The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Courmayeur

A lovely stone mountain refuge at an altitude of 1,470 m serving excellent Valle d'Aostan cuisine. By day the view of Mont Blanc and the valley is magnificent, at night the moon will illuminate the meadows of the mountain pasture. Among the dishes you must try are one of the six types of polenta with local sausages, ham rolls with melted cheese and apples, and veal escalope alla valdostana, breaded and gratinated with ham and mozzarella. For dessert, the honey and cream glazed chestnuts are devilish. Nice range of local wines.

This is undoubtedly one of Courmayeur's finest restaurants. As its name suggests, this restaurant boasts a lovely sunny terrace right in the heart of the village. It also has a rustic, elegant and cosy winter dining room, and serves traditional local and Italian dishes. They are always brilliantly executed with creativity and finesse. Gnocchi and ravioli, for example, are made by hand. The Valle d'Aosta menu includes charcuterie, lard d'Arnad, fondue and carbonade.

Notice to carnivores and "pizzavores"! This restaurant specialises in grilled meat: here they all come from Italy, from Fiorentina to Chateaubriand, the noblest cuts of the beast are offered and even displayed in a window. All you have to do is choose. As for the pizzas, they are made with organic flours. For those who want to eat strictly Valle d'Aosta, don't panic, the restaurant also offers polenta concia and carbonade. There is something for everyone.
