Oro - Menu

Unfortunately this Cipriani restaurant changed its concept and serves just fixed menu, very special and specific. We don’t like it at all unfortunately, prefer classic Italian cuisine like this restaurant had before.

Truly artistic presentation and unique and delicious flavors! This is an experiential dinner like no other. We had everything from caviar to octopus to tortellini to edible flowers amazing! Prix Fixe menu, with terrific staff.

We visited the restaurant ORO, located inside the Cipriani hotel, for our 25th wedding anniversary. The chef Ricardo is a magician. We tasted the fish menu with the wine selection. The team is very professionnal. We won't forget our dinner.

Horrible awful food. It was a set menu with the strangest dishes that smelt and tasted horribly. My friend came back to the hotel with horrible stomach pain and couldnt leave the bathroom for hours. The chef tried to make it “interesting” but failed to do so as nothing tasted good. I have been to many fine dining establishments and michelin star restaurants but this was offensive. Only our waiter was 5 stars sadly do not remember his name just tall and blonde.

I suspect many guests dining at Oro will be staying at the superb Cipriani hotel so already feel like they are ten feet tall when they enter the lovely space where the restaurant is situated. If they aren’t they will probably have had the experience of feeling like a film star travelling to the restaurant in the hotel’’s iconic speed boat from San Marco. Either is a great prelude to the epicurean magic that awaits. As one would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant food and wine are superb with some dishes being admirably creative. Service is attentive, courteous and unrushed. `Overall a magical meal in a magical setting.

As expats living in Italy we wanted a quintessential Venetian experience without an exorbitant price tag. So, with great anticipation and high expectations we found ourselves in piazza San Marco at 7am boarding the Cipriani shuttle boat to take us to this iconic hotel for breakfast on the terrace at Oreo Restaurant. Every touch point of the Cipriani experience exceeded our expectations, from the warm greetings of the boat crew, staff we passed in the hotel lobby and gardens, through to the warm and unpretentious service by Melita and her team during “colazione”. As non resident visitors to this exclusive property we thought we may been treated like interlopers or wannabees, but the team at O...

Recently (20/6/2023), my wife and I dined at Oro, located in the historic Hotel Cipriani. The ambience is contemporary with seating limited to about 10 tables, widely spaced to ensure intimacy. Oro’s location on Giudecca affords spectacular vistas of Basilica San Marco, Campanile, and the Doge’s Palace at night. We savored the eight-course tasting menu. Highlights were a delectable trio of small dishes including fish carpaccio (sashimi grade), fish and green bell pepper prepared tempura-style entitled “unmasked”; an artful island of small, yellow/ purple/ orange/ lavender flowers seemingly floating on a sea of chilled polenta broth; stone crab in egg yolk foam topped with fragrant black truf...

I regularly visit the beautiful Cipriani for drinks/cocktails in the bar and by the pool almost every night while I’m in Venice and I’ve been to the Cip’s Club restaurant a couple of times, but this was my first time at Oro and was more than pleasantly surprised at how great the cuisine here is. The food served is modern but pays homage to Venice and the lagoon. We had great pasta and risotto naturally, but some other dishes were very interesting, unique and presented beautifully, such as the Venetian mask shaped cracker topped with flowers and there was also a savoury drink for a course that was presented in a glass that looked like a garden. Presentation here is truly top notch. My partner...

I booked a table at this restaurant in the hopes of finding a beautiful place with a bevy of Italian food selections as a Venice finale/send off with my wife. Due to user error (aka my fault) I arrived to the restaurant in sandals instead of closed toed footwear. I also made the mistake of assuming that we would have access to the a la carte menu as opposed to a fixed menu. I fully accepted responsibility for these two mistakes and apologized to the restaurant manager a crisp, seemingly no nonsense gentleman. However, after an amazing starter dish, the evening went downhill due to a few things outside of our control: 1. The rest of the food was a combination of weird and bland, where my wife...
