ORO Venice Hotel Cipriani

Belmond unveils a new gastronomic chapter at Hotel Cipriani in Venice, as Chef Vania Ghedini takes the helm of ORO, the property’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Appointed by culinary creative director Massimo Bottura, Ghedini crafts a dining experience that celebrates the unique ingredients of the lagoon, Veneto, and beyond, all within a space reimagined by celebrated architect Peter Marino.

At ORO, each dish is complex in execution yet simple in presentation, harmonizing texture and flavor. This season, Ghedini introduces ORO LUCE, an à la carte menu inspired by Venice’s heritage and the conviviality of Italian living. The restaurant also unveils a new chapter with interiors reinterpreted by Peter Marino, blending the spirit of La Dolce Vita with the glamour of the 1950s and 1960s Art Biennales.

Set on the water’s edge on Giudecca Island, the restaurant offers panoramic views across the lagoon, with light that shifts throughout the day. Ghedini’s cuisine infuses Venetian lagoon flavors with Moroccan influences, reflecting the years she spent in Morocco before returning to Italy.

A Dining Experience Rooted in Place

Guests can savor dishes that highlight local produce, from herbs grown in the hotel’s own garden to seafood sourced from the lagoon. The menu reflects a deep respect for regional ingredients, presented with contemporary flair.
