About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Visited Harry's bar in Venice and was thoroughly disappointed. The service was slow, the drinks and food were extremely overpriced, and the atmosphere was lacking. Definitely not worth a return visit.

    No nos ha defraudado. Es lo que esperábamos en todos los sentidos. Recomendable para quien no lo conozca. Las raciones pueden compartirse entre dos personas. La atención y el clima exquisito y emblemático digno de conocer.

    Harry’s bar disappointed due to average food standard and unnecessarily high prices. The atmosphere was poor due to the amount of people sat on phones and people watching football on phones at tables. It is completely understood that it is meant to be an original experience. However, it did not live up to expectations.

    Expensive, yes. Worth it, absolutely. Having dinner here was a beautiful and special way to start off an Italian vacation.

    Historical or not, this place is ridiculously priced for the level of food and atmosphere. Two tiny drinks and beef carpaccio set us back $135.
