SanBrite In Cortina d'ampezzo

This restaurant deserves two Michelin stars! All the ingredients are there for a memorable experience: a small chalet with a few tables, exceptionally fresh ingredients prepared with skill, and attentive service. San Brite is a true "farm-to-table" establishment that opened its restaurant in its former cheese dairy. The farm, where they produce cheeses, cured meats, and vegetables, is now located higher up the mountain. If you want to discover simple yet refined cuisine with Alpine flavors, Chef Riccardo Gaspari is an exceptional guide. Thank you!

We had an incredible celebratory dinner at SanBrite. Excellent food, great staff and overall a 10/10 vibe.

San Brite is a palace you must book when in Dolomites. From the staff being flexible and moving our 8 people reservation to accommodating us and serving us both aperitivo and a birthday dessert outdoors, the place is heavenly for those who are looking for a cultural immersion into alpine gastronomy. We arrived and were greeted by the manager Simone who explained to us the philosophy of San Brite. The courses are each delightful and presented with care on how is the best degustation manner. The decor is simple yet elegant and the atmosphere is calm. The views on the mountains take your breath away. Do not be in a hurry and let the team surprise you with the a special private visit of their kitchen and cheese cottage. Truly a memorable experience. P.s. the best butter & bread I have ever tasted.

Absolutely incredible! A truly top-notch experience. Succulent dishes, presented with exquisite elegance. The signature dish is breathtaking. The staff is very pleasant, and the sommelier offers excellent recommendations. I highly recommend it!

Really cool space/venue and great service but overall I felt like I was eating some dishes in a hurry because they weren’t that good. We were planning on Al La carte but were encouraged for the tasting menu. We were totally expecting to be blown away given their own farm and being in the Dolomites We ordered a bottle of wine and then a single glass for the main dish, hilarious that it was as much for that small glass as for the entire bottle prior. Worth checking out if you have disposable income but overall mediocre. Setting is outstanding so one would expect much more. Overall experience was average to lovely for a 3 hour lunch. And I’d skip the dessert and go for a coffee and snack elsewhere Highlight was the €8 bread and butter service which isn’t included in the tasting menu lol

An extraordinary experience: exceptional cuisine, very pleasant and seamless service, and a special mention for the sommelier's perfectly chosen and original wine pairing. You can taste the quality of the ingredients (their own produce, which you can discover in person in the aging cellars) and the pleasure of sharing them. All this in a magnificent setting, with a small number of tables that contributes to an intimate and welcoming experience. If you are in the area, absolutely seize the opportunity to get a table!

Phenomenal experience--the perfect place for a special occasion! SanBrite is beyond a typical dinner; they take you on a journey of insanely delicious, hyper-local, and thoughtfully curated courses. From beginning to end, every single minute is exceptionally well thought-out and executed. I can't recommend it enough!

My wife and I ate at SanBrite last week - we love good food but aren’t Michelin experienced so we had some trepidation about what to expect. The evening ended up being memorable - and full of constant surprises - mostly good. Arrival and check-in was weird - it’s not clear where the entrance is and the whole restaurant team was engaged in a team meeting in the back right up until our reservation time - so we kinda loitered and walked around peaking in windows and various doors lol. The night started with free appetizers on the porch - carrot cigars, some little ground beef tartar on crusty bread and little tacos. Very odd but tasty and presentation was cool plus we got some good (but quiet) laughs. The dining room is gorgeous relaxed alpine with lots of antlers and light/rustic wood. We stuck to turf based entrees - the duck was gorgeous but a little dry and tough. The pork the same. The rabbit risotto was amazing - creamy/light and well seasoned. Other bites were excellent - bread and butter, leek dish that was prepared at the table - tasty and the prep full on performance art. The desert ended being a long process with multiple free dishes along w/the one we actually ordered. Again -most excellent but a few misses - like the mustard flavored ice cream palate cleanser - just weird for me while my wife was fine with it. The service was a total team effort with at least 5 making regular visits to our table - two in particular had nice senses of humor that help balance some of the expected pretentiousness. Overall the service and atmosphere 5/5. For the food we left very full - but the inconsistencies with the mains and over the top bill (~$420 for two and no wine) leaves u rating it a 3/5. In the end - after 3 and a half hours - we looked at this experience like going to Theater in London or a concert at Fenway Park - it was high end performance art - a rare life event we felt fortunate to experience.

So wonderful…. Hard to describe what a great experience we had. Food, wine and service were exquisite. The views are also hard to beat. If you can, don’t miss this.

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The restaurant has the perfect vibe - warm, cozy, intimate, and effortlessly cool - which immediately set the tone for an unforgettable meal. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Alpine Fizz, and it was one of the best cocktails we had during our trip through the Dolomites. Then came the food...and honestly, I don't even know where to begin. The homemade bread and butter? Unreal. The beef tartare? Incredible. The zucchini somehow stole the show. And I'm still dreaming about the mushroom bone broth, trout, and pasta. Every course somehow managed to outdo the last. Just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, our waiter, Luca, took us downstairs to the cheese cellar where they make their own cheese. He walked us through three of his favorite selections (which quickly became three of my favorites) as a palate cleanser before serving us a popcorn ice cream dessert that was unlike anything I've ever had. It felt so personal, thoughtful, and unlike any restaurant experience. A huge shoutout to Luca, who truly made the night unforgettable. He answered every question we had, gave thoughtful introductions to each dish, and never missed a single detail. It was impossible to ignore his passion for the food and the restaurant. To top it all off, the chef and owner came over to say hi and chat with us, which made the evening feel even more special. If you're visiting the Dolomites and don't have SanBrite on your itinerary, fix that immediately. This wasn't just dinner, it was an experience we'll be talking about for a very long time.
