A short private shuttle boat leads diners to this “fabulous, famous” and “formal” Italian in the
Hotel Cipriani. Recently renamed, yet no-less impressive Fortuny remains a cut above most Italian restaurants in ambience, service, and views amidst mirrors and trompe l’oeil art out on the magical terrace. . In white-peach season start with the famous blossom-scented Bellini (invented by Cipriani himself in the thirties). The cuisine is rooted in Venetian tradition, prepared with a star chef's hand, and matched with a superb wine list to boot. Staples like beef carpaccio sit alongside modern classics such as deep-fried prawns, coated in semolina flour, and of course for desert there’s some decadent offerings like tiramisu served in a bitter-chocolate shell topped by a gondola.
