Local Cuisine & Restaurants

Bormio's culinary scene is deeply rooted in Valtellinese tradition. Must-try dishes include 'Pizzoccheri della Valtellina' (buckwheat pasta with potatoes, cabbage, and cheese, dressed with butter and sage), 'Sciatt' (buckwheat fritters filled with local cheese), and 'Bresaola' (air-dried beef). Hearty stews, game, and local cheeses are also prominent. Notable restaurants include 'Ristorante La Rasiga' for traditional fare in a charming setting, and 'Agriturismo Rini' for farm-to-table specialties and local wine. Many establishments offer excellent wine lists featuring local Valtellina Superiore wines. The local amaro, 'Braulio,' is a popular digestive.
