25/09/2025: Had dinner here. The pasta was so good. Gelato was also good. The wine was too strong for me, I was not able to finish the smallest jug.
Reserve a table before you go, it is busy place.
21/09/2025: We were staying about 15 minutes away with not much nearby, so decided to head into Cortina d'Ampezzo and found La Tavernetta di Cortina on Google. I’m really glad we tried it — we had a lovely meal here!
The restaurant is just a few minutes’ walk from the main high street, so nice and central. There’s no parking on-site but plenty of car parks nearby, so it’s not a problem. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, and the decor inside is really traditional and cosy.
The staff were welcoming and, even though it was fairly busy, we got a table straight away. There’s a €3 coperto per person, which is pretty standard and didn’t bother us.
Service was quick and friendly — we were seated right away, given time to choose, and the food came out promptly, which was ideal after a long day out walking. Drinks and mains were a little on the pricey side (e.g. €7 for a medium Coca-Cola), but the pizzas were very reasonably priced and there was loads of choice.
We’ve been looking for a proper Neapolitan-style pizza with that soft, puffy crust (a lot of places nearby serve thin, flat ones), and these came very close. Freshly made, wood-fired, and absolutely delicious! If you’re in the area and fancy a good quality pizza spot, I’d definitely recommend La Tavernetta di Cortina.
