From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the most exquisite service in a warm and relaxed atmosphere, that immediately set the tone for the evening. Recommended to us by a local, we felt incredibly fortunate to secure a reservation and it exceeded every expectation. From the very first bite, the food was simply outstanding. The bread was beautiful, the amuse-bouche a delightful introduction, and every course that followed was part of a wonderfully flavoursome culinary journey. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, perfectly balanced, and a genuine pleasure to eat. At my request, the restaurant also selected wines for us, and their choices were impeccable - each pairing elevating the flavours of the food and adding another layer to the experience. Without exaggeration, this was easily the best meal we have enjoyed in a restaurant in the last 15 years. If you have the opportunity to visit, do not hesitate - but be sure to book in advance. It’s an experience not to be missed.

Cute restaurant about 25 minutes from Cortina d’Ampezzo. It’s located on a quiet street that probably would have great views if you sat outside on a nice day. We went here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the food. Both were very good. We started with the smoked burrata which was heavenly! They bring out bread and butter for a minimal cover, which was great to use with the burrata. I had the interesting version of a Caesar salad for dinner, my husband had the pizza and roasted potatoes. Although the salad was okay, I probably wouldn’t order it again. But everything else was tasty. My only complaint is the the wait person served me cloudy white wine. I should have refused the wine, but I didn’t want to be the “ugly American.” Prices were very reasonable.

The booked table was very small and not suitable for three people. The waiter poured red wine over me, the maitre d' didn't apologize for the problem. Other foreign tourists had to leave the table for other customers. Another waiter gave me an unordered product. The wrong place... never again
