Locanda Cipriani - Review - Torcello - Venice - The Infatuation
"There would be no Venice if not for the island of Torcello, which was settled by Romans who were fleeing a Hun invasion in the 5th century and today has less than 20 permanent residents. In 1935, the owner of Harry’s Bar took over a tavern on the island and transformed it into Locanda Cipriani, a place everybody from Ernest Hemingway to Princess Diana have visited. You’ll get to eat the freshest fish and cold plates of vitello tonnato in a lush garden where there are plenty of vines and a covered pergola. In cooler months, there’s a dining room with a fireplace, but know that Locanda Cipriani is usually closed from mid-January until mid-February." - Gillian McGuire
