The story

Cipresso – Italian Fine Dining at Hard Rock Hollywood, Florida

Italian Fine Dining Inside Hard Rock Hollywood

Cipresso is the Italian restaurant within the fine dining collection at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, located just off the South Florida coast in the greater Pembroke Pines area. It sits alongside a small group of destination restaurants — Council Oak, Kuro, and Abiaka — that together form the resort's most serious culinary offering, available for dinner with full table service.

The restaurant's wine program earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a recognition that speaks directly to the depth and curation of the list. For a resort property, that kind of independent validation matters: it signals that the Italian experience here extends beyond the plate and into the glass, with selections chosen to complement the cuisine rather than simply fill a list.

A Setting Built for the Evening

Cipresso is positioned as an evening destination, part of a resort complex that draws guests from across South Florida and beyond. The Hard Rock Hollywood campus is substantial — hotels, entertainment venues, a casino, a spa — but Cipresso occupies the quieter, more considered end of that spectrum. The fine dining environment offers table service and a bar, making it equally suited to a deliberate dinner for two or a longer evening that begins with drinks.

Italian Cuisine with Award-Winning Wines

The Italian focus gives Cipresso a clear identity within the resort's broader dining landscape. Italian cuisine, with its emphasis on quality ingredients and regional tradition, pairs naturally with a wine program of the kind Wine Spectator has recognized here. Guests looking for that combination — serious Italian food, a well-built wine list, and a polished setting — will find it within one of South Florida's most prominent resort destinations.
