malga Livan In Zoppè di cadore

We left Zoppé di Cadore for the Rifugio Venezia (trail marker 471). On our way back, we stopped by the mountain hut to buy some traditional products. Drawn by the delicious aromas and excellent reviews, we found one of the few unreserved tables (so I recommend booking!) and sampled the mountain hut cuisine. We were speechless. First of all, the ingredients were incredible, the preparation and presentation were excellent. The chef and the cheesemaker (the two brothers of the family that runs the mountain hut) are true professionals. The cheesemaker in particular is very kind, attentive, helpful, friendly, and extremely polite. The chef, a man with golden hands, creates breathtaking combinations in his dishes: agnolotti with pumpkin and amaretti, agnolotti with ossobuco and blueberries, agnolotti with polenta and chanterelle mushrooms with currants. These three dishes alone speak volumes about the research and uniqueness of this mountain hut. Delicious appetizers, from fresh and hard cheeses to cured meats, all made in-house. The first courses, as mentioned, were perfect. For main courses, we chose the boiled meat, another super-good ingredient, cooked exceptionally well (12 hours of low-temperature boiling, sous vide!), and the goat ribs... EXCEPTIONAL! We finished the meal with three coffees and a Sacher torte, also homemade, which was wonderful. We paired our meal with an excellent red wine. The quality/price ratio was unparalleled in this area of ​​Cadore, especially considering the fact that the ingredients are locally sourced. What more can we say? We wish you all the best and hope to see you soon!

Patrick and brother have been incredibly welcoming and their passion for quality food is amazing. They are passionate and knowlegeble of what makes a perfect dish, I was also pleasantly surprised of the creativity of their menu all with local produced products. Strongly suggest a visit, we will be back.

Spectacular dinner, just like the owners!

I can only give this agriturismo a 5. I went last night for dinner with my husband, three children (and our beloved dog). The locally sourced produce, the hospitality and kindness of the owners, and the delicious dishes we enjoyed deserve top marks. I absolutely recommend at least one visit to taste the delicacies on offer and enjoy the hospitality. Thank you again for everything you've done for us. We'll definitely be back.

It would make certain renowned restaurants blush, excellent from the cuisine to the very high quality cheeses on sale, beautiful landscape

Authentic mountain hut, don't hesitate to come. The staff is kind, helpful, and friendly. Congratulations, guys!

Lovely place, warm welcome, delicious food! I especially loved the ravioli, which were delicious. The strudel was light and delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent and carefully prepared dishes, very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Non eravamo mai stati in questa malga; percorso nel bosco, ricco di corsi d’acqua, tabià curati e sculture di legno dell’artista Merino. Arrivati troviamo una famiglia dalla straordinaria gentilezza e disponibilità. Piatti ricercati con prodotti di grande qualità a prezzi onesti. Vale un viaggio

Esperienza veramente vera! Mamma e due fratelli appassionati dei loro formaggi, salumi e piati tipici. Ma poi ti sorprendono con competenza e dettagli che rendono l’esperienza molto interessante…
