Cremona


La Sosta is surrounded by violin-makers' workshops and is a suitably harmonious place to feast on regional delicacies such as goose thigh and veal liver with caramelised onion. The entrance is plastered with so many approving restaurant-guide stickers that you can't see through the glass.
