Ampezzo Culinary Experiences & Local Delicacies
Cortina is a hub for high-quality gastronomic experiences, from Michelin-starred dining to charming traditional 'malghe' (mountain dairies) and 'agriturismi' that serve authentic, farm-to-table meals. Specialities include 'casunziei' (half-moon pasta with various fillings like beetroot or spinach), game dishes such as venison or wild boar, locally produced cheeses like 'Stravecchio d'Ampezzo', speck, and wild berries. Visitors can also find numerous 'enoteche' (wine bars) offering exquisite local and national wines, often paired with 'cicchetti' (snacks). Many establishments offer cooking classes or tasting sessions focusing on specific local ingredients. Prices for a meal can range from €30 for a casual trattoria to €150+ for fine dining.
