Lecco

Al Quattro

Piazza Mario Cermenati is home the best bartender in the city, Andrea Magni. From classics to signatures, Andrea will impress you with his tecnique and flavor balance. Best visited around aperitivo time, don’t miss the homemade pizza.

Sunflower

The most popular cocktail bar in Lecco, Sunflower attracts a wide range of customers looking for a great night out. Sunflower has a stunning lakeside view coupled with well-mixed drinks.

Soqquadro

Soqquadro offers a charming lakeside location with a wide range of dishes, from spanish appetizers, burgers, to paella to great Italian first courses such as pasta alla Norma. The Spanish influences, in particular to Catalan cuisine, derive from the personal experience of the owners, who, before starting Soqquardo, lived for over thirty years in Cadaques.

Filet

Osteria Filet is a charming, traditional restaurant centrally located on Corso Giacomo Matteotti in the heart of Lecco, occupying the historic space of a renowned former butcher shop and deli. Staying true to its rich culinary roots, the eatery focuses on authentic, rustic Brianza and Valtellina cuisine, with exceptionally sourced ingredients taking center stage. While diners flock here for premium charcuterie boards, knife-cut beef tartare, and slow-cooked meats like pork shank braised in beer, the restaurant is incredibly well-regarded for its traditional pizzoccheri. This hearty, soul-warming Valtellinese dish of short buckwheat pasta is expertly prepared and generously layered with melted raw milk mountain cheese, potatoes, cabbage, and rich butter.

L’ek

L’ek is a contemporary bistrot at the center of Lecco and is easily the standout of Via Roma. The dinner menu brings things to the next level, with beautifully executed dishes focused on local ingredients. A must is Albese of veal fassona and hazelnut.

Ristorante da Giovannino

Da Giovannino is located at the most beautiful position of the Eastern branch of Lake Como on the Malgrate lakefront. This elegant but unpretentious restaurant offers a spectacular panorama all year long with an inventive cuisine that emphasizes local products such as brisaola, bitto and lake fish.

Ristorante Pontile Orestino

For a no-frills, old school Lecco dining experience, Pontile Orestino may be for you. Just don’t expect to see anyone younger than you dining here. Expect great local Lombard dishes including an epic “bolliti misti” served from a custom trolley.

Bottega del Maiale

As the name suggests, pork takes center stage here in the form of Gran Suino Padano, Cinta Senese, and Patanegra, among others. The shop also puts together excellent charcuterie boards, pairs them with fine local cheeses, and stocks a decent selection of natural wines.

Torchio

Tucked away in a narrow alley steps from the lakefront, Torchio Moderna Osteria occupies the stone rooms of an old cellar in Lecco's historic centre. The menu changes frequently with the seasons, spanning meat, freshwater fish, vegetarian dishes and foraged ingredients. Torchio is a destination for those who enjoy original dishes paired with a carefully chosen selection of Lombard wines from small producers.

Yimi

Yimi Food & Bubble Tea is Lecco's go-to spot for Asian street food, drawing on flavors from across Korea, China, and Japan. The menu spans rice noodles, bowls, baozi, tteokbokki and crowd-pleasers like Korean fried chicken and cheesedogs, with halal and veggie options also available. A wide selection of bubble teas, from classic milk teas to fruit teas and sparkling sodas, rounds out the experience.
