Cortigiano is the signature Italian restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano, offering an upscale take on Italian cuisine within one of the city's leading international hotel properties. The kitchen focuses on handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza alongside classics such as osso buco, finishing meals with a traditional tiramisu, giving the menu a clear Italian identity rather than a fusion approach. The dining room reflects the Four Seasons' polished house style, with smart-casual to formal dress expected, attentive tableside service, low noise levels suited to conversation, and a refined atmosphere aimed at hotel guests and Alexandria's upper end of the dining market. A curated wine list leans toward Italian and international labels to complement the pasta and osso buco, a beverage programme more developed than most standalone restaurants in the city. Given its hotel setting and reputation, reservations are required, and booking several days ahead is advisable for dinner, particularly on weekends when demand from both hotel guests and outside diners is highest. The price range of EGP 1200-2500 per person places it firmly in Alexandria's fine-dining bracket, well above the seafood halls and street-food counters that dominate the city's everyday dining scene. Evening service runs from 6pm to 11:30pm, positioning Cortigiano as a dinner-focused destination rather than a lunch spot.
