 imple, elegant furnishings combined with polite, attentive service
and culinary delights based on reinterpretations of typical Venetian dishes created the
'Cipriani way' are the ingredients that have gone into the success of each and every one
of Giuseppe Cipriani's restaurants. Still today, they make the Locanda Cipriani in
Torcello a cut above the rest. |
|
 nlike the triumphant landscapes surrounding the churches and the
blooms in its garden, the Locanda Cipriani, designed as a rustic maison d'hote,
receives its guests in a simple, almost austere environment dominated by wooden ceilings,
terracotta bricks covering the walls decorated in Venetian bas-reliefs, and old copper
pots and pitchers hanging here and there. |

|
 he bar is located at the entrance to the Locanda. Here you will find a large fogher
(a typical rustic fireplace) and a crackling wood fire in winter. |

|
|
|
|
| he restaurant has two large rooms, both with large windows
overlooking the garden. Diners can sit on the outdoor terrace in summer. |
|
|
|
|
| he garden is open from the
beginning of spring right through to autumn. The blooming daisies, tulips, roses and
dahlias, the golden pomegranates and the fiery red of the American vines combine to
provide beautiful surroundings for the restaurant. |
|
|
|
|
| he kitchen, headed up by chef Renato Ceccato, not only serves dishes invented by
the Cipriani family and now considered classics - such as 'carpaccio' of raw meat and John
Dory 'alla Carlina' - but also offers a whole range of dishes featuring fish, vegetables,
home-made pasta and rice. |
