Swarovski announces its arrival at Cracco Portofino Restaurant.

Taking over several spaces in this acclaimed restaurant, Swarovski’s activation will combine joyful extravagance with La Dolce Vita lifestyle of the Italian Riviera, welcoming visitors throughout the 2025 summer season.

Building on the success of the Swarovski Cafe at Palazzo Citterio during the Masters of Light: From Vienna to Milan exhibition, envisioned by Swarovski Global Creative Director, Giovanna Engelbert, in 2024, this new iteration revitalizes the concept in a breathtaking new location.

Offering spectacular views across the Marina di Portofino, the sun-drenched terrace will be completely transformed, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the Austrian House’s world of wonder.

Touches of Swarovski shimmer will be present throughout the space, from the sea-level welcome desk to the outdoor terrace. The terrace will serve as a focal point, featuring seating and parasols in Swarovski’s vibrant colors as well as a Swarovski-branded octagon-shaped frame providing the ideal backdrop for a picture-perfect postcard from Portofino.

Once seated, guests will be able to enjoy a range of sweet and savory delicacies including a specially crafted Swarovski cocktail and dessert by renowned chef, Carlo Cracco. Each dish will be served on exquisite porcelain from the Swarovski x Rosenthal collections, designed by Giovanna Engelbert.

Inside the restaurant, guests will be invited to explore radiant pieces from our Spring-Summer 2025 collection including jewelry, eyewear, and accessories envisioned by Giovanna Engelbert featuring fresh new hues, warm golden accents, and intricate designs glowing with exceptional savoir-faire.

Overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio, Cracco Portofino Restaurant is one of Italy’s most sought-after destinations. Chef Carlo Cracco complements the scenery with dishes that celebrate the unique flavors and aromas of the region, using locally grown ingredients to create a menu that blends rustic charm with fine dining sophistication.

Swarovski Terrace will be open from June 2025. Reservations should be made via Cracco Portofino Restaurant with limited walk-ins available.
