ORTO BY CUE PORTO CERVO

CUE PORTO CERVO

CUE Churrascaria Porto Cervo combines the theatrical spectacle of Brazilian rodizio dining with live music and DJ entertainment. The poolside setting in Liscia di Vacca, illuminated by fairy lights and energised by carefully curated music programming, creates an atmosphere that builds in intensity as the evening progresses. CUE is a dinner show in the truest sense. The entertainment is not an add on but an integral part of the experience, woven into every moment from the arrival cocktail to the final set.

ORTO BY CUE

Orto By CUE is a one of a kind restaurant where Argentine tradition blends harmoniously with Mediterranean flavours. A gastronomic journey that celebrates the meeting of cultures, ingredients and creativity.

Dining takes place outdoors, surrounded by the aromas and colours of an above ground organic garden that serves as the true beating heart of the restaurant. Tables are set within a sensory garden, where aromatic plants, fresh vegetables and nature itself become both the backdrop and the inspiration for every dish.

The kitchen is led by chef Bruno Ariel Malacasa, whose career began in 1998 and was shaped by masters such as Pablo Massey, Martiniano Molina and Donato De Santis. His approach has evolved into a cuisine that is sincere and contemporary, built around open fire grilled meats, carefully selected produce and bold pairings, always respecting the integrity of the raw ingredient.

ZUMA PORTO CERVO

While not a traditional dinner show, Zuma Porto Cervo rooftop transitions into a vibrant social and music destination as the evening unfolds. The shift from contemporary Japanese dining to drinks, dancing and DJ sets happens organically, making Zuma one of the most dynamic evening destinations on the coast. It is an ideal choice for guests who want their dinner to naturally evolve into something more energetic without committing to a fixed entertainment programme.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A DINNER SHOW IN PORTO CERVO

Dinner shows on the Costa Smeralda are not cabaret performances or stage shows in the traditional sense. They are carefully designed evenings where food, music, atmosphere and service combine to create a unified experience. The entertainment typically begins softly during the earlier courses, with live music or ambient DJ selections that complement rather than compete with the dining experience. As the evening progresses and the main courses give way to desserts and digestifs, the energy increases. By late evening, many dinner show venues have transformed into lively nightlife destinations, with guests moving from their tables to the bar or dance floor.

Dress codes tend toward smart and elegant, reflecting the sophisticated nature of the clientele and the exclusivity of the venues. Arriving by yacht is not uncommon, and many restaurants offer marina adjacent locations or transfer services to accommodate nautical arrivals.
