Identità Golose honours Dry Martini Sorrento with «The Art of Hosting»
In Identità Golose's 2026 guide to signature pizzerias and cocktail bars, Dry Martini at Majestic Palace receives the «Art of Hosting» award.
In the 2026 Guida alle Pizzerie e Cocktail Bar d'autore published by Identità Golose, Dry Martini at Majestic Palace in Sorrento received the «Art of Hosting» award.
It is a recognition that says nothing about technique, and that is exactly why it means so much to us. It does not reward the depth of a spirits list or the precision of a dilution: it rewards the way a person is welcomed, guided and put at ease. That is the part of the job you cannot learn from a manual, and that you only acquire on the floor, by doing it.
The guide, curated by Carlo Passera and Claudia Orlandi, has reached its third edition and places a section devoted to the best of Italian mixology alongside its coverage of signature pizzerias.
A cocktail bar inside a hotel has one advantage and, at the same time, one extra responsibility: the guest is not passing through, the guest stays. Whoever drinks a Martini on the terrace in the evening will have breakfast in the same building the next morning. Which means hospitality cannot be one evening's performance: it has to be a way of being.
«The Art of Hosting» is exactly the name we would give to what we try to do every day.
