22/07/2025: Nice place, the only flaw was the wait, which was so long, and then we even finished what we ordered.
20/07/2025: We spent a pleasant evening at Agriturismo Il Cascinetto, a farm nestled in the greenery of the Crema countryside, offering the opportunity to dine or enjoy an aperitif in the heart of the apple orchard. A truly evocative experience, made even more magical by the evening atmosphere among the rows of apple trees, delicately illuminated by hanging lights: the setting is fairytale-like and relaxing, perfect for a break from the daily grind.
We chose the tasting menu dinner: the quality of the food is average, but more than adequate for the price. The cuisine is simple, honest, and in keeping with the rustic and authentic atmosphere of the farmhouse. The homemade cider was particularly good, fresh and well-balanced.
The service was provided by kind and helpful young women, who helped make the experience even more enjoyable.
One of the most original aspects is the possibility, on some evenings, to also attend an outdoor film screening: a truly lovely idea that enriches the cultural and convivial offerings of the place.
A few less positive points: we would have preferred the tables to be a little further apart, for more privacy and not be forced to listen—willingly or not—to other guests' conversations.
However, the most annoying and unacceptable aspect was the indiscriminate smoking permit: with the tables so close together, cigarette smoke inevitably ends up disturbing neighboring tables, ruining the atmosphere and making the experience unpleasant for those who want to breathe in the clean country air or simply enjoy the scent of the apple orchard. In such a natural setting, so attentive to well-being, one would expect more careful regulation, perhaps by creating a separate smoking area.
In conclusion, Il Cascinetto is a place worth a visit, especially for the beauty of its setting and the unique atmosphere among the apple trees. With a few small adjustments, it could become a truly perfect experience.
