Gastronomy - Traditional Ampezzo Cuisine

Cortina's gastronomy is a delightful blend of Ladin, Tyrolean, and Italian influences. Signature dishes include 'Casunziei all'Ampezzana' (half-moon ravioli filled with red beet and poppy seeds), 'Schlutzkrapfen' (spinach and ricotta ravioli), speck (cured ham), game dishes, and delicious strudels. Prominent restaurants like 'Tivoli' (Michelin-starred, refined local cuisine) and 'El Brite de Larieto' (farm-to-table, rustic charm) offer exceptional dining experiences. Many mountain huts (rifugi) also serve hearty, authentic dishes. Local products include various cheeses, honey, and artisanal grappas.
