“ The Ritorto restaurant, above Madonna di Campiglio, is very characteristic. You can eat with a splendid view of the Brenta Dolomites and in the background the peak of Carè Alto of the Adamello group. Good food and good service. Yes you can have a nice day. Nearby there is a shop selling mountain cheeses, while cows and goats graze freely in the surrounding area. ”
“ We discovered this restaurant by chance whilst on a walking trail and were in need of a lunch break. Whilst looking at the lunch menu we discovered that you can come here by snowcat for dinner. So we asked the restaurant for details and booked a special dinner for all of us (9 adults and 2 kids) for our last dinner in Madonna di Campiglio. Firstly our transport was super cool Snowcat which we all, kids and adults, thoroughly enjoyed. We did walk the trail during the day but to do this in the evening by snowcat it was quite exciting. As we were a big group, we had an almost private section with a beautifully laid our dinner set. One of us in the group is gluten free and they made a special menu just for gluten free. Each dish that came out were mind-blowingly delicious! From the soup with lots of pepper to the main course of cheeks and polenta, to the loveliest struddle dessert I've had. The portions were quite simply perfect for the amount of dishes we had. We also had the special amaro at the end which was locally made, in-house - absolutely divine. I can honestly say both the food and wine were just delicious, tasty and we had an incredible, unforgettable dinner. For the return journey we were transported with a different snowcat which was even more fun!!! All in all, one of our most memorable experience of our short vacation. We are planning to make this our annual routine now ;-). I simply cannot wait to come back and taste the summer menu!!! ”
“ We had a stop here twice during rainy day to eat something. Probably only place in this part of the Italy that has normal green tea ;). Really nice place with decent food and extraordinary desert - Nutella cheesecake. ”
“ Stunning place with really good food (delicious home made ice cream) and friendly staff. When in Campiglio is worth visiting ”
