Ristorante 5 Torri In Cortina d'ampezzo

Ristorante Pizzeria 5 Torri (Cortina d’Ampezzo) This is one of those busy, central Cortina places that works for what it is: a lively, high-traffic restaurant where you can get a very satisfying pizza and a solid mix of Italian and local Dolomite classics without overthinking it. It’s not a quiet, romantic, slow-service trattoria. It’s a “people come in hungry, the kitchen moves fast, the room stays full” kind of spot — and if you accept that, it can be a great meal. Pizza is the main reason to come. The style leans classic and generous: thin-to-medium crust that holds up, good bake, and toppings that don’t feel skimpy. The best pizzas here are the straightforward ones where you can taste the balance: margherita/marinara types, simple cured meat options, and vegetable combinations that don’t overload the base. What I liked most is that it tastes like a real pizzeria pizza, not a fancy reinterpretation — comforting, satisfying, and made to be eaten hot right away. If you’re sharing, order one pizza per person (or close to it) because the portions are “Cortina hungry.” What makes 5 Torri more than just a pizza stop is the broader menu. If someone in your group wants something more “mountain local,” this is a good compromise restaurant because it also leans into regional comfort food. Dishes like casunziei (the beet-filled local pasta), canederli (dumplings), and other hearty alpine plates fit the setting and are exactly what people crave after walking around town or coming off the slopes. It’s also a good place to end with dessert if you’re into traditional sweets — apple strudel is a common favorite and matches the northern Italian vibe. Service and atmosphere: expect fast pace. Staff are usually efficient because the dining room runs busy, especially during peak season and dinner hours. That can feel a bit “in and out” if you’re expecting laid-back hospitality, but it’s also why your food comes quickly. The room has that warm, chalet-style feel that suits Cortina — casual, cozy, and very “tourist town central,” with a lot of families, groups, and travelers. Value in Cortina is always a tricky topic because prices are generally high across the board. Here, the value is best when you order what they do best: pizza and the classic local staples. If you’re trying to make it a long, multi-course fine-dining night, it can feel less special. If you want a reliable, filling, crowd-pleasing meal in the center of town, it does the job well. Bottom line: a very good, dependable Cortina pick for pizza (and a smart option for mixed groups because there are local dishes too). Go hungry, expect a lively room and quick service, and you’ll likely leave happy.

Great alpine atmosphere in the centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Friendly staff, short waiting time, and the price/value is good

Excellent restaurant, recommended

Good pizza, but they were very busy and the service wasn't great. Good house wines.

A nice, down-to-earth pizzeria in the center of Cortina. Extensive menu, quick and friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

We had four-cheese pizza with speck, beef with potatoes, and Greek salad. Everything was delicious. I would definitely go back to try more things!

Welcoming, excellent service and a wide choice of first courses and pizzas

As a space it is very large so there is a good chance of finding a seat it is a very warm and welcoming place and the food is very good and filling

I waited less than 10 minutes, but it was worth it! It seemed busy because there were so many customers, but the staff was friendly, and the food wasn't too salty, so it was delicious! The pasta noodles were cooked just right for Koreans :) It was delicious... The food was also reasonably priced. The indoor table fee is €2.50 per person!

Pizza was really good, but unfortunetally service was unfriendly. No smile (except of one server), we have to ask for for check multiple times, they just didnt care... Its our second visit after few months and it hasnt changed a bit. We will go elsewhere next time.
