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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Harry's Bar in Venice is an iconic destination known for its "timeless atmosphere" and "impeccable service." Guests rave about the "amazing food," particularly the Bellinis and Venetian dishes. While it offers a "unique and memorable experience," the prices are high, and some find the ambiance lacking. A must-visit for a classic Venetian experience!

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.

Come sempre l'Harry's bar è una tappa obbligatoria a Venezia , sia che tu ti voglia fare un buon aperitivo, il Bellini non può mancare, sia che tu voglia sederti al ristorante. Come sempre una certezza! Super!

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