DINNER TO REMEMBER…. AT THE ACQUERELLO RESTAURANT AT THE SAN CLEMENTE PALACE KEMPINSKI
Ten minutes by private launch from San Marco
is the stunningly beautiful San Clemente
Palace Kempinski and its equally impressive
fine dining offering, the Acquerello located in
the churchyard of the beautiful San Clemente
church.
Begin your evening with a cocktail on the
huge terrace to watch the sunset across the
lagoon and Piazza San Marco before taking
your table in the majestic dining room. This
is high ceilinged, marbled columned,
luxuriously furnished at its best – a location
as impressive as its culinary delights.
From the kitchen of executive chef Vincenzo
Di Tuoro comes course after course of taste
triumph, beautiful presentation and refined
Mediterranean dining with just a hint of Asian
fusion; the roasted curry scallops with calamari
ceviche and Asian broth a prime and delicious

parmesan pasta with fresh butter and plentiful
black truffle, followed by the herb crusted lamb
loin with wild chicory, artichokes and poached
rhubarb.
From the overflowing bread basket of focaccia,
savoury croissants, herb brioche and venetian
rolls to the beautifully refined brown sugar
sphere and Bronte pistachio mousse desserts,
the affair was a lesson in dining refinement,
beautiful presentation and unparalleled service.
