Hi all,
We are off on a company jolly to Madonna in mid March for 5 days and have booked ourselves and clients into a fantastic hotel, but on B&B basis.
We will be looking to eat out (at nice places as it's paid for lol) each evening, and we want to book ahead as there's 10 of us.
Can anybody recommend suitable eateries, not fussed on type of cuisine, happy to try anything, and we don't need uber top level Michelin star, just good local food and good service, within a reasonable walk from the hotel Chalet del Sogno.
Any advice would be very much appreciated

That does sound nice; a meal in a different restaurant every night, all paid for by somebody else.  Can't help with suggestions though, sorry.

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

Stayed in Madonna last half term, we only ate out once (as we were on H/board basis), can't remember the name of the restaurant, but according
to Google maps it's called Le Roi,the location is about 100 mtr uphill from the pedestrian precinct, opposite the hotel Miramonti and next door
to our hotel the Alpina. I had an excellent pizza, and the other food that I saw looked pretty good, the place was packed.

I've only eaten out twice, both times I was on company business and not a jolly and the boss was being prudent  but it was still excellent and not cheap.
You may want to dial in a lunch in the nice part of the FIAT restaurant. I'll Double check name.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@neilkav, I seem to remember putting together a bit of a MdC restaurant guide once before here. I'll try and find it for you. Chalet Fiat is all a but Disney and, to me, doesn't feel quite right in the mountains. Not sure what the posh bit is like, but the 'cheap' bit was petty rubbish.
Le Roi, as per @Ian L's advice was one of my favourites. Really fun, buzzy Italian pizzeria (and more) and excellent value.

We were in Madonna last March for 5 days and would recommend Le Roi too and ended up eating there 3 times, we loved it. Going to Cortina this March and have been trawling TripAdvisor trying to find a Le Roi equivalent!

@foxtrotzulu, The Fiat restaurant is really rather good. Agree, the self service is very much of not much.
I think we had a dinner in RISTORANTE ARTINI which was rather good but possible to spend as much as you wanted.

@skimottaret the deli is part of Cascina Zeledria, which in turn is ownded by the Artini family who also own Hotel Campiglio Bellavista.
The deli is a great place for moutain honey, goat's cheeses and Italian sausage.
It is open every day during the winter season

@Campiglio, thanks for the info, I had a look in one day and looked fab but on a return visit it was closed midweek when I was keen on a panini, must have been a one off..
|

|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
It's run by one guy only.
If he's off sick, then the the deli is just closed.

The Fucolore certainly used to be excellent. Traditional, great service and didn't break the bank.

Antico Focolare is run by the family who own the little 3 star hotel opposite - the Hotel Rosegarten.
Still good - in fact I always eat there at least two or three times when I'm in the resort.
It's open all year round and you can order food right up to 11.00pm

Hot chocolate (and rum) at the bar in the Viviani refugio have to be some of the best anywhere.
