Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel Restaurants & Menus
Cipriani runs one of Belmond's deepest hotel dining programmes — six venues guests actually use, not a two-room template. Michelin-starred Oro under head chef Vania Ghedini, with Massimo Bottura as culinary creative director, is the fine-dining flagship in a Peter Marino gold room; book the seven-course tasting weeks ahead in high season, or try the lighter ORO Luce lunch. Cip's Club on its floating platform faces St Mark's Square and carries the Bellini-and-carpaccio ritual for sunset. Il Porticciolo handles waterside casual Italian at lunch. Bar Gabbiano is the poolside social engine with live music and the Bellini Academy. Seasonal Bacaro Dior covers cicchetti aperitivo on the fondamenta when the fashion-house collaboration is running. Ristorante San Giorgio is the quieter lagoon-facing backup when Cip's is full or seasonally closed. Plan Oro and Cip's as separate nights rather than treating one as a substitute for the other.
