A meeting place for writers, artists, models, and the stars of stage, screen, and corporate boardrooms, a luxurious restaurant whose fabulous concoctions and timeless decor have often been imitated but never matched, Harrys Bar in Venice has remained one of the worlds most renowned watering holes for more than sixty years. Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Sinclair Lewis, and other luminaries have tasted its famous cocktails and enjoyed the bars original inventions, such as the carpaccio appetizer and the now-ubiquitous bellini. Filled with engaging wit and lighthearted charm, Arrigo Ciprianis history of Harrys Bar is a delight to readand the next best thing to a table at Harrys Bar itself.
