The storied Italian restaurant Cipriani, a name long synonymous with the New York elite's culinary scene, has stretched its legs to the West Coast with a newly minted spot in Beverly Hills. Ensuring devotees can savor their beloved Bellini cocktails and famed carpaccio, the 92-year-old hospitality giant opened its doors at 362 North Camden Drive on January 10, as reported by Eater Los Angeles.

Erica Cipriani, one can only guess the next move of Cipriani, who is now helmed by the family heirs Arrigo, Giuseppe, and his sons Ignazio and Maggio. With the expansion, the Ciprianis carry on the legacy that began with Giuseppe Cipriani Sr.'s original Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, where the concept of uncomplicated luxury dining was conceived –– a trait that has remained a staple through generations, as noted by Los Angeles Magazine.

Designed by longtime collaborator and Florentine architect Michele Bonan, the Beverly Hills establishment underwent a meticulous year-long build, transforming the erstwhile Madeo space into a refined, nautical-inspired dining room. Bringing some of the East Coast jazz pizzazz to the area, the top floor houses a jazz cafe, evoking a 1920s vibe complete with a grand piano, conceptualized by architect Carlos Almada. An 80-seat patio, set to launch come spring, promises a seductive blend of Cipriani's heritage with California's al fresco dining ethos.

Staying true to Cipriani tradition, the Beverly Hills location mirrors its counterparts in offering a menu brimming with Italian fine-dining staples. From the tuna tartare, to the risotto primavera, every dish echoes the brand's iconic culinary finesse, according to Eater Los Angeles. Sharing more than just recipes, the restaurant also imports a slice of its star-studded atmosphere — historically a haven for the glitterati, from Ernest Hemingway to Truman Capote, as recalled by Los Angeles Magazine.

While the restaurant remains loyal to its roots, with iconic cocktails like the Bellini leading the charge, it also gives a nod to local vintages, incorporating wines from regions across California, Oregon, and beyond. Californian aficionados of the brand can now relish in the Cipriani experience without crossing state lines, from the daily offerings of lunch and dinner to late-night jazz sessions taking place on Thursdays through Saturdays.
