Trattoria Funistrada

Great food, and staff are awesome! Nice comfortable atmosphere.

Hands down one of my new favorite restaurants of all time. We came from Detroit for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Everything was literally the best I have ever eaten. The service was some of the best I have ever experienced, including giving my wife a tasting of the wine to see what she prefered, and we ordered bottles of it for home as well (Late Harvest Riesling). They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambience of the setting was amazing. The energy and life of the staff radiated through everything. It felt like coming home with a welcoming family to greet you coming in the door. We had the prosciutto asparagus as an appetizer and the flavor was so good I almost shed tears. My wife got the anniversary chicken, which was the best chicken we've had in our lives. No Joke. The Bistecca Balsamico was heaven of meat. The outside was a perfect crunch of amazing, the inside done to perfection, and the reduction was a wonderfully tangy offset to the candied steak. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I wish I lived closer but that might be dangerous as I would want to eat here like 15 times a month. I cant wait to come back up and experience this amazing restaurant again. I cannot stress that this is one of the best places to eat in Northwest Michigan. I know I will be setting a reservation as soon as we can escape up there again. My hats off to the entire staff for making it such a memorable night. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Honestly for the price this is very good Italian. It's on the expensive side yes but considering current food prices it isn't that outside of what we would consider normal. Menus can change but we had some steak and a pasta and both were great, the drink choices for cocktails also had a good variety and were well made. Would recommend to anyone in the area, easily top 3 Italian restaurants I have been to personally.

A fantastic Italian restaurant with amazing food! Everything from the appetizers,main course and the dessert was by far the best I have ever had. Our server Jodi was a breath of fresh air, a true professional!A big thank you to the chef as well! We found our new favorite Italian place!

Thanks to Trattoria Funistrada for squeezing us in when a storm knocked the power out on our dinner plans for our anniversary week dinner (yes, that's a thing) while staying on Glen Lake. Literally the best chicken saltimbocca ever. The hostess and wait staff were very accommodating and the chef stopped by to check on us. Homemade desserts are a must try. I'd recommend reservations because we got there right when they opened....

We enjoyed our first visit to Funistrada. Our server recommended the veal dishes, so I ordered Veal Saltimbocca and my wife had the Lemon Artichoke Veal. Both meals were very tasty. The restaurant is cozy and tables are close together, so if you're covid cautious you may not be comfortable.

Great service, very helpful server who provided us with many suggestions for our first time dining at Funistrada. Cocktails were excellent, followed by a great dinner (Salmon Puttanesca, and Anniversary Chicken). Loved the atmosphere and we plan to return, so many great choices on the menu!

First time at Trattoria Funistrada. Outstanding Italian cuisine! Salmon Piccata is to die for. Veal Parm incredible and Veal Saltimbocca was - according to my friend - “Stupid good”. The Pecan “Goodness” is “OMG” great. Excellent wine list with reasonable pricing. This is totally worth the drive. If you love a charming atmosphere, friendly staff and incredible Italian food, this is your place!
