Dining
Botero
Close to the city centre and within walking distance of the Cathedral, the restaurant is located inside a beautiful historic building. The cuisine is fragrant, and the menu alternates between seafood offerings – depending on market availability – and a few more traditional recipes such as hand-pinched Cremasque sweet tortelli. The jovial welcome, streamlined service and interesting wine list (with a few "natural" offerings for enthusiasts) explain why there is a large turnout for both lunch and dinner. Better make reservations!
WebsiteTrattoria Via Vai
A pleasant rural trattoria with a charming summer dining space overlooking the garden, just five minutes’ drive from Crema. In this simple, informal setting which is both well-kept and welcoming, guests dine either in the classic-style room with green wood-panelling or in the veranda-style dining room. Wherever you eat, you’ll enjoy regional specialities such as local hams and poultry, and Crema’s famous sweet tortelli. Foie gras also features very regularly on the menu.
WebsiteLa Fortuna
Situated less than five minutes’ drive from the centre of Crema, this delightful contemporary-style trattoria boasts a modern dining room with a minimalist decor brightened by splashes of colour. The equally attractive cuisine is inspired mainly by Italian traditions, especially at lunchtime during the week (when the prices are very competitive), while in the evenings (at the weekend) dishes are enhanced by additional contemporary touches. The wine list is divided between Italian and French labels, including an excellent selection of champagnes.
WebsiteLa Locanda di Fabio e Vale
Young, informal and friendly owners Fabio and Vale welcome guests to their restaurant in Offanengo, just a few kilometres from Crema. A good choice for anyone looking for a change from traditional cuisine, the restaurant serves moderately creative dishes including a good selection of fish options (the Mazara del Vallo red prawns served with green gazpacho, caviar and lemon are particularly delicious).
