Sipario hosts company parties, kick-offs, seminar days, team-building events, afterworks, birthdays and cocktail dinners, for 10 to 150 guests depending on the spaces booked. The second-floor event room seats 55, and the terrace takes up to 150 standing. Sipario is an Italian restaurant, cocktail bar and brunch spot spread over three floors with a terrace on the Vilaine side, at 99 Mail François Mitterrand in Rennes.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells seminars, team building, kick-offs, cohesion days and afterworks that run into the evening. The team stages the event from start to finish, with food, drinks and music. The second-floor event room is fully modular and works for a seated meal, a cocktail or an evening party. For a larger company night, several spaces can be combined, from the bar on the ground floor to the club on the third floor and the terrace outside. Requests for companies go through a dedicated form, and the events team answers by email or phone.
The site does not list audiovisual equipment for meetings, so check projection and sound needs with the team if the program includes presentations.
Weddings and receptions
Sipario hosts birthdays, family meals, evenings with friends, bachelor and bachelorette parties and private celebrations. Weddings are not mentioned on the official site. Groups of up to 14 can book a table online with instant confirmation. From 15 guests, bookings go through the private hire and group request.

Catering
The kitchen is Italian. Graziano runs the kitchen and Audrey the front of house, and the bar team, led by Kyllian, creates signature cocktails with Italian flavors. Four event formats are offered: sharing boards of Italian charcuterie and cheese, a standing cocktail dinner with hot bites and signature cocktails, a seated menu, and custom formats such as a brunch or a dance party. The regular menu covers antipasti, pasta and risotto, fish, meat and Italian desserts, with gluten-free pasta available. A weekend Italian brunch and an aperitivo hour with spritz and cocktails are also served.
History and setting
Sipario is the project of a couple, Audrey and Graziano, who built it around Italian cooking, cocktails and music. The name means curtain in Italian, and the venue leans on that theater idea for its events. The terrace sits on the quays with a view of the Vilaine. In January 2026, the restaurant was included in a Destination Rennes selection of Italian addresses in the city.
