito in un’ elegante porcellana. Imperdibile anche lo zuccotto con gelato e macedonia di frutta. Apprezzata anche l’accoglienza e professionalità di tutto lo staff.

Un bel pranzo domenicale con le nostre mamme per celebrare con gusto la loro festa. La scelta è caduta su questo locale che sorge a ridosso di tre province: Cremona, Mantova e Parma e adagiato su quel lembo di pianura padana tra l’Oglio e il Po. Il ristorante fa parte a buon titolo del circuito de Le Premiate Trattorie Italiane e lo si vede subito dalla loro proposta che è di netta impronta tradizionale con predilezione per le materie prime locali, tra cui spiccano i pesci lacustri e d’acqua dolce, le verdure e le paste fatte in casa. I primi piatti hanno raccolto un unanimità di apprezzamento da parte di tutta la tavola: il riso all’onda con lumache e verdure era divino, elegante ed esteticamente raffinato. Stesso giudizio per i passatelli in brodo di storione affumicato con asparagi. Qualche riserva, sempre unanime, sui piatti di carne vera e propria: il bollito e l’osso buco erano infatti piuttosto asciutti, sfilacciati e poco morbidi al morso. Il mio piatto di animelle arrosto era invece delizioso. Per terminare il mio pranzo ho ordinato un antipasto a base di pesce, composto da luccio su polentina, anguilla, trota e pescetti in carpione. Molto buono. Il vino è stato una piacevolissima scoperta e di questo ringrazio il patron che ce lo ha suggerito. Si tratta de La Santella del 2022, uvaggio della valcamonica prodotto da Togni Rebaioli a base di Chiavennasca, Merlot e Cabernet Franc con un’aggiunta di Erbanno. Conto onesto e assolutamente in linea con la qualità dell’offerta.

The best in the province of Cremona!

Top place. If I were really asked for advice, I would put more mustard in the boiled meat. I would increase the level on wines by the glass. However, I would have lunch there every Sunday.

Second time in this place and I must say that it never disappoints, everything is good, the snails are highly appreciated. Every time we buy something from their shop, and it's worth it. Until next time!

Suggestive location immersed in a context that takes you to another era. Inside, a pleasant and attentive environment. However, I paid too much attention to some things (excessive requests to provide additional bottles for drinking when we had stopped at one and that was fine) and too little to others (a friend's birthday, reported several times on the reservations and nothing... forgotten.) Food that must actually be liked in terms of flavors and culture, personally too heavy for my palate. I recommend trying it at least once anyway

Exciting experience in what for me is perhaps the best restaurant visited so far. A journey into the tradition, culinary and beyond, of this beautiful and romantic land... Elegant environment, traditional and rural cuisine, amazing wine list... even the self-produced wine is exceptional! The dining room staff is prepared, refined and attentive to detail while remaining informal and friendly. "The crack" doesn't make a crack..!! I hope to return very soon. Thank you.. you are wonderful.

I had lunch a few days ago in this historic restaurant located in the main square of Isola Dovarese. The first and second courses were to my liking, the same for the very good bread. The desserts disappointed expectations, as the tart was said to contain eggnog inside, but I didn't notice it at all. Even the semifreddo was nothing special. The service seemed a little confusing and I had trouble paying the bill, as I realized immediately afterwards that a bottle of wine that we had never ordered had been added. The matter was obviously reported and clarified, but it seemed to me to be an error which, as well as being gross, made little sense, given that we had ordered two glasses of wine (not as an aperitif), so it made no sense to order a subsequent bottle for two diners. The environment didn't seem particularly heated in my area and I didn't understand the point of putting down jackets in an area where everyone passed to go to the bathroom, without any form of supervision over personal belongings. On the other hand, therefore, a positive experience for the food (especially the first one which was very good), but something to review about the service.

Reunion lunch with former university classmates, we had a very good time

Honestly, I expected a very different speed and care, overall average dishes
