Pizzeria "La Cantinetta" — Restaurant in Valle di Cadore

Grazie mille, Marcello & dad, Truly grazie mille.

This place is more than just a restaurant. It’s a feeling. From the moment we arrived, everything simply clicked. The warm welcome, the atmosphere, the food, the family behind it all.

Marcello greeted us like old friends, radiating kindness and hospitality. He made us feel right at home. His father prepares the food right in front of you, fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. I’ve had my fair share of Italian pizza, but this… this one was on a whole different level.

It’s not just about the food (though that alone is reason to come). It’s the soul of the place, the people, the love, the culture. I’m genuinely coming back to Italy just for this restaurant. That’s how special it was.

And the price? Unbelievable. Two pizzas, a bottle of wine, a bottle of water, and tiramisu… all for just €22.50. Of course, we couldn’t leave without taking two more bottles of wine home, turns out Marcello’s uncle makes the wine. It doesn’t get more local or heartfelt than that.

Thank you for this unforgettable experience. I’ll be recommending this gem to everyone I know.

P.S. A small note, make a reservation instead of just walking in. And if you’re able to, leave a tip. It’s not expected, but deeply appreciated.

Sometimes in life, you come across people who are simply different, in the best way possible. This family is...

They cheat tourists: they add a few extra euros to the cheque but do not provide you a cheque with all the listings/dishes. You count dishes+drinks+coperto in mind and understand that something does not add up in the end, that they also added something else. In the places where they don't cheat tourists, they give the cheque with all the positions listed. So, ask them for the bill with all the positions in order not to have this unpleasant feeling of being cheated in the end.

Also, the waiting time for pizza was around 40 minutes which is pretty long. The staff apologized multiple times and we felt okay with that but after paying extra after all of this... You know, it...

A super friendly pizzeria in the Dolomites! As someone who doesn’t really like cheese and tomato that much, I absolutely loved this place. They were happy to customize my pizza with less cheese and tomato, which is something I really appreciated. During my trip through Rome, Florence, and Venice, I found that most pizzerias didn’t offer this kind of flexibility.

On top of that, the staff were extremely polite — sometimes it was even the chef himself who brought the pizza to our table and kindly explained the sauces to us. As foreign travelers, we really appreciated this thoughtful gesture.

And most importantly, the pizzas here are great value for money — not...
