Review on Fortessa Lucca 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware 5Pc Place Setting Service For 1 by Bill Pulse

The Fortessa Lucca Faceted Brushed Gold 20-piece flatware set is not, sadly, the gold holiday flatware of my dreams. These things are subjective and you may feel differently.To my eye, the brushed gold was not brushed in appearance but merely dull. I had hoped it would be brighter and have a brushed metal appearance rather than merely a matte finish.I found the proportions of the pieces to be odd. The knife was very large, larger than Euro, while the teaspoon felt very small. I like departures from the traditional, but the sizing of the individual pieces made the place settings seem incohesive.The pieces are also very heavy. While I like some heft to good flatware, these felt unrefined and klunky in hand, and I feared the heavy handles near my good china.Returned.
