Hotel Cipriani Restaurant The Hotel Cipriani Restaurant is one of the most sophisticated restaurants in Rio and is patronised by the jet set of Rio. Open for lunch and dinner, the much awarded Hotel Cipriani Restaurant offers the very best of north Italian cuisine in a setting of elegant opulence. Chef Francesco Carli prepares both traditional and innovative Italian dishes. Carli previously worked in the Orient-Express Hotel Cipriani and Palazzo Vendramin in Venice and many of the dishes are the same as those on Hotel Cipriani's menu. Carli is delighted, although not surprised, with the quality of the ingredients he has found in Brazil and only supplements local ingredients with imported items, such as Italian oils and wines, when the Brazilian equivalent would compromise the authenticity and flavour of the dish.
Opening Hours:
Monday to Saturday: Lunch: 12.30pm to 3.30pm / Dinner: 7.00pm to midnight
Closed on Sunday
Dress Code: Smart Casual (for both lunch and dinner)
