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.

    What can I say about The Gritti Terrace that hasn’t already been said? It has THE most iconic location and stunning backdrop for dining and photographs. Perhaps what goes overlooked is the level of service you get. Between Enrico (Maitre D), Maria (sommelier) and Domenico (server), I don’t know who was better. They were all warm, welcoming, engaging, accommodating, fun and endearing! We walked in as guests and left feeling like family. The interaction was second to none. The hospitality and professionalism displayed by these three employees rivaled the stunning scenery we were surrounded by. The food - the food was excellent! Fresh, delicious and the drinks were delightful as well. Their tiramisu is really an interesting take, as it’s tiramisu flavored ice cream, with a soaked-in-espresso lady finger inside, wrapped in a chocolate shell made to look like a large coffee bean. I thoroughly enjoyed it. We cannot wait to go back to Venice so we can enjoy Gritti Terrace again and again. This place is a must visit in our opinion.
