My date and I had the pleasure of experiencing Ristorante Villa Cipriani at Belmond Reid’s Palace and it did not disappoint. The Italian influenced rooftop restaurant offers a slice of Italian life on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. As we entered, we were struck by the classic and romantic setting with red and white table cloths and candle lights. The relaxed and friendly service added to the ambiance of the evening.

We opted for an outdoor table with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking and the perfect complement to the tasty Italian dishes that were made with fresh and local meats, seafood and herbs. The impressive selection of wines also made the evening all the more enjoyable.

Despite the restaurant being quite pricey, the quality of the food, views and atmosphere made it worth every penny. The opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays are from 18.30 – 00.00 and its address is Estrada Monumental 143, 9000-098 Funchal, Madeira. I would highly recommend visiting Ristorante Villa Cipriani and experiencing the Italian life on the edge of the Atlantic.
