I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Cremona

08/07/2026: Great place. The pizzas are super good and generous. Also, I shouldn't say this here, but since I didn't dare say it there and I'd like the owner to know: the owner, or at least the one I identified as the owner, is very classy and very beautiful.

17/06/2026: La Pendola is a place you either love or hate, and I—humblely—love it. I spotted it immediately on Google; it was attraction at first sight. It's located in a secluded alley, just steps from the center, and the white, red, and black sign and the frosted-glass door promise you've entered another dimension. The place is small, with just a few tables, and reservations aren't possible—you have to wait your turn for the experience. The decor is dated, a bit '70s/'80s, with the pizza chefs in full view. They serve a few draft and bottled beers, but the star of the show is the PIZZA. I'm a fan of it, in all its forms. This is a flat, super-crispy pizza that overflows from the plate. The ingredients are incredibly fresh. I ordered a Diamante, a combination of prosciutto and burrata. I thought I'd never finish it, but it was incredibly easy to digest. Kudos to the staff and the lovely young woman serving tables. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Cremona. Value for money, you say? No need for me to answer that.

28/05/2026: Everything was excellent, excellent service and quality dishes, highly recommended

12/05/2026: A friend recommended it to me, and I was right to listen. Everything was delicious, especially the dessert; I loved their version of sbrisolona with apple (super 😋). Plus, everyone is very kind. Since it's a very popular place, it's best to make a reservation. (*The 4/5 for the atmosphere is only because it's more like a restaurant than an osteria - otherwise, it's a pleasant, clean, and well-lit place.)

08/06/2026: Four of us had dinner on a Saturday night. The location has potential, with the playground next door and convenient parking, but the service just isn't there. The wait was incredibly long, exaggerated, and tiresome...without even a breadstick offered. The pizza was bland and the ingredients were subpar. The mushrooms tasted like nothing, and the olives were stale. Finally, I ordered a coffee, which never arrived because it wasn't marked. An experience not to be repeated.

07/06/2026: Pizza with friends is best enjoyed on the outside veranda this season.

13/07/2026: One of our go-to restaurants in the city, the quality of the products is top-notch, and the constant research into offering traditional dishes, even with a modern twist, is always a pleasant surprise. The staff is always top-notch, and what can I say...we always feel right at home! We tried the guinea fowl, it was extraordinary. The snails are always tempting!

27/06/2026: We dined here with high expectations, and from a gastronomic standpoint, they were fully met. The cuisine is truly excellent, the dishes are meticulously prepared and well-executed. The only small negative was a knife that arrived dirty, but that can happen and certainly didn't influence our opinion. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the service. At the table next to ours was a group of foreign guests with children. They spoke English, and the children played and chatted with the enthusiasm typical of their age. Nothing excessive, nothing that disturbed us, especially considering the tables are quite close together. Without anyone complaining, a waitress began repeatedly apologizing to us, clearly showing her annoyance with their company. With expressions, eye rolls, and comments repeated loudly at other tables, she continued to emphasize how much she hoped those guests would leave soon. It was definitely more unpleasant to witness this behavior than to hear the children's voices. At the end of the dinner, we simply asked to see the dessert menu. The owner, who was serving other tables with the menu in hand, put it aside, saying, "No, we only have panettone and colomba." Only after our ironic response did he finally decide to bring us the menu. By that point, however, we were no longer interested. In a restaurant of this caliber, with prices significantly above average, one expects not only excellent cuisine, but also courtesy, respect, and attention to all guests, regardless of their language or nationality. The final impression was of a place where the value of the guest is too easily forgotten. A shame, because the cuisine deserves much more than the service that accompanies it.

11/06/2026: This was a lovely way to spend our first night in Cremona. Our waiter was attentive and the atmosphere was calming after a hectic travel day. The food was amazing and we had to order a second plate of tagliatelle because it was just so delicious (note that the portion sizes were not small, it was just that good). They also have very clearly labeled allergy information which was helpful to me. We tried the tris de sorbetti as well and each flavor was great. We would definitely come back if we travel here again!

10/06/2026: Exceptional meal, I highly recommend it 👌

19/06/2026: Very elegant setting. Antic wood beams, dark blue walls, perfect lighting, great floors, this is a visual haven. Food is delicious with excellent presentation. Service is welcoming and efficient. A great moment!

07/06/2026: I did the six course tasting menu with all the wine pairings - excellent! I enjoy this restaurant over Michelin star restaurants because they don’t lose the plot! They are inspired by local traditions and ingredients and deliver delicious!

29/05/2026: Refined, elegant, contemporary, and tasteful atmosphere. Minimalist exterior with equally tasteful touches. Truly delicious food. The dishes are exceptionally balanced; the flavors are evident, yet they all harmonize on the plate. My compliments. The service was professional but lacking in empathy. The price was absolutely proportionate to the quality of the food and the location. My compliments, we really enjoyed it.

20/05/2026: I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, especially negative ones, but in this case, it's a must. Among the dishes we ordered, we also ordered beef with marrow. Once it was served, we immediately pointed out that the marrow was impossible to eat because it couldn't be scratched even with a knife. The waiter went to the kitchen to ask and returned, saying, "I don't know what to say; it's never happened." (Perhaps at least suggesting we change dishes would have been appropriate.) Once we paid the bill, we asked for the price charged for the dish in question and were informed that the full price had been added, adding, again by the same waiter, that he wasn't authorized to offer discounts. In the end, €28 for a simple steak. (I wouldn't have complained about the price if I'd been able to eat the whole dish.) The place itself is nice, but the management really leaves a lot to be desired. P.S. I would avoid using damaged and stained wine coolers just because they're logged in to Ca' del Bosco.

17/05/2026: We dined at Gomedo on Friday evening, opting for the fish menu. What can I say? The food was plentiful (three appetizers, two first courses, desserts, water, and bottled wine included in the menu), excellent quality, and priced at €25 per person, significantly lower than average for similar restaurants. The restaurant grounds are beautifully landscaped and surrounded by nature. The grounds are huge. It was an excellent experience; this is my second visit, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

19/04/2026: Family dinner, good impression, courteous and helpful staff, good food, well presented, excellent value for money. I will return and definitely recommend.

07/06/2026: Wedding in a stunning location, excellent food, very kind and smiling waiters. Amazing location, the only thing I would have preferred was that the garden and pool were a little too bare, but otherwise everything was amazing.

06/06/2026: Beautiful location, quality food, kind and efficient staff
