The story
Cacciatori, at via Moreno 30, Cartosio, 15015, Italy, is a Piedmontese restaurant in Cortina d'Ampezzo that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, recognising good-quality, good-value cooking. The Gault&Millau guide also awarded it 13 points for 2026.
The house specialty is a risotto served inside a Parmesan wheel. Gault&Millau also praises a crispy asparagus millefeuille with a delicate chervil velouté and a green asparagus flan finished with rich asparagus cream. Saltimbocca in Marsala sauce gives the seasonal menu a savoury counterpart.
The family-run business is known for its large dessert trolley, stocked with sweets across several tiers. The crème caramel is inverted fresh and served à la minute with whipped cream and berries, so it pays to save room.

History
good quality, good value cooking
The most pleasant spot is high up in the Malcantone at the Cacciatori, beside a babbling fountain in a magical garden. Here, and in the restaurant of this long-established family-run business, the very friendly staff serve not only Ticino classics but primarily French- and Italian-inspired dishes. There are no surprises, but what’s served is consistently well-executed. For example, a warm salad artfully arranged with orange and grapefruit, featuring a wild-caught lobster tail that is unfortunately a bit dry. Or a crispy asparagus millefeuille made from puff pastry, paired with a delicate chervil velouté. The green asparagus flan, served with a rich asparagus cream sauce, is also delicious. The house specialty is the risotto served in a Parmesan wheel, which we ordered this time alongside a delicate saltimbocca in Marsala sauce. The Cacciatori features a legendary multi-tiered dessert trolley, heavily stocked with sweets. We treated ourselves to an outstanding, freshly inverted crème caramel, served à la minute with plenty of whipped cream and fresh berries.
