If you are staying in a fair sized resort there will be plenty of good places to eat out. You are spoiled for choice for great lunches on the mountain so maybe dinner is not so critical. I prefer the convenience of dinner in my hotel, again the food is usually good in most hotels, a little research will help your choice. You are in for a treat.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Got to be down to personal preference at that end of the day, but even the smaller resorts like Aleghe (where a number of us sH's unexpectedly found ourselves earlier this year) have a plethora of good (and reasonably priced) eateries to choose from. My preference would be to eat out - unless it's an isolated hotel of course.

Depends on the resort. Some villages are very small and may only have a couple of options. In bigger resorts you'll be spoiled for choice. If you can name the resort/s you're interested in, we can probably give you a better idea and possibly some recommendations too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We haven't yet finalized our choice of the resort, but Selva is a very strong contender.

alenchic, As others have said, if you are staying in a reasonably large resort (eg Selva in Val Gardena) there will be plenty of places to eat out in the evening. Do you know yet which airport you will be flying into from the US? The nearest main international airports for the Dolomites are Innsbruck in Austria (convenient for Val Gardena and neighbouring resorts on the NorthWest side of the Sella Ronda), Verona (for resorts on the Northwest and Southwest side of the Sella Ronda, or Venice (most convenient for resorts on the Eastern side of the Sella Ronda). Are you intending having a hire car or using coach or taxi transfers from the airport to resort? Once you've decided on your arrival airport we can suggest convenient resorts and transfer options.
If you've not been to the Dolomites before you are in for a treat! Stunning scenery, superb mountain restaurants and the skiing ain't bad either 
Edit: I just saw your post that you're considering Selva. I've stayed there twice, once in the Hotel Armin on Half Board (which has excellent food by the way), and once on B&B eating out well at different places, so both options are feasible.

I have done it both. I really dont know whats better....
However i prefer an appartment. Make my own breakfast in the morning , and visiting almost every piza - restaurant in the afternoon....i love pasta and pizzas so my opinion is not the most apropriate. But whatever you decided you will enjoy eating....

Thank you all! It sounds like both options would work. Alastair Pink, I appreciate your insight into Selva specifically. It's good to know that you had a great experience with both options in Selva.

FAQ
. I am looking for advice from those of you who have vacationed in the Dolomites region in the past. Would you recommend booking half-board or sticking with a breakfast-only option when staying in that area? When skiing in France and Austria in the past couple of years we usually opted for breakfast-only and then tried different restaurants each night for dinner. Is that doable in Italy, or is it better to choose half-board and hope that your hotel restaurant serves good food? Thank you!
