At a glance
ORO Restaurant at the Belmond Hotel Cipriani offers a refined dining experience on Giudecca Island, just a short boat ride away from Venice's historic St. Mark’s Square. Renowned for its Michelin-starred status, the restaurant blends a contemporary yet classic ambiance crafted by accomplished architect Peter Marino. Inside, the design echoes the elegance of Venetian life with influences from the Art Biennales of the 50s and 60s, creating a sophisticated setting that complements its culinary artistry.
The kitchen at ORO is led by chef Vania Ghedini, who crafts dishes that are both complex in execution and simple in presentation. The cuisine takes its inspiration from the rich bounty of the Venetian lagoon and the greater Veneto region, offering a profound connection to local flavors. Diners can expect a journey through diverse textures and tastes, with options that include an exquisite seven-course tasting menu or selections from a carefully curated à la carte menu.
ORO presents an immersive dining experience that is as much about the scenery as it is about the food. Overlooking the tranquil lagoon, patrons enjoy an ever-changing vista as the evening light shifts across the water. This dining scene is enhanced by the restaurant's emphasis on quality wine pairings, guided by an in-house sommelier, which can include non-alcoholic options.
For those seeking a daytime gastronomic treat, the ORO Luce lunch menu offers a different, more casual experience, enriched by the conviviality of Italian dining. Celebrating the simplicity of traditional flavors, it includes dishes that encourage sharing and indulgence in the true spirit of Italian hospitality.
