Cipriani to Open at This Location in Kuwait

The internationally renowned Italian restaurant Cipriani is set to open a new seafront dining destination in Kuwait, bringing its classic Venetian cuisine and elegant hospitality to the Arabian Gulf Road. The upcoming venue will be located on the site formerly occupied by Burj AlHamam, a popular waterfront restaurant that has since closed.

Cipriani is a globally recognized restaurant and hospitality brand with a nearly century-old legacy rooted in Venice, Italy. Founded by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1931, the creator of the original Harry’s Bar, the brand is celebrated for its timeless Italian classics, impeccable service and sophisticated, nautical-inspired interiors. It has expanded worldwide with locations in major cities including Dubai, Doha, Riyadh and Bahrain, where visitors enjoy its signature menu and elegant ambience by the water.

The Kuwait outpost will further extend Cipriani’s presence along the Arabian Gulf coastline, offering both residents and visitors a refined dining experience overlooking the sea. While details on the exact opening date and full menu are yet to be confirmed, the choice of the Arabian Gulf Road, a prime waterfront stretch known for its views and leisure destinations, underscores the brand’s focus on scenic luxury settings.

Cipriani’s venues typically feature a blend of indoor and outdoor spaces with elegant décor, nautical accents and classic Italian dishes such as Carpaccio alla Cipriani, baked tagliolini, fresh seafood and signature desserts. The restaurants also often include private dining areas and lounges, catering to both intimate dinners and larger social gatherings.

The announcement has sparked anticipation among food enthusiasts and Kuwait’s hospitality sector, as Cipriani’s arrival is expected to contribute to the country’s evolving gourmet landscape. With its heritage of Venetian cuisine and premium standards, the new restaurant is set to become a notable addition to Kuwait’s waterfront dining options.

Further details about the opening timeline, reservations and event programming are expected to be released in the coming weeks as Cipriani finalises preparations for its Gulf Road debut.
