What we believe in
For us, the person is complete only when body, mind and relationship are in balance. This is where our founding values come from.
01
The authentic relationship
No goal here is ever truly individual. For us, the relationship is not an accessory to the work: it is the work itself - learning every day to see the other.
02
The synergy of the group
There is no growth without collaboration. The "we" does not erase anyone: it amplifies them. Skills are intertwined, roles are supported, the baton is passed on.
03
Depth and slowness
We live in a fast time, too. We choose to slow down when we need to understand, listen, improve: every gesture is worth more if we do it with awareness.
04
The value of trust
Here you can make mistakes without fear of being excluded, ask for help without feeling weak, be yourself without masks. It is the safe harbor from which we start again.

They say about us
The words of those who have passed
In short
What people say
Those who pass by the House talk above all about the welcome: an attentive staff who follows you from the entrance to the greeting. Many discover it by chance after the Basilica and find themselves feeling good - outdoor tables, a good aperitif and the feeling of "being on holiday". Those who know the project appreciate that behind the dish there is a place with a heart. There are generous portions and the desire to return; someone asks for an extra touch in the kitchen, but the common thread remains human warmth.

Frequently asked questions
The answers in short
Where is the Casa del Pellegrino di Crema located?
The Casa del Pellegrino is located in Piazza Papa Giovanni Paolo II 1, 26013 Crema (CR), next to the Basilica of Santa Maria della Croce.
What are the opening hours?
We are closed on Mondays. We are open from Tuesday to Thursday from 8.30am to 3pm, Friday from 8.30am to 11pm, Saturday and Sunday from 8.30am to 8.30pm.
What is Casa del Pellegrino di Crema?
It is a place of welcome and community, born in Crema in March 2017 as a Volunteer Organization (ODV) together with the social cooperative «La Luce». It is not just a restaurant nor just a social project: it is a human ecosystem made up of catering, a creative laboratory and culture, where people see each other again. The motto is "Never alone again".
How can I support the project?
You can allocate your 5×1000 to our ODV, become a volunteer (in the kitchen, in the dining room, in the laboratory or at events), offer a "suspended meal" or write to us for a donation: we will send you all the references in an instant.
How can I become a volunteer?
Fill out the form on the Insieme Project page (Volunteering section) or write to us at casadelpellegrinocrema@gmail.com: we will contact you to get to know each other. Even a few hours a month is enough.
Can wedding favors or solidarity gifts be ordered?
Yes. We hand-make wedding favors, solidarity gift ideas, decorations for events and the Pilgrim's Cake. Write or call us for a custom order.
How can I book or see the menu?
The menu of the day can be consulted online and you can contact us on 351 655 76 30 or on WhatsApp for reservations and events.
How much does it cost to eat at Casa del Pellegrino?
Our dishes have an honest price, like a good neighborhood restaurant: we will gladly tell you about it on the phone or by looking at the menu of the day online. For those on a pilgrimage to the Basilica, hospitality remains free of charge.
Can it be booked for a group or a company?
Yes: business lunches, company dinners, catering and ceremonies are organized on request, with a regular invoice from the cooperative. Write us on WhatsApp at 351 655 76 30.
What is the «Fuori Menu» podcast?
It is the House's podcast: stories of people, inclusion and community, told at the table. You can find it on our YouTube channel @pellegrinocrema.
What is the «La Luce» cooperative?
It is the social cooperative that manages the restaurant: it transforms work into a right even for those who struggle to find it elsewhere, giving structure to what the volunteers started in 2017.
