VIVES In Castelrotto

We order Cervo and Branizo Both was delicious Highly recommended this restaurant Location of this village is great

This place definitely deserves more attention, the food is excellent for the price point and the service is great. Had a chance to talk with one of the waiters and he made the experience even better.

A strange place, because right after dinner I had trouble deciding whether I was satisfied or not. Only by comparing them with other places in the area can I say that it is a bit of a tourist trap. The food has premium prices, but it's just ok. It's like watching a fake Eiffel Tower in an amusement park where you paid more for admission than for a real trip to Paris. The impression was completed by the waiter, who robotically asked all the guests (using a rote formula) where they were from. The decor and cleanliness of the room are a plus. To sum up: if you are looking for a place where you want to take a girl on a date and at the same time show her that you have enough money to spend, it will be ok. If you just want to eat well, I recommend one of the many local shelters. If you are looking for a more refined dining experience, this is not the place.

Our food was superb and was a thoroughly delightful night. All meals were so interesting and delicious. Will definitely recommend.

Wir waren hier essen während unseres Urlaubes und haben unseren Hochzeitstag genossen. Zur Vorspeise frittierte Zucchiniblüten mit quinoasalat und Erbsensuppe mit oktopus, zum Hauptgang Wildbret und gegrilltes entrecôte und zum Dessert ein tiramisu zusammen. Alles war sehr fein und sehr schön angerichtet. Es hätte ein kleines bisschen heißer sein dürfen aber geschmeckt hat es wirklich sehr fein. Das Lokal ist sehr nett eingerichtet.

Very fine restaurant, great ambience and very friendly service.

Nice place. The portion was small but delicious. I remember the staff because they were pleasant and nice. Like other reviews, the lamb was really delicious, and the pasta and octopus dishes were unexpected because I ordered them wrong, but it was a new experience and it was good. Recommended 😎❣️

Definitely the best meal I had for my Dolomites trip this summer! I came in here thinking of a casual dinner with traditional Italian food, but ended up with a semi-fine dining experience with excellent creative modern Italien cuisine, which made it such a perfect night. The atmosphere and decor is pleasant, a chic modern Alps vibe. The menu is brief but filled with surprising combinations. But the food, a great & successful modernized creation based on tradition Italien cuisine. First came the starter, beef tartar. The cheese melts like soft cream & the beef blends smoothly with the bean purée, it doesn’t taste like meat anymore but like a perfect bite of a cloud. Then came the entree, deer steak. A perfect medium rare paired with lightly grilled apple slices & lightly salty walnut purée, hence the perfect balance of meaty & fruity, hint of salty & sweetness. Then came the most interesting & innovative Tiramisu I’ve ever tried. It’s nothing like an ordinary tiramisu. It got mascarpone with cocoa, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream on the side, topped with a leafy-like baked waffle. Very lightly but elegantly sweetened to perfection. It’s truly a nice dining experience with great innovative food & mostly nice service! The young waiter kept checking in to see if everything’s ok & we had a nice chat, the owner is a very polite & friendly lady who introduced that her husband is the chef & he loves cooking. Only issue which made my experience less pleasant: I was greeted by an elder waiter, who was cold & refused to let me sit by the window (it was early dinner time, no one inside the restaurant yet) & sat me in a dark corner (where I could barely read the menu but ended up using my phone lighting, when it was still bright & sunny outside) . I am an Asian woman traveling by myself, I am not sure if this is some factor. But when other guests came in, he showed them to window seats or seats in the center, with much better lighting. I truly enjoyed the food, but its moments like this make me feel awkward for a while.

We arrived by chance looking for a quiet place to eat, we asked the main waiter what he recommended from the menu and the truth is that it was a success. Everything was perfect, the presentation was well taken care of, the flavors, and the point of the food. The spectacular tartar, the risotto. Margherita pizza was brutal the texture and finding the flavors of the tomato, etc. Spectacular desserts, super well-cared for presentation and flavors. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try elaborate and innovative cuisine.

Ottimo ristorantino al centro di Ortisei. Qualità ottima accompagnata dalla cortesia e professionalità dello staff. Bravi!
