Face to Face with Lucio d'Orsi, the "Martini Master" of Sorrento
An exclusive interview with Lucio d'Orsi, the soul behind Dry Martini Sorrento: cocktail philosophy, 100+ martini variations, and the exciting 2027 news of joining the Curio Collection by Hilton.
In the heart of Sorrento, Dry Martini Sorrento is far more than a cocktail bar: it is a refined ritual guided by Lucio d'Orsi, who serves as its living recipe archive, service director, and collaborator with the Michelin-starred Don Geppi kitchen. With over 100 Dry Martini variations — from Classic to Dirty, Smoky to Truffle, Espresso to Porn Star Martini — each cocktail tells an aromatic story while maintaining essential elegance.
The menu exceeds 200 selections, organized into collections: the 100 Martini series, Negroni Collection, Signature drinks, and Fresh Fruits Martinis. About 15 low or non-alcoholic cocktails, crafted with natural infusions and fermentations, are offered as equally sophisticated alternatives.
A major development arrives in 2027: the Majestic Palace will join the Curio Collection by Hilton — an opportunity D'Orsi describes as extraordinary, bringing international momentum while preserving Sorrento's sorrentine identity.
