Wow. What a find.
Only three reviews but we decided to make the journey to the far end of the island and this bar.
It isn’t the easiest place to find as it is part of the hotel Cipriani. You need to turn down the alley next to the Cips club restaurant and go to the gate. There is a guard that you have to ask for a pass to enter the grounds.
He was very pleasant and gave us instructions. The hotel grounds are stunning and you walk through their meticulously kept gardens and into the hotel.
You then turn left in the hotel and around the corner into the bar.
The walls are lined with photos of famous guests and the staff welcomed us and showed us to a table while a piano player sang. All in all a great first impression.
The staff were incredibly attentive and snacks were there instantly and they are quick to point out they can make any cocktail you might want.
The setting is beautiful and I would go back in a heartbeat.
One thing to prepare for is the cost per cocktail. They are about €28 each but that seemed to be the case in a lot of the top end bars in Venice. These cocktails were very good and even though we were not guests in the hotel we were made to feel very welcome. I really recommend this bar!!
Experience in May 2024:
From start to finish, every moment spent here is absolutely incredible. From the moment you arrive, you know the experience is going to be memorable. The service is impeccable, and the staff is incredibly attentive, approaching perfection.
The drinks are breathtaking, especially the cocktails! I tasted the best cocktail of my life, beautifully garnished with flowers and fresh fruit from the garden. It's a true taste journey that makes this experience unforgettable.
I learned that Bellinis aren't served at Cipriani out of season because they only use fresh peaches. This focus on seasonal ingredients demonstrates their commitment to quality.
