The Art of Aperitivo

Come Together

There’s nothing quite like an aperitivo to bring people together. In Italy, this enchanting hour is a time-honoured tradition. At Belmond, our bartenders and chefs use their creative spark to craft perfectly paired specialities.

From signature cocktails to a curated bar menu, our combinations celebrate authentic flavours and regional ingredients. Paired with stunning views and live music, aperitivo is our favourite time of day.

Cocktail

Ava Gardner
Our homage to the iconic star matches her sultry, sparkling personality. It combines London Dry Gin, raspberry, orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup and champagne.

Luce Solare
A cocktail named after sunlight needs to shine. Ours, using all local ingredients, is served with a spherical ice cube that recalls the bright orb. It lights up the mix of Wild Turkey Rye, Pernambucco, lemon juice, Persichetto, agave, grapefruit bitters and prosecco.

Finger Food

Simple pleasures and big flavours characterise our locally sourced canapés and treats. Feast on a classic Ligurian cappon magro, an elaborate salad of seafood and vegetables. Look forward to our special twist on this and other tempting surprises.

Breakfast

Wake up each morning to a delicious selection of à-la-carte dishes, served either in-room or on the restaurant terrace in the heart of the Piazzetta.

Our breakfast options include a careful selection of high quality Ligurian specialities, such as home-made focaccia and frittata with local wild herbs. Opt for fresh daily pastries made in-house, perfect with our home-made jam. Sip on refreshing seasonal juices and enjoy our own coffee blend for the perfect espresso.

GELATERIA SAN GIORGIO

Gelateria San Giorgio takes up just a small slice of the Piazzetta, but the sweet delights on offer here are ample. From a classic ice-cream cone to an indulgent local gelato, on golden afternoons it’s the perfect place to pause for a treat.

We also welcome little ones to indulge in some flavourful fun at our tailored ice-cream tasting sessions.
