Restaurant-quality dining in your chalet
I cook in chalets and villas around Cortina d’Ampezzo, below the Tofane, Faloria and Cristallo, and out towards Passo Giau and the Cinque Torri. Winter brings ski days on the Dolomiti Superski, and summer brings hikes, lake lunches and long dinners as the peaks turn pink.
Cortina has its own classic, casunziei all’ampezzana, ravioli filled with beetroot and finished with poppy seeds and melted butter, and I make it alongside Piave cheese, speck, venison and porcini from the Dolomite forests. I cook with fire and wild Alpine herbs, and pair the food with Prosecco Superiore from Valdobbiadene, Lagrein from Alto Adige and Teroldego from Trentino.
I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.

Yes. Local classics and a modern tasting menu both have a place in a Cortina stay.

Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.
