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.

    Harry's Bar is one of the great institutions of Venice. Harry is the most amiable of hosts. The food is the best in Venice. And the service is first-rate. We have dined there for some 30 years and will be there again next year and every year.

    We were really looking forward to our visit to Harry’s Bar, especially since we noted in our reservation that we were celebrating our engagement—but that went completely unacknowledged. The service overall was extremely disappointing. After our first round of drinks and water, no one checked on us again, and we had to ask multiple times just to get the check. There was also a surprise €10 per person cover charge that was never mentioned upfront. The food was good, but definitely not worth the high prices. Between the inattentive service, lack of hospitality, and hidden fees, the experience felt more like a tourist trap than a special night out. Wouldn’t return.
