NYC's most glamorous Italian restaurant. The Cipriani family's SoHo outpost is where supermodels, fashion moguls, and A-listers gather for Bellinis and carpaccio in an ultra-chic setting.
Why is Cipriani Downtown a celebrity hotspot?
Cipriani Downtown is the fashion industry's living room. The combination of Venetian glamour, signature Bellini cocktails, and prime SoHo location creates the perfect scene for supermodels, designers, and celebrities. It's where Anna Wintour holds court and models refuel between shoots.

The Cipriani family invented the Bellini in Venice. Fresh peach puree and Prosecco - essential.
Cipriani invented carpaccio in 1950. Paper-thin raw beef, mustard dressing, arugula.
Fresh egg pasta with generous black truffle shavings. Luxurious and aromatic.
Crispy-topped baked pasta with ham and cheese. Indulgent Venetian comfort food.
Cipriani Downtown is famous for its Bellini cocktails (invented by the Cipriani family in Venice in 1948), beef carpaccio (also a Cipriani invention), glamorous atmosphere, and being a magnet for supermodels and fashion industry elite.
They're both owned by the Cipriani family but are different restaurants. Harry Cipriani is at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel on Fifth Avenue and attracts an older, more established crowd. Downtown has a younger, fashion-focused clientele.
Cipriani Downtown has a smart casual to upscale dress code. Think SoHo chic - well-dressed but not overly formal. During Fashion Week, expect everyone to be dressed to impress. No flip-flops or athletic wear.
