Trattoria Via Vai In Ripalta cremasca

I've been frequenting Trattoria Via Vai in Bolzone di Ripalta Cremasca for about 20 years, almost always for lunch on weekends. My father discovered it thanks to an article by Beppe Severgnini featuring the best tortelli from Crema, and it's remained a firm favourite ever since. In fact, it's even improved over the years. I love it because it's a refuge from the chaos of Milan: immersed in the countryside, with a bike path along the river for an after-lunch stroll. Easy parking, zero stress. The atmosphere is refined and welcoming, refined yet homey, between the dining room and a bright winter garden. The menu is streamlined: a few local dishes, fresh ingredients, authentic flavors with a touch of creativity. Portions are just right: you leave full and satisfied, without overindulging. The wine list is interesting even for discerning palates, with Italian and international labels (especially French). Stefano knows how to advise and guide: although I'm not a great expert, I've always had a great experience. This is my first review after many years of attending: I promised it, and here it is. Congratulations on the commitment and care you put into what you do. Highly recommended!

Friendly and impeccable service, beautifully presented food, and a fantastic wine cellar! Adequately priced. Highly recommended.

We dined in a beautiful garden. Excellent food and a wide selection of wines.

I had a wonderful time. The dishes were very tasty and well-balanced, with generous portions and a quality wine selection. The location is very welcoming, creating a flowing, almost magical atmosphere, especially in the outdoor area. I really appreciated the jazz lounge music playing in the background during the meal. The staff were always helpful and friendly.

An excellent restaurant, with a wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and chef, as well as a cozy terrace from which you can admire the greenery of the backyard. But still, the dishes play an important role in the restaurant, and here they also deserve praise, and a fairly large selection of wine. Every time we find ourselves in Crema, we always drop in here for dinner.

Great place. Friendly staff, delicious food, beautiful courtyard. I liked everything very much. We will definitely come back again

Good, but honestly 90 euros for 2 first courses, 2 second courses and 2 glasses of wine is a bit excessive. Second course, beef in oil (one slice) and tongue (4 ultra-thin slices)...

chiocciola slow food abbastanza meritata. Rispetto altre chiocciole la abbiamo trovato un pó meno interessante Resta comunque una esperienza positiva con piatti molto semplici ma emblematici del territorio, e questo è quanto si richiede a una chiocciola slow food. Forse consigliamo di inserire in carta anche delle piccole rivisitazioni per dare un pó di spinta alla esperienza che cerca chi seleziona ristoranti premiati. Bravi conunque e consigliamo la visita
