About Cipriani Mayfair, London

Nestled in the heart of Mayfair at 23-25 Davies Street, Cipriani Restaurant Mayfair is a celebrated destination for Italian fine dining, embodying the legacy of the Cipriani family’s iconic Harry’s Bar in Venice. Established in 2004, the restaurant blends Venetian tradition with London sophistication, attracting a global clientele of celebrities, business elites, and luxury enthusiasts.

Its reputation for timeless elegance is reflected in its high-gloss wood interiors, black-and-white jazz photography, and crisp linen tablecloths, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant upholds the culinary ethos of its Venetian roots, serving recipes unchanged since the 1930s, such as the famed Carpaccio and Bellini cocktail, both invented by founder Giuseppe Cipriani Senior.

Cipriani specializes in classic Venetian and Italian cuisine, emphasizing simplicity, premium ingredients, and meticulous preparation. The menu features iconic dishes like Tagliolini Gratinati al Prosciutto (pasta baked with ham and cheese), Veal Milanese (breaded veal cutlet), and Carpaccio Alla Cipriani (thinly sliced raw beef with a light sauce). Seafood dishes and handmade pasta are highlights, paired with an extensive wine list showcasing Italian vintages. The legendary Bellini—a blend of Prosecco and white peach purée—remains a must-try, alongside other Venetian-inspired cocktails like the Negroni and Aperol Spritz.

The restaurant exudes understated luxury, with plush velvet seating, marble floors, and polished service from staff clad in crisp white jackets. The ambiance is ideal for romantic dinners, business engagements, or special celebrations, striking a balance between vibrant energy and intimate sophistication. A strict smart-casual dress code reinforces the upscale atmosphere: tailored attire is required, with prohibitions on shorts, tracksuits, and flip-flops, even for children.

While praised for its culinary heritage and service, Cipriani has faced criticism for rigid policies, such as denying entry to guests over dress code infractions. Reservations are essential, particularly for prime dinner slots, and advance booking (at least a week ahead) is recommended. The average meal cost is around £110 per person, reflecting its premium positioning. Despite occasional inconsistencies in dishes, standout offerings like the Vanilla Meringue dessert and seamless service ensure a memorable experience.

Expert Review for Cipriani Mayfair, London

Dining at Cipriani Mayfair is akin to stepping into a Venetian masterpiece where heritage and haute cuisine converge with effortless grace. The restaurant’s unwavering dedication to tradition is palpable in every bite—their Carpaccio Alla Cipriani, a dish so pristine it could only be born of Giuseppe Cipriani’s genius, melts like silk on the tongue, its delicate balance of peppery zest and Parmigiano revealing decades of refinement. Equally transcendent is the Bellini, a luminescent elixir of Prosecco and peach that dances between sweetness and sophistication, setting the tone for a meal that feels both celebratory and intimate. The Tagliolini Gratinati, baked to golden perfection with prosciutto and cream, is a masterclass in simplicity, proving that true luxury lies in ingredients treated with reverence.

What elevates Cipriani beyond mere dining is its alchemy of ambiance and artistry. The polished mahogany interiors, accented by jazz-era glamour, hum with an energy that’s cosmopolitan yet warmly inviting—a rarity in Mayfair’s often-sterile luxury scene. Service here is a ballet of precision, orchestrated by staff who anticipate needs without intrusion, allowing the Veal Milanese (crisp, buttery, and toweringly tender) to command the spotlight. For those seeking a portal to Venice’s golden age, wrapped in London’s modern vibrance, Cipriani isn’t just a meal—it’s a legacy savored, one impeccable course at a time.
