the team
Every dish has a story. Every detail tells a story about us.
Behind every dish served, every glass raised, and every smile shared at Üsteria, there's a team that embraces their profession with genuine passion and dedication. Our staff is the heart and soul of the restaurant: a united group of professionals who put hospitality and excellence at the heart of everything they do.
Beyond the soft lights, the toasts that ring out and the flavours that excite, there is us.
A team made up of people with diverse backgrounds, united by a common vision: to provide every guest with the perfect experience, in the right place, at the right time.
the brothers behind the idea
Jacopo & Nicolò sins
There was a simple yet powerful idea: to bring a new dining experience to Lecco. Not just any restaurant, but a place where you can enjoy good food and taste.
This is how Üsteria was born: welcoming, authentic, Italian to the core. A project built on people, excellence, and passion, growing every day with those who work there and those who choose us.
Salvatore Mazzola
the chef who never gives up
Sicilian, in love with cooking and the life that pulsates between the stove.
Since day one—October 8, 2022—he's been here, transforming ingredients into emotions. With Jacopo, he's built the soul of the restaurant: a cuisine built on energy, technique, and heart. "I never give up," he says. And his dishes speak for themselves.
Philip Columbus
the director who looks far away
For Filippo, Üsteria is much more than a job: it is an extension of his vision.
A manager with a clear vision and a head full of ideas, he takes care of every detail as if it were the first. He believes in numbers, consistency, and the beauty of things done well. He's the silent engine that keeps the room moving.
Massimiliano Rossi
the sommelier who tells stories with wines
Massimiliano arrived to create synergy. Between the plate and the glass, between the kitchen and the dining room.
Astute, elegant, curious: every bottle chosen is an invitation to discover something new. Because drinking well is a journey. And he is the guide.
Philip Pozzoni
hands in the dough, always
He chose Üsteria to grow. To learn, challenge himself, and improve every day. He combines the patience of a baker with the ambition of a professional.
The result? A pizza that speaks of care, precision, and determination. Reliable, dedicated, and down-to-earth.
Alessio Mapelli
precision in the kitchen
He arrived almost by chance, but he's found his niche. Between pans and smiles, Alessio brings precision and dedication.
Every service is a challenge to always do better. A kitchen assistant who knows how to listen, learn, and grow.
Philip Marchionni
the waiter who tells stories
First in the mountains, at the Ratti Cassin Refuge. Then in the city, among the tables at Üsteria. Filippo is welcoming and storytelling: in the dining room and online. He handles service, but also visual and social media communication.
It is he who gives voice and face to who we are, with words, photos and graphics that speak like our dishes: sincere, carefully prepared, authentic.
and then there are them..
the entire staff
There are faces you won't find on this page, but they make Üsteria what it is. Boys and girls who join us for a season, an evening, a moment.
Behind every dish served, every smile in the dining room, every thoughtful gesture, there's their presence. Our thanks go to them: because without a team, no project can truly grow.
