This is a busy spot in Cortina and their menu looks like it has a nice array of offerings. To be safe, make a reservation ahead of time, as plenty of people were turned away once the dinner rush hit. Some had called in 30 minutes before arriving and were seated.

We had a reservation so were seated promptly, but inside where it is about the temperature of an oven. The only way this was made semi-tolerable, was by immediately visiting their restroom where it is actually the temperature of the sun (or hell, your choice), and without any toilet paper or soap. By the time you return to the main dining room, it feels practically cool by comparison! The staff are clearly overtaxed, but they were friendly and trying their best to attend to everyone. I had the carbonara, which was fine. It's got an extensive menu and generous portions.

We had a great dinner here! We arrived at 6:30pm right when they opened without a reservation and…read moregot a table with no problem. Our waiter spoke English, Italian and German, and their menu is in all 3 languages. They recommended the Dolomiti pizza, so we ordered that and the Diavola. Both were delicious. The pasta we saw people order looked great as well. The house wine is cheap and good. Reasonably priced, we paid 40 euro for a sparkling water, 2 house white wines, and 2 pizzas. They have indoor and outdoor seating with small and large tables.

The service was great as well. One of the best parts about this restaurant was the display of real Olympic torches (maybe around 30 or so) scattered throughout the restaurant.

Service is friendly if a bit lax. But I appreciate that they don't rush you out. Portions are large and cheap for a New Yorker. We did 3 side salads, 2 pizzas and 3 pastas along with wines for 3 people. Everything was good. Sure, you can find better pizzas and pastas elsewhere but for good meal in a decent location, you can do worse.

Could have been a good dish. The artichoke, ham, mushroom was mediocre. The toppings tasted cheap and the dough was flavorless. I regret ordering so much.

I guess that's what you get when you don't make a reservation with the good restaurants.

Popped into town after a day of hiking nearby and were looking for something simple for lunch…read more There's a strip of restaurants near the parking lot and we ultimately chose this one as it seemed busy with a large menu. We grabbed the soup of the day-orzo-which needed much much more seasoning. Grabbed one of their pastas, which was fine (better than the orzo), as well as a pizza that was probably the best part of the meal. It's unclear to me who gets baskets of bread as it seemed very random. The seating system is a mess. You get a number and they call out numbers randomly if you're waiting outside. Our number was certainly skipped but when I asked why I was told it had been announced a bunch (which I have a tough time believing since we heard all of the other numbers and were sitting immediately outside...). Once seated, the service itself leaves a fair amount to be desired as it seems like they're too busy for their own good. The bathrooms were nice, which was convenient. And there was free Wifi, which made the 15-20 minute wait not terrible. There aren't so many options in the immediate vicinity so I'm not sure how the others compare. Ultimately, it was a fine choice.

We were looking for dinner spots in the area and we walked by Pizzeria El Bronsin di…read moreBelliero/Massimo. Even though they don't have many Yelp reviews, they did have strong reviews on Google so we decided to stop by. Ambiance (3/5): This quaint pizzeria is a nice spot for a casual meal. We were seated at a table for two. Service (3.5/5): While the restaurant was pretty busy, we were seated quickly. Typical European service. It does the job but isn't terribly friendly or efficient. Drinks (4/5): Since we were getting pizza, beer serves as a nice compliment. They had several local beers so this is what we went with. Food (4/5): While they have more than pizza on the menu, since it's a pizzeria, you know what we ordered. They had 20+ options so we had plenty to choose from. The menu was in Italian so we used Google Translate to help us out. Which created a hilarious situation. They have a pizza called the porker. However, in Italian, pork means both pork and a bad word in Italian. Google translated the pizza as the bad word. So, naturally, this is what I went with. My partner in crime got the Americano which comes with wurstel (sausage) and French fries. I'm an American and they don't serve pizza like this in the States which is comical. It is, however, a popular choice in Italy. They also gave us some complimentary breadsticks. The pizzas were delicious and large enough that we took some home. And reasonably priced which is always nice. If you're looking for some good pizza in Cortina D'Ampezzo, El Bronsin makes for a good choice.

Wait staff, was a bit rude with foreigners, which is something I struggle with, especially if you're working in a tourist town, but otherwise, had a great meal, and enjoyed our visit. I got the spinach and ricotta pizza, which was big for a personal pizza, but I made it work. My fellow diners got a salad, which was enormous, and ravioli, which I'm told were tasty.
