Ristorante Hotel Cipriani
Italian
Long white tablecloths and deep burgundy chairs set the retro-formal tone at this Italian fine dining room inside the Belmond Copacabana Palace, right on the Atlantic. The chef, Campanian by origin and Brazilian by now, runs tasting menus that fold local ingredients into Italian tradition with real technical precision. 50 Top Italy named it the top Italian restaurant in the world in 2026, and the chef took their Chef of the Year honor too.

Pizza fritta
“I richiami alla terra d’origine di Cassese aprono la cena con la pizza fritta, l’ottimo pane fatto in casa e una parmigiana di melanzane che da sola vale il viaggio.”
