Each Venetian and classic Italian dish is meticulously crafted using seasonal, premium ingredients and produce directly flown in from farms across Italy, infusing an authentic touch. The menu proudly features signature items from the original Harry’s Bar, including risotto primavera, baked tagliolini, and vanilla crème meringue. Cipriani also stands renowned for introducing iconic dishes like Carpaccio alla Cipriani, which came to life in 1950, and the legendary Bellini cocktail, conceived in 1948.

As the Cipriani legacy continues to thrive, it captures the hearts and palates of individuals worldwide. Cipriani Yas Island, in particular, stands as a radiant gem in the culinary world, inviting all to experience the enchantment of Italy’s rich gastronomic heritage.
