Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, is proud to announce the arrival
of Chef Vania Ghedini who will return to Italy to join the Michelin-starred Oro as Head
Chef after a five-year hiatus with the Alajmo brothers at Sesamo in Marrakesh. She will
be joined by internationally acclaimed visionary Chef Massimo Bottura as Culinary
Creative Director.
Vania will relaunch Oro for the season 2024, introducing exciting new menus that
celebrate all the local produce that the area surrounding the hotel and wider region
has to offer. The two will work together on the development of the menu, mixing
creativity and international influences with the traditions of the cuisine from the
Venetian lagoon.
Chef Vania Ghedini says; “My cuisine is the continuity of culinary practices
transmitted by great masters, who taught me the value of this art and the
importance of culture and knowledge. We will start from these foundations, from the
territories where I have lived in recent years, from Venice and the heritage of the
lagoon to create authentic and distinctive dishes. These are the values on which we
will build a golden experience. ORO...ora!”
“Hotel Cipriani is a perfect movie set that has rightly retained a reputation as the
embodiment of enduring Italian luxury and elegance since it first opened over 66
years ago. It’s been a journey of constant evolution melding in part the graceful art
of service with exceptional food and drinks over the decades. Restaurant Oro, with its
stunning views out over the lagoon, is the present-day epitome of this journey and
Vania and I are excited to be part of this latest chapter.” Commented Chef Massimo
Bottura.
"Massimo Bottura's creative vision combined with Vania Ghedini's passion for
cooking will establish Oro as a gastronomic destination in Venice and the world. I
thank them both for accepting this challenge and wish them all the best".
Commented Christian Boyens, Vice President & Divisional Leader Southern Europe,
Belmond.
Open at 19.30 to 22.30 on Tuesday to Saturday for dinner from May onwards.
