Ristorante Ariston
About
Welcome to Ristorante Ariston, one of Cortina d’Ampezzo’s most beloved dining destinations. Nestled on Via Marconi in the heart of the town, the restaurant offers a relaxed, recently renovated setting where classic Ampezzan fare meets contemporary flair. Guests can enjoy regional Italian dishes prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a thoughtfully curated wine list featuring both Italian staples and select international labels. Ariston has been welcoming diners for more than three decades, thanks to the Piccolin family's enduring passion for hospitality and culinary excellence. With a welcoming, non‑smoking environment and amenities such as free Wi‑Fi, vegan and gluten‑free options, and wheelchair accessibility, the restaurant is a favourite for families, couples, foodies, and even dog owners. The venue opens nine months a year – from mid‑March until mid‑October and from November until mid‑January – and takes a brief seasonal break each year. Thursdays are closed, ensuring a quieter, more intimate dining experience on that day. Though reservations are not accepted, diners can secure a table by arriving during the main service hours. A visit to Ristorante Ariston promises a harmonious blend of culinary tradition, gracious service, and a vibrant Alpine setting that makes it a must‑stop for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Cortina’s gastronomic culture.
