Antica Trattoria Americo In Lecco

Business lunch: €15 per person, but I didn't like any of the dishes. The pasta all'Amatriciana was missing tomato, and the guanciale was undercooked and tough (in chunks and with rind). The vitello tonnato was good and well-cooked, but the sauce seemed like pure mayonnaise smeared on top (as if no other ingredients were used: tuna, capers, and anchovies). The baked potatoes were tasty, but far too salty and a bit burnt. It used to be a historic restaurant for good food, but now, unfortunately, we didn't like it. Since there's not much space in the dining room, perhaps the center table, with its ornaments and an old radio on it, could be removed to create some space between the somewhat crowded diners, or to move someone to that table and widen the space between the other tables.

I've been wanting to see this old trattoria for a while now... I finally made it, and I have to say I was very pleased! The food is simple but authentic; the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is typical of a trattoria... I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to step back in time! TOP 👍🏻

A lovely little place with a very retro feel that feels like home. A warm, family-friendly welcome, excellent food! Note that the water isn't a 0.75L bottle, but a full 1L. For a mixed appetizer, a first course, a second course, two side dishes, water, and a cover charge, we spent €49! Excellent cured meats, very good casoncelli, but it was the meat on the skewers cooked in wine that was truly exquisite! The polenta in the appetizer and second course was also light and delicious. It's a matter of taste, but I would have preferred less oil and butter, but everything was still very fresh! Attentive and friendly service, clearly a family-run business. We'll be back to try the desserts, too; this time we were full but light: you can tell it's homemade food made with love.
