The story
Dolada has stood at Via Dolada 21 in Alpago, in the province of Belluno, since 1921 — a longevity that speaks for itself in a region where mountain traditions run as deep as the valleys. The address is more than a location; it is practically a name, the restaurant and the road sharing the same identity across a century of hospitality.
At the centre of Dolada today is chef Riccardo De Pra, whose name appears alongside the restaurant's own as its defining presence. The kitchen he leads has earned the recognition of Gambero Rosso, one of Italy's most authoritative dining guides, which awarded Dolada 2 Forks — a mark of consistent quality and a reason this table draws guests from well beyond the Veneto.
Dolada operates both as a restaurant and a boutique hotel, making it a destination in the fullest sense. Dinner is the anchor of the week, with the restaurant open from Wednesday evening through to Sunday lunch — a schedule that reflects a deliberate, unhurried approach to hospitality rather than volume. A private room is available for those seeking a more intimate setting.
The combination of a historic address, a chef with a clear identity, and a landscape that frames every visit gives Dolada a character that guides like Gambero Rosso recognise and that guests tend to remember long after the meal.
