Trattoria Corte Fiorina — Restaurant in Lecco

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and the experience left me absolutely delighted! From start to finish, it was a culinary journey that I won't soon forget.

Let me share some highlights:

🍴 Risotto with Pumpkin Flowers: The risotto was an absolute showstopper. It not only tasted divine but was also beautifully presented. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and the pumpkin flowers added a unique twist. Bravo!

🍝 Tagliate Perfection: The tagliate was cooked to perfection – tender, flavorful, and utterly delicious. It's one of those dishes that makes you savor every bite. I couldn't get enough!

🍰 Decadent Desserts: The desserts were the sweetest ending to a fabulous meal. The creme brulee was heavenly, and the cheesecake was an absolute winner. They know how to satisfy a sweet tooth!

But here's the kicker – I happened to dine with an ex-mayor from the Treviso region, and even they were blown away by the meal and the impeccable service. That's saying something!

Speaking of service, the staff here are nothing short of amazing. Not only are they attentive and professional, but they're also wickedly funny. They added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.

Overall, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that's perfect for special occasions or simply treating yourself to exceptional cuisine. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed!

Bon appétit! 🍽️✨

Ps I will be...

Beautiful food in a beautiful courtyard with great service from Julia.

Why the one star? The older woman inside behind the bar who I presume was the owner/manager. Unfriendly, unyielding and flat out racist. We simply asked to move our table a few inches to get more into the shade for refuge from the scorching August sun (there was plenty of room and no one around us) and she yelled out “NO!!” from inside. The iron chairs were absolutely scorching.

She was working indoors, behind a glass window, right in my line of sight and every time my eyes happened to meet hers, she was glaring at us with pure judgment and hate. She sent another server out mid meal to ask us where we were from. He promptly returned inside and reported to her our country of residence and I could see her making hand gestures to her face indicating our appearance and making comments.

Blatant prejudicial...

Beautiful spot that sadly prejudiced against solo travellers. Likely thinking they get more money from couples and groups. However the night they turned me away for being on my own I went on to spend more than an average couple elsewhere. The server was not kind or gentle about dismissing me either which was entirely unnecessary.

My suggestion: have a minimum table spend for busy nights and allow solo travellers who are after treating themselves to dine with you rather than rudely turning them away. A real shame as the menu and location seemed to...
