La Casera In Belluno

25/03/2025: In the centre of Cortina Village, we now understand that this venue is legendary (there is even a shot of it in the old Bond Movie For Your Eyes Only). We stumbled upon it one evening and slipped into its side bar/café for drinks. Lovely wood panelled ceilings, chic old bentwood chairs and of course white starched linens. What a lovely, charming and kooky , classic Italian experience, made sooo fabulous by its gorgeous Gentlemen staff/waiters dressed in white jackets and black bow ties. The Negroni were generous pours, beware lol! And we were served an abundance of nibbles, fabulous juicy green olives. The Customers: Enter a senior couple with their white fluffy pooch named Max that the “Gentlemen” made a fuss over, clearly a regular and we loved that his chic owners colour matched Max with their outfits. Clearly the staff here are adored and were met with such warmth from Customers and locals. Charming. We love loved this place and even spent an entire afternoon outside people watching, mountain gazing and sipping coffee and of course more Negroni. When the sun started to fade, we were generously moved to another comfortable seat. We are so grateful and will never forget this experience. Thank you so much. Iconic.
