La Postumia is a charming restaurant on the outskirts of the olde center of Cremona and while may…read morenot look like much from the outside I still went here based on a recommendation from a colleague. From the moment I stepped in I had a very good feeling about it and the feeling got stronger after a very warm welcome from the man in charge. Was promptly seated and while there was no menu in English they were happy to explain everything on there. The Beatles song All you need is love was playing and while that may be true I would soon realize that one also may at least not want to live without he wonderful food at La Postumia. After having ordered I was presented with an assortment of bread as well as a small amouse bouche in the form of meatballs mixed with some sort of cheese. A great start of the dinner. Very full and flavorful wine, a Primitivo from Puglia was served by the glass. A very good wine that was full of berry flavors and that went surprisingly well with both dishes. The pasta I started with was a tagliatelle with bacon, fresh mushrooms and caramelized apples. Was a bit surprised by the apples but their sweetness mixed perfectly with the salty bacon. After this felt rather full but still went for the pork fillet with a truffle sauce. I am a sucker for truffle so could not stand the temptation. The pork was good and the sauce was great but after half the dish I was ready to burst. Would have loved to taste the desserts but was already at risk of ending up like Mr. Creosote (for those who do not understand please update yourself of pop culture references from the 80s i.e. Monty Python) so settled for an espresso. Left more than full and happy and all that at less than €30. I will most definitely be back next time I am in Cremona.
