Trattoria 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.
