Cip's By Cipriani at Belmond Cap Juluca Joins the Anguilla CardIf it is seaside dining you seek, you cannot get closer to the Caribbean Sea than Cip's. Touching the water of Maunday's Bay, the lapping waves set a soothing tone for the evening to come.
Cip’s by Cipriani is Cap Juluca’s nod to the Belmond’s Italian sister property, Belmond Hotel Cipriani. As in Venice, at Cip's the ocean surrounds you, Italian eats delight, and elegance and charm are in every detail. Through Moorish-style arched doorways, setting foot inside Cip's is like entering a Moroccan and tropical dream. Green and white triangular tiles line the floor and ceiling. The bar is painted green while dangling lights in thatched shades illuminate the marble counter tops.
Adopting its dining concept from Cap Juluca's former Spice restaurant, Cip's is a relatively casual dinner restaurant, one part lounge and one part restaurant. Inside the bar area, the room is lined with tropical bench-type seating for lounging. Rich emerald green and white is the color scheme of choice, bringing a distinct air of Venetian flair. A few steps away, the restaurant’s dining areas tier down to the sea. Sit closest to the water to be fully under the night stars.
Cip’s takes cocktails to an art form, with an inventive menu that surprises and delights. Our evening began with the visually striking Fat Kumbers, served in martini glasses with cucumber juice ice cubes that added a refreshing twist as they melted.
The menu begins with classic Italian “antipasti" of the best Italian cured meats and Yellow fin tuna carpaccio, in addition to the Burrata Caprese...
Creamy burrata from Puglia paired with heirloom tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and petite basil. A simple dish elevated by its fresh and flavorful ingredients. The menu transitions gracefully into 'Primi Piatti,' showcasing hearty Italian classics crafted with love, featuring house-made pastas prepared to perfection. This section includes the rich Ravioli alla Sorrentina, and the indulgent Linguine Aragosta & Gamberi Rossi with Anguillian lobster and Sicilian red prawns and highly recommended by chef was the Maccheroncino alla Norma...
Fresh maccheroni tossed with San Marzano tomatoes, roasted eggplant, and ricotta salata. This classic Sicilian dish offers a comforting medley of smoky and tangy flavors. Don’t underestimate this pasta dish! Seriously filling, it is packed with rich tomato flavor. Next, Cip’s selection of hand-crafted pizzas, where Italian tradition meets bold flavors! Highlights include the Margherita with fresh basil and mozzarella, the Diavola with spicy salami and chili oil for a fiery kick and Tartufo Pizza...
Featuring Umbrian truffle cream, “fior di latte” mozzarella, mascarpone, and Parmigiano Reggiano. This indulgent pizza is a truffle lover’s dream, with a rich and aromatic profile. Our #1 rule for dining in Anguilla? Always save room for dessert :-) Cip's menu offers a variety of desserts but my all time favorite from Cip's...
This tiramisu will never let you down. Topped with a dusting of chocolate powder - chilled and not too sweet, this is my idea of the perfect dessert. Almost too full to move, Cip’s left us completely satisfied! For a full read and YouTube video on Cip's, click here. Cip's is an Anguilla Card Partner.
