Il Violino

Cremona


Il Violino is Cremona's timeless classy option. Smooth service is key to this elegant spot, where you can peruse a menu filled with intriguing names such as 'un must have' (pumpkin and mustard risotto), 'E tu hai fagato?' (veal pâté with caramelised red onion) and 'Black is back' (inky squid and rice).
