Vitium In Crema

15/12/2024: Excellent service, very high quality cuisine

03/10/2024: If the memory of a place does not fade over time, but rather consolidates to the point of becoming nostalgia, it means that that place expresses added value. Even more so if it is a hotel and restaurant, and you have come in for a fleeting snack. I discovered Palazzo Quaranta just a year ago, while I was passing through Isola Dovarese. I needed a coffee and, at most, a fruit salad - I don't eat lunch - but the bars were closed for the lunch break or rest period. I entered almost with fear, because the elegance and refinement of Palazzo Quaranta are tangible right from the entrance, I left with enthusiasm. In addition to the fruit salad, I also tasted a fantastic cake - I even took some slices home - but above all I was able to savor the friendliness, curiosity and love for the territory of the lady who served me (I assume she was the owner) , who immediately made me feel like a "guest" A total dedication without reservations, despite the many difficulties, starting from the management costs which, for a period structure such as Palazzo Quaranta, are very high. The search for quality is tangible already in the bar area, where you can also find local delicacies, starting with the "Isolini", biscuits designed (the brand was registered in 1999) and produced exclusively by a bakery in Isola Dovarese. Sooner or later I will return to Palazzo Quaranta, but as a "guest" of the restaurant. Needless to say, top cleanliness; you can eat in the bathrooms... The family that owns Palazzo Quaranta also manages the Molino Vecchio restaurant, on the Oglio river, in an ideal location for ceremonies.
