Trattoria Funistrada

Opened June 26th of 2000 and is now eagerly anticipating it’s 13th summer season of providing Leelanau County with great Italian food! Nestled in ‘Burdickville on the east side of Big Glen Lake, the building itself is about 90+ years old and has always enjoyed a history of being a popular neighborhood gathering place. What started as the Glen Lake Dining room, was at one time a local’s pub; became Alfono’s in the 60’s; was The Glen Lake Inn for a solid 22 years in the 70’s & 80’s and is now Trattoria Funistrada. One neighbor even fondly recalls a time in the 1930’s, hearing the gentlemen at the pub singing ‘You are my Sunshine’ while settling into bed in their family’s sleeping porch a few doors down.
