Harry&#x27;s Bar

"Birthplace of the Bellini: Harry's Bar The Bellini was born in Venice at Harry's Bar, which has been hopping since 1931. Declared a National Historic Monument by the Italian government in 2001, this San Marco bar and restaurant is a cultural institution. Even though it doesn't do the best food in Venice, and prices are ridiculously expensive, it's worth dining here once just for the experience. Over the decades it has served a global collection of writers and artists, including Ernest Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin, and Orson Welles, and today it's still popular with Venetian movers and shakers. The interior decor has not changed since Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's on the eve of World War II (and during the war, Harry's was one of only a handful of restaurants in Venice that would serve Jewish patrons). The food is classic Venetian. Try the baked sea bass with artichokes for a main, and make sure to save room for dessert. Harry's is famed for crêpes flambées and also its Cipriani chocolate cake. Reservations are imperative; when booking ask for the ground floor because dining here is all about seeing and being seen, and the second floor is considered much less cool by Venice society (although it has much better views and more dining space)."

"The Bellini, a famous prosecco-based cocktail with white peach puree, was invented at Harry’s Bar in Venice by a renowned bartender in the mid-20th century." - Ashley Goldsmith

@cntraveler

"This legendary 1930s bar on the Grand Canal is a National Landmark known for inventing the bellini. Everything in the room, from the mahogany bar to the golden lighting, exude a bygone era of classic European cafe culture, making for it a perfect place to be transported. Drinking at Harry’s isn’t about the latest mixology trends. Instead, it’s about imbibing well-done classic cocktails. Order a bellini first, then move on to a martini or a negroni. And keep a keen eye out on the crowd—you never know what celebrity might pop in." - Jenna Scatena

Visited the Harry’s Bar/Cipriani several times both in London and Monaco; this was my first time at the Venice one which I really wanted to visit. We had a fantastic experience! Everything was absolutely perfect, starting from the moment I called to make a reservation (which I would really advise). Both the food and the service were above expectations and if you haven’t tried it yet I would recommend to leave some space for dessert, as their classic meringue cake is delicious! Would definitely visit again! Lastly, I truly do not understand the negative comments on service and pricing. This is not a fast food, it is piece of history with good service and great food. The portions are also very very generous. I wouldn’t expect anything less for what they provide.

Harry’s Bar in Venice was the birthplace of the Bellini, so we had Bellinis!! The drink was delicious and the service very good. The room was crowded with tourists and some local people too.

Totally over priced. Squashed into a very small restaurant. Locals upstairs, tourists downstairs. €262 for two! The lemon meringue was so sweet I didn’t eat it. Definitely not worth it.

Too expensive! Staff was polite. Interior was old and the walls were dirty. Bellini was average (served in a shot glass). Famous Cipriani meringue cake was too sweet. Bread basket and croissant they give you for appetizer were fresh. Chefs sandwich was amazing (no French fries were served).

This place was a bit underwhelming. The Bellini was essentially in a shot glass and cost about $23 euros. Gentlemen can’t wear shorts after 6pm, so beware. I saw at least two couples turned away because of the man’s attire. The Bellini itself was pretty good, but I expected more. I wouldn’t recommend.

Came here as someone told me the history, and it wasn’t busy when I went. Maybe 2 other groups. It picked up as I was leaving. As mentioned drinks are pricier for what you get, but it’s the experience of being in a place with history. I only ordered one drink, and wound have ordered more, but the server was super rude, and was serving everyone around me, and hardly looked my way. Keep in mind it wasn’t busy at the time either. I only had the sandwich, and was good, but would have had stayed for dinner if I was at least acknowledged.

Interesting historical bar right on the canal. I went here because of the fun and historical celebrities who have been there (Hemingway, di Maggio, Lloyd Wright) and was honestly expecting to just have 1 overpriced drink just to experience it. But we decided to have dinner there and it was wonderful. Definitely an “expat” bar but the service was top notch and very attentive. Drinks were strong and perfectly made. The Bellini’s are famous, but I preferred the Daquari. The food was expensive ($50 for a pasta) but actually very good. The specialty pasta for the evening was honestly so delicious. You can definitely dine and drink for way cheaper, but the food was good and the service was very elegant.

We sat upstairs to avoid the noise downstairs which is very small. I really loved the formal service and the peach Bellinis. The food was excellent but it didn't blow me away as being exquisite for the price. My husband had liver and polenta and I had a delicious large steak. We each had a glass of wine. They serve complimentary Bellinis - invented there (you can't miss these!) . They don't serve the wine in traditional glasses but in the stemless glasses- they said they changed that globally when I asked. They have 27 cooks working there - a huge staff.

57 years dining around the world - never had a more pretentious horrible service experience than here. Was planning to have dinner and literally the service in having our cocktails was so bad we decided to close out and leave. Wait staff totally ignored us and had to flag someone down to pay our tab to leave. Literally the first time in 20 years I have wanted to simply walk out. Everyone's tables were converting to dinner but ours we were seated in the main bar and dressed appropriately - and they knew we wanted dinner as we asked when the service began. In a city with great restaurants and bars - this may have been a great place 50 years ago but today is sub par. Overpriced drinks and snooty service. We went to Hotel Saturnia restaurant and had an amazing experience. Strongly suggest going elsewhere in the city.

Yelp

Horrible AVOID! Paid 54 euros for two Bellinis. Ordered chicken croquetas and they never came. After we finished our drinks, we waited 15 minutes, got up frustrated because everyone is so busy talking amongst staff and not paying attention to us. Had to walk up to bar and pay. Then as we do so, is when we find out machine to make food was broken. The owner should really consider shutting this down with only three stars of a review. It's really even worst.

Fantastic historic spot. A must see while in Venice. Read about its history. Try the Bellini and Carpaccio - both originated from this location.

Harry's Bar, the original location of the global Cipriani group of restaurants, is expensive but worth every penny. The food and drinks are all exquisitely prepared. Located on the Grand Canal, a short stroll from San Marco, you cannot get a better location. Good service as well.

This place is an icon and a must visit. Service is great and for such a little place, everyone really makes you feel welcome. This is the place that the Bellini was invented so that's a must. It is a bit expensive but how can anyone pass up a speak easy from the past. Influenced by American ideas but all Italian. Really enjoyed the place!

Paul K.

Yelp

Super crowded. Expensive as anything but a great spot to try for the Bellini! The staff is dressed to the nines with white coats and impeccable service. We were served a bowl of green olives with pits at the bar while there. Lots of happy people here and it got very crowded. It is very touristy and with Harry's inventing the Bellini, it's must see.

Did you really do Venezia if you didn't have a €22 bellini, in the home it was created? I think not! You'll hear zero complaining about the price from me, a cocktail at the Ritz in Paris runs me €34 and I'm known to be a more than one drink girl, a sour at GHT in Lago di Como is €30 so in all honesty the €22 was on par for a two ingredient drink. We stepped through the door around 7p to grab a couple of their famous Bellini's and there was no way I was passing up the delish slice of cake. Dessert before dinner is just who I am. We had flown in from Vienna so I was totally still in cake mode. This gorgeous cake melts in your mouth, is super light and was scrumptious paired with the Bellini. I don't love Bellini's I'm way more of a Bourbon or Tequila gal but I came here specifically for this drink. It was tasty, but I was just taking in a little cocktail history if you will. Service was fantastic, we had a perfect little corner booth so we could take in the place. I'd definitely recommend if you're visiting.

We had to check out Harry's & as my helpful Yelpers said the Bellini's were 27 euros, very small .... We saw it & moved onward. However, Harry's is on the water, near the gondolas and in the designer section on Venice. We passed Tiffany, Fendi, Louis Vuitton ....

If you're in Venice you need to go to Harry's, I have been there every time I'm in Venice. Get a Bellini, they invented it. The food and service are superb

My forever love. My forever home. This place is romantic, authentic, lovely. Service is amazing and everyone are so nice and welcoming from your first step in. If you are lucky enough to try this plsce in all it's glory, you will leave with your heart and stomach happy like me.. like us.. every single time. Food is constantly good. This is a home of Bellini and Carpaccio. It is monumental place in every single way. I was so happy that we got chance to spend our afternoon here. Till we meet again, my dear. Stay safe.

The service here was quite disappointing. My husband and I were happy to enjoy a late night drink in a historic establishment, in fact we were very excited. But staff was rude the moment we walked in. Considering the delicate economy of Venice is based in tourism, and we speak Italian, we were not expecting to be met with such ungracious, unkind, and rude staff. I was devastated to leave this place having had that experience. I don't know when I'll be in Venice next but I won't be recommending or returning.

Great history in this establishment but maybe share a Bellini as they cost 22euros each! Convenient location close to San Marco and the vaporetto.

Such a wonderful place to eat lunch. We ended up just walking in and getting one of the last tables for lunch. For the table we ordered prosciutto and mozzarella. It was delicious! For entrees, we had the club sandwich (came with fries!) and the baked tortellini with ham. The sandwich was very good, but it was a little difficult to eat. Tasted great though! The tortellini was delicious and almost like a good baked Mac and cheese. For desert we ordered one of the cakes that they had that day. Everything was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant was nice and bright for lunch. Overall a great place to eat at for lunch.

We went to Harry's Bar while in Venice. We had the Bellinis and slice of cake. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. It was crowded. But we were able to get a table. Service was good Bellinis and cake were spot on.

Susan H.

Yelp

It was OUTSTANDING! Yes, €22 is a lot for a Bellini but you're paying for the experience. Outside of that (which I didn't mind - I wanted a Bellini where they were invented), you get more than you pay for. Everything, from the bread to the entrees to the dessert & service was wonderful. I enjoyed the amatriciana; interesting that it's a white sauce at Harry's rather than red. Our waiter pointed it out & offered to add tomato if I preferred red sauce. My son had a magnificent beef filet; at least 2 inches thick & cooked exactly as he requested. My husband had a deliciously light tagliolini with bacon in a cream sauce; said it was one of the best pasta dishes he's ever had. We went in as I wanted the Bellini. We ended up absolutely delighted with our dinner. What a wonderful experience!

On a recent trip to Venice we came to this restaurant for dinner. They have a first floor bar which was crowded with locals and tourists. This place is famous for the invention of the Bellini cocktail. The second floor is a gourmet restaurant. Reservations are a must for dinner. We started out with a Bellini. Now this drink seems to be a contentious issue with many patrons. It is only about 6 ounces and costs 22 euros. It was delicious, but definitely not worth the money.. During dinner we split a bottle of sparking water. For dinner we split a pasta entree to start. It was a delicious plate of tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce. Next we each had the veal with polenta. This had to be the best veal I had ever eaten. Fork tender and cooked in a delicious sauce. The entrees are pricey, but they give you a healthy portion. This place is for occasions or a one time visit as a tourist. The bill came to $235 euros for two. Other restaurants we patronized for dinner In Venice cost us about $65-75 euros. We did not order dessert after dinner because we basically ate pastries and cappuccino all day while sightseeing. Dispute the price I would highly recommend this historic place for dinner.

If you're expecting the Cipriani you get when you book them in New York or Dubai, move on. The staff is feckless; they're trained for a clientele whose highest esteem is The Cheesecake Factory. Disgrace to the family name.

I was HORRIFIED by the way we were treated from the time we stepped into the bar. I was prepared to spend a lot on drinks and lunch, but once we walked in we were rushed by a waiter and told we had only 5 minutes to decide on lunch because the kitchen was closing (not the case as many people ordered after we got our food). The staff were very rude and handed us a dinner menu that only included large entrees, yet we saw someone else receive a smaller menu next to us with lunch options. When we received our food the waiter only gave us a portion of our food and left the rest on a tray. When she asked if we wanted more we of course said yes, it's $41 pasta, and the quickly took away the rest before we could even finish it! The whole experience ruined what we thought would be a drink in a historical location and left us feeling snubbed. Not worth it!

Yelp

Harry's has history on its side. Step into the 1930's as you enter the wood paneled bar with waiters elegantly adorned and prepared to serve the rich and famous from an earlier era. Unfortunately, it now smacks of one part museum and two parts tourist trap. The birthplace of the Bellini thanks for former bartender Giuseppe Cipriani, Harry's now charges 22 euro for a modest sampling of the beverage. On a recent visit I paid 54 euro for two Bellinis and a bottle of water. The Bellini and the "free" olives were delicious, so there's that. . .

We were very excited to have a cocktail/Bellini at Harrys after watching Stanley Tucci Searching for Italy on MAX & the urging of friends!! Well after trekking for about 30 minutes (since GPS doesn't work so well in Venice) We were excited to see a lively bar very close to closing time so we realized we would have time for at least 1 drink !! When we first arrived we spotted a tuxedo clad man telling 8 woman that they were not permitted to have drinks at a table & needed to stand around the bar !!! We actually spoke with him explaining our trek !! We were waiting at the bar to order ..excited as a patron was telling us that the Bellini was delicious & worth the price !! Mr Tuxedo looks at my hubby who happened to have shorts on & says sorry we can't serve you !! Shorts are not on the dress code!!! Even tho he watched us walk in & spoke with us ...BUT here's the Clincher .... there was a Dog at the bar !!!! Thats right a dog (with no pants on either) So dogs are OK but shorts are not ?? So they must not be hurting for money at an average $26 per cocktail & a total 12 patrons out the door... obviously the women didn't feel like trying to squeeze in to the very small bar ...So Harrys better get with the times we're not in the 30's anymore .. BTW my husband was very fashionably dressed ..it's June shorts are the norm !!

This was the worst dining experience of my life. I'm not opposed to spending into four figures for a once in a lifetime meal, but I am opposed to horrific service. We have dined in Venice multiple times and have never felt disrespected. We ended up leaving immediately after drinks and going to an establishment that takes pride in being a custodian of Venetian heritage.

Food L.

Yelp

A bit pricey but worth every pennies! We like their dress code, for men - no shorts, no tang-tops, and definitely no flip-flops! Food and service are fantastic! We were well greeted, walked in with no reservation, and the server was extremely helpful! Their tagliatelle is to die for-- along with everything else - from spaghetti to sea bass! We were allergic to all nuts and they made sure our foods were well prepared.

An absolutely essential place to go...... Wonderful ambience, welcoming waitstaff, delicious drinks etc and Earnest Hemingway practically lived here during his writing years! You can feel the presence of so many historical figures and enjoy the pleasure yourself in present day Venice!

Best bar I have ever been to. Period the people that work here are the best of the best at what they do, and they work hard and maintain an ambience of class and execute to perfection.

Kurt S.

I went here in October, 2021 because of all the famous people that have been at this bar over the years. It's the oldest bar in Venice and to sit in the same vicinity as Hemmingway or Chaplin, is so cool. They are extremely overpriced though. $27 for a small Bellini? They charge so much because the Bellini was invented in this bar, but still; you can walk down the street and get the same Bellini for $8. It's a small place but pretty cool that I got to go here.

B S.

Small place but perfect drinks! This is a very tiny entrance but once you cross the threshold you are in for a treat.

Sandee L.

22 euros ($25 USD) for a 6 oz bellini? Highway robbery! We've been around the world to bars where they've invented their drinks and never paid anything this outrageous. The bellini itself was nothing special. If it was made with Dom, I could possibly justify the cost, but it wasn't. If I saw Cook's in the back, that would be the kicker! It's a tiny bar and we were packed shoulder to shoulder (the dude at the table next to us literally had his elbow on OUR table it was so packed). They turn their tables over to the restaurant at 7pm sharp, so if you're cutting it close, be prepared to chug your liquid gold and hit the road.

Dan S.

Yelp

Went to Harry's Bar with a group of four because we were told it's a "must see" in Venice. I understand the history behind the bar (and restaurant), but after going it's more of a "must pass". If you really really really have to stop by Harry's Bar when in Venice, by all means walk in for a signature 23 euro Bellini. No need to dine on a 68 euro pasta dish when you can get better elsewhere for 12-14 euro. The one saving grace is the wait staff if dressed nicely and the ambiance does seem 1930s, but like I said pop in for a drink if you must and pop out and enjoy a much better dinner elsewhere for a quarter of the price.

22 Euro for maybe an 8ounce ~ .24L Bellini. It tastes delicious but I'm not sure 22 Euro worth.

Totally over rated. Snooty staff who wouldn't seat me in the upstairs window, which was wide open the whole time I was there, of which I had requested months in advance. Bellini wasn't a patch on those found at The Gritti Palace or Restaurant Terrazzo Danieli. Certainly won't waste my time next time. Food wasn't all that, either. Most disappointed.

Chris S.

Yelp

This place has no relationship to the wonderful Harry's Bar on via Veneto in Rome. For some reason this spot is widely considered a "must" when visiting Venice. However, my two trips to this establishment were both disappointing experiences. I thought the first time might have just been a bad day, but the second one was even worse. Some of the staff is not merely unfriendly but flat out rude. Yes, thank you, I understand it's not a public restroom. How about for patrons? The salad and sandwich I had for lunch were mediocre. On one visit I sat by the bar and was able to watch a Bellini being made. The bartender poured what was presumably champagne from a metal bucket and then added peach purée from a plastic bottle. Boom, 24 Euros! Go if feel you must, but set your expectations low.

Jose L.

I'm from LA, so i know that things are not always what they seem. Even by LA standards this place is overhyped and overpriced. Portions are small and food is below par. Plus, there is no AC. If I'm going pay 25 euros for a drink, I'd rather it be on the Sunset Strip. Thats what I get for watching CNN and listening to Stanley Tucci!

One of the sites I was most looking forward to revisiting after 40 years was the world, famous Harry's bar in Venice, Italy. Regretfully this iconic Bar didn't live up and was a major disappointment. As someone who doesn't mind spending a lot more for great ambience, food and fantastic service, this place didn't hit the mark. The bar was small, tight and exceedingly warm as it didn't appear the air-conditioning was working. I found the waiters to be a bit rude and gruff. Often if the service is fantastic, one can overlook little inconveniences and still have a very nice time-this was not the case. The overly expensive, anti-climactic cocktails (the Bellini and vodka martinis) were very disappointing. The martinis (although ice cold) were served in what appeared to be an extra large shot glass and the Bellinis were served in stemless (no frills) champagne flutes. After all having your drink served in a proper cocktail glass is half the fun. How disappointing! The table and chairs were low, small and tight-the 8 of us were stuffed into a corner table with no room to spare. Sitting there felt like I was at the children's tea party, with tiny little chairs, table and cocktail glasses. We ordered several orders of the beef, carpaccio and toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. They were serving a limited bar menu at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so there wasn't much to choose from. Overall, the food was disappointing as well. If I had to do it all over again and I wouldn't, Harry's bar is definitely something you can skip and spend your money elsewhere. I loved the the outdoor bar at the Saint Regis. There the service, cocktails, and food were spectacular, not to mention the view of the Grand Canal and live music. Now that was truly a lovely experience. I'm so sorry Harry's Bar as I had such high hopes for you, better luck in the future.

Eric P.

Yelp

Harry's Bar!! Boy was my group ready for a treat! We enter and the captain and waiters immediately scurry us up the stairs to Siberia. I guess the downstairs although half full, was for the "special guests". Ok no problem, I'm open to the atmosphere and great food. First we are suavely offered 4 Bellinis, the house special drink. We bit on it. Then we bite on their appetizer suggestion, which we cut in half. More than ample and quite good. Then we had pasta. To justify their prices we got a truck load of fair spaghetti. And when I say lots of oil, that would be a gross understatement. The bread....from yesterday, or maybe the day before. The service was elegant and comme il faut. Yet he might have told us that one order of the pasta was enough for 4. Basically they are salesmen looking to gouge you. And I'm sure we had complied like the tourists we were. These people have no interest in promoting a fine dining experience, which so many others do in Venice for 25% of the price. Harry's Bar!!! NOT. Rip off.

Sam S.

Yelp

The most overrated disappointment in Venice. Soggy noodles(no knowledge of what Al Dente means),crowded with servers banging into customers & more then twice as expensive as any decent restaurant or Osteria. Everything "Cipriani" is more mediocre. This 1932 historical Venice dining room should have evolved,it didn't! Stay Away is my recommendation. 10/16/22

This place is amazing and old school and charming. Anyone complaining about prices or the size of bellinis just doesn't "get it." Had the best pasta and the best service!! Staff is kind and helpful if you are kind to them.

Yelp

ONE star, would give it 0.5 if I could. Really disappointed with the service and the overall experience of Harry's Bar. I did expect the bellinis at this bar to be a little overpriced (as it IS the supposed birthplace of the bellini), however I did not expect each TINY bellini to be $22!! With that being said, I would've sucked up the price if the experience itself was better. The waiter seemed rude and inattentive. When we asked him where in the city he recommended for calamari (should be easy in a coastal city), his response was "all the restaurants are good". When we laughed and tried to ask again, or if any of the other waiters may have a suggestion, his response was "I don't know I don't go out here and they probably don't either". The least he could've done was ask someone for a suggestion, or make one up- anything was better than him just doing his best to stand behind the bar and chat with his coworkers. TERRIBLE service that made for a lousy experience.

Denise P.

Yelp

Five stars for the experience. Harry's is kind of a must if you want to go to the old school bar where Hemingway drank - and I doubt it's changed a bit. Very casual but waiters are in white jackets, loads of blonde wood. Drinks are insanely expensive - 24 Euro for a cocktail, but they do bring olives and the drinks are strong. It's not a place I can see making a regular stop, but it's a fun place to experience.

Christian R.

Yelp

The one and only Harry's Bar! No no, not Harry's Bar New York... this is the original location! We came here for one thing and one thing only, a legendary Bellini. Invented at this very location in the 1930's the Bellini is the ultimate mix of refreshing, sweet and strong. We understood this was a very expensive restaurant so we walked in 30 minutes prior to closing and just sat at the bar. Upon ordering your drinks they give you a bowl of olives which my other wife loved. Bar service was very fast and the glass size seemed like a mini size but was so delicious I didn't care. They were incredibly expensive I think we spent almost 40 euros on the two drinks. But this is honestly about the location and experience. I cannot give Harry's Bar anything short of 5/5 because they created a drink that I now admire and no one so far in the US has been able to make it quite the same way.
