Ristorante Da Aurelio Rifugio In Cortina d'ampezzo

The restaurant is very elegant and refined, in perfect style of the place in which it is located. The staff is friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the level does not seem to live up to the restaurant's claims and its prices. We consumed the tasting menu which simply consisted of an appetizer, a first course, a second course and a dessert from those on the à la carte menu. We didn't like at all that one of the two starters (soft egg) was served with a broken yolk (see photo)! Both were also served too cold. The first course (lamb tortelli with mountain pesto) was really excellent! As well as dessert. What most caused the restaurant to lose its level was the long wait for the second course (deer with Giau hay): we were only served when the other tables who had ordered it had also been served the deer. I understand the needs of the kitchen but I find it unacceptable to wait so long between courses in a restaurant with these demands. Top location.

One of the best dinners! Well-kept and cuddly environment, breathtaking location. Attentive, smiling and precise staff immediately puts you at ease. Each course left its mark, simple but at the same time refined. All ingredients were of the highest quality. The dessert, creme caramel with soft meringues and frozen raspberry, is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. Super recommended ♥️

We went to this restaurant for lunch with friends and children, the view you find as you arrive is simply heavenly! The place is very nice, well-kept and welcoming, the service is impeccable and the staff are super friendly! We ate and drank very well. Super recommended!

Everything was great from the food, the venue and the exceptional staff. I recommend going there

Prima volta da Aurelio, consigliati, veramente bene da amici. Molto bella la location e ottimo il cibo con materia prima di gran qualità!!! Coinvolgente l’utilizzo di fiori ed erbe del Giau nei piatti, che sono eleganti e gustosi. Molto cortesi e professionali le signore in sala. Sarà piacevole, ritornare!!!!

Excellent dinner. Perfect service. Impeccable dishes and above all correction of the menu for my gluten and lactose intolerant daughter. A guarantee on all fronts.

One of the best restaurants in the area. Aside from Passo Giau being a crazy location, Aurelio's cuisine is stellar! The service, an often underestimated factor, is excellent and allows you to fully enjoy a top-level meal

Nice place too expensive for what is given.... portions of a gourmet restaurant... that is, miserable, you wake up hungry unless you spend a fortune

We celebrated our first outing here as new parents, and the place and the people were perfect for this occasion! Annalisa welcomed us, she and the rest of the staff pampered us all evening. We ate really well, the menu is refined and simple at the same time, tasting the flavors of the mountains combined with the herbs of Giau is a unique journey that deserves to be enjoyed. The view around is breathtaking thanks to the large windows, all framed by beautiful exposed beams. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food really good!

Il passo Giau è già di per sé una meraviglia. Aggiungi una cena in un ristorante che, pur nel notevole numero di tavoli, resta curato in ogni dettaglio, con piatti davvero ben eseguiti. Conto in linea. Sosta straconsigliata
