On May 13, 1931, Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in Venice. Over the years, Harry's Bar has become the place where writers, painters, artists, aristocrats, kings, and queens would meet. Among them were: Barbara Hutton, Katherine Hepburn, Gary Cooper, Giancarlo Menotti, Peggy Guggenheim, Orson Welles, Frank Lloyd Wright, Joe DiMaggio, Truman Capote, and Ernest Hemingway. The keys to the success of this small bar were: service, freedom, and lack of imposition.

Throughout its 93-year history, Harry's Bar has witnessed the 20th century in Venice. Its importance was also recognized by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, which declared it a national reference point in 2001. No other public place in Italy had received the same award in the same century.

È sempre stato stupendo. Da un po’ di tempo il cibo non è eccezionale e i camerieri disattenti e il rumore delle comitive esagerato

Good 'old school ' service. Original Bellini cocktail. Other than that, mediocre food at triple the price.

Fun experience! Seated on the upper floor, we had a great view of the beautiful water, which made our Bellinis that much better!!

Fit-out was pleasant and so was the service. Prices are interesting. Michelin is better value for money.
