Cloud 9

Quite a surprise

That's right: everything about Cloud9 is surprising, starting from its location: the XVII-century Villa Sassi, surrounded by the centuries-old park where Savoy aristocrats and their honored guests once walked. You might expect interiors in line with the place's history, but that's the second surprise: elegant modernity, with soft lights, blue and gold decor, and comfortable tables and seats both inside and outside. Finally, the biggest surprise of all: an exceptional bottle rack curated by head barman Roberto Palestini: he's a walking encyclopedia of distillates, gin above all. Here at Cloud9 you will find something like 80 labels from all over the world, each with its specific botanical features and distillation method, and each matchable with his or that ingredient according to the client's tastes and Roberto's advice. In addition to the great classics and about ten twists, the drink list proposes a selection of five or six signature drinks mixed using herbs, spices, and fruits selected in collaboration with Cloud9's local gardener. And if you come by during specific periods of the year, you will find unique cocktails paying tribute to the season.
