Great food, excellent atmosphere, superb value!
So we ended up, somewhat randomly, in Introbio for our visit to Northern Italy, and there we found Il Cigno in Primaluna, the town adjacent to Introbio. We arrived in the evening just after it opened, with no reservation. The place filled up rather quickly, which is a good sign, so a reservation might be a good idea. (We didn't have one, and that was no problem). We were serviced immediately by a very friendly waitress and drinks were delivered promptly.
On the table was a note which read something like "if you're in a hurry, this might not be the best place to eat, as we make everything from scratch". We found this to be a completely unnecessary warning as the food was delivered WELL within acceptable time for an evening meal. If you dont't have time to wait for quality food and atmosphere, then perhaps you really should go elsewhere. There are fast food joints in Lecco, for instance, for this purpose.
This is a place I'd recommend anyone in the Introbio/Valsassina/Lecco area to check out, we fell completely in love with the place on our first visit! We will definitely...

The pasta didn't look impressive at first glance, but the taste was impeccable, the balance of pasta and seafood was ideal, the pasta was very high quality and delicious. The wine, like everywhere in Italy, is delicious. The service is very fast...
Read moreA truly nice restaurant in a hidden gem of a location. We booked our accommodation in Primaluna, only 30 minutes away from Varenna. We had a local cheese plate (really nice selection), a green salad, and then pasta with seafood and risotto. Each one of them was really good. They also have a large variety of pizzas. The service was really nice, especially as we don’t speak Italian. Cheers to Roberto for such a nice recommendation😊 It was also very quite inside, which was...
