Cipriani Beverly Hills

"Cipriani is a famous New York restaurant known for its classic Italian dishes and upscale dining experience, now also available in Los Angeles." - Rebecca Roland

"Dessert might seem like too much of a task after a meal of veal Milanese and pasta at Cipriani, but save room because the four-layered meringue cake is a marvel. Expect to dig into three times more silky meringue than actual cake with a fragrant vanilla flavor that imbues every bite. The cake’s gently torched top brings out some creme brulee vibes. Be sure to order at least one slice for every two people because fighting over the last airy bite just isn’t right. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff

"Los Angeles Magazine recently published a write-up of Cipriani in Beverly Hills. The article covers plenty of the scene but barely mentions anything about the food: “Attractive couples perched on stools and well-heeled women decked in black are sipping drinks from a grand bar at the entrance...When you walk to your table, heads will turn, as everyone is curious who you are in this ostentatious display of exclusivity,” writes Jasmin Rosemberg." - Matthew Kang

"Those familiar with New York’s clubby dining scene will have heard of Cipriani, the legendary 92-year-old restaurant that’s a regular celebrity hot spot. The new Beverly Hills outlet serves the same food and drinks as the other locations. Best-selling dishes include tuna tartare, risotto primavera, baccala mantecato (Venetian salted cod), and Chilean sea bass a la Carlina with tomato sauce, capers, and Worcestershire sauce. Some specialties from Harry’s Bar in Venice also appear on the menu, like the baked tagliolini with ham and vanilla meringue cake. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff

"The scene at Cipriani will always resemble a billionaire’s yacht, an aspirational restaurant with enough fur coats and Hermés Birkin bags to make a person of middle-class standing blush. Glamorous wood panels, faux portholes displaying televised ocean waves, and white tuxedoed servers complete the ritzy experience. The cuisine, inspired by a hundred years of history from Venice’s Harry’s Bar, could be the least challenging Italian food in the Golden Triangle, an area rife with wealth and conservative palates. It’s no fault of Cipriani’s for giving the 90210 folks what they want. Everyone will start with a peach Bellini and $36 carpaccio with maybe three ounces of fresh flattened beef. But it’s hard to fault a great veal Milanese, served in a vinyl record size with the bone in for extra effect, not that anyone here would dare gnaw on the piece inside this restaurant. Crisp on the outside and sporting a sturdy, moist bite inside, it’s genuinely a wonderful thing to share, especially with a bowl of tagliatelle alla ragú and a tossed arugula and cherry tomato salad. Finish with the more-meringue-than-cake slice and you will leave poorer but happier." - Eater Staff
