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.

Purtroppo il cibo era davvero pessimo e estremamente costoso. La pasta era troppo cotta e completamente insapore. I cocktail erano molto piccoli e costosi (nemmeno serviti con olive o altri accompagnamenti per l’aperitivo). È incomprensibile servire un cibo del genere a un prezzo simile nel 2024! Vergognoso! Abbiamo mangiato in 40 minuti e siamo scappati via, ero molto contrariata! Il servizio, invece, era impeccabile.

Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious entrees. Salad was yellow iceberg lettuce. Disappointed in their overpriced desserts and extra table service fees.

Food was just ok we tried several of their must haves and it seemed to be a restaurant that has lost its charm.. plenty of more exciting restaurants in the city.
