La Stüa de Michil - Simone Cantafio

La Stüa de Michil is a Michelin one-star restaurant situated in Hotel La Perla in Corvara in Badia, nestled in the Dolomites of Alta Badia. Executive chef Simone Cantafio leads the kitchen, drawing on his experience at the two Michelin-starred Toya in Hokkaido, Japan, to blend Eastern and Western culinary traditions. The cuisine focuses on creative international dishes that balance contrasts such as hot and cold, acid and fatty, and soft and crunchy textures, while incorporating forgotten vegetables and offal. The restaurant emphasizes a tactile selection of ingredients and a sensitive, gentle cooking approach that honors nature, memory, and taste. An attentive and elegant service, guided by Giancarlo, creates a warm and spontaneous hospitality atmosphere. The dining room features a refined yet welcoming environment that combines natural mountain elements with sophisticated decor. Mahatma Wine, the extensive cellar, houses over 30,000 bottles from Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and France, including a special collection of Sassicaia. Guests can enjoy guided tastings that complement the menu’s seasonal authenticity and cultural fusion, elevating the overall mountain dining experience.
