Harry's Bar Venezia Reviews
Great food, charming staff, wonderful atmosphere - ignore the whingeing reviews!
Booked lunch upstairs as a special treat for husband's 64th birthday. In Australian dollars (the Pacific Peso) it cost a fortune, but it was worth every cent. We are foodies so quite demanding, and enjoyed every mouthful. The wait staff were cha
Buyer Beware!
Terrible experience! Sat us, my wife and I, at a table upstairs by the servers. We felt like we were in the kitchen with dishes clanging and staff constantly chasing by our table. When we asked for a better table not near the servers we were told it
This was a fun place to visit.
Home of the Bellini. It is worthwhile to stop if you're in the area. Also try the driest gin in the world. Both are made very well here the home.
We went just to try the Bellinis.
We didn't have a reservation and they were fully booked, so we sat in the waiting booth by front door. They forgot about our drinks so it was a lot of waiting, but was worth it to say we've tried it!
Not friendly to Americans
For a place completely geared toward and reliant on tourists, they don’t seem to like or respect tourists, especially Americans. I watched as they openly mocked and laughed at Americans just trying to have a drink and mind their own business. It do

Definitely the best Bellini I've ever had but it was also very expensive at 25 euros. It was crowded and the staff didn't seem to care or pay attention to anyone but it was still a cool experience to say I've tried a Bellini from the p
Meh
Disappointing, small extremely expensive Negroni left me pining for the ones I make at home. The lunch was good but high priced for what we got. The tiny, crowded bar was only good for people watching.
Overpriced
Very small bar, with a relaxed atmosphere and vibe. Well presented with an old fashioned charm and style. Unfortunately, it’s very expensive for the quality and quantity of food. For example, Leek and Potato Soup €35.00, tasted lovely, but not wo
A trap for tourists
High prices - 60 euro for their carpacio, 22 euro for Bellini and 30 euro for their famous dessert. The prices are just way to high - its filled with tourist - which can be okay, but the experience is not good.

Visited in October 2025 obviously this place is historic but it is also a One of the biggest tourist traps in Venice. $26 drinks, poor Service and basically they doubled our bill right before we left. I would steer clear of this place. Staff was obvi
Harry’s bar watch out!
Visiting Venice for the first time October 2025 went to Harry’s bar. Ordered 2 drinks 26.00 each. Low grade alcohol with small drinks. Bill should have been 52 euros but then charged 100 euros on CC. What anTotal ripoff. Staff in white jacke
10/10!
This was a fantastic experience! I was first caught by the breadth of the menu, and then the food came—which was equally great! I highly recommend for a traditional (e.g., liver and onions and rice) dinner or a modern twist (e.g., Seabass pasta).
A Bellini and olives — stop and enjoy
A delightful stop along the grand canal. The cozy atmosphere, combined with the storied history of the bar make it a must stop. Grab a Bellini and have some olives — if it’s overcrowded, come back later. I thought it was lovely
After many years of not having been at this Harry's
After many years of not having been at this Harry's location, it was a pleasure and surprise that somethings stand the test of time and taste! The service was excellent (a difficult task in Venice!), the food delicious and the drinks wonderful.
Lost its direction
We have eaten at Harry’s Bar on a number of previous visits to Venice and have always enjoyed the experience. We recognised that it was expensive but felt that the price was worth paying for an enjoyable meal in a piece of Venetian dining history.
Disgusting
Stopped in for lunch and left hungry. I ordered a club sandwich which was so disgusting I couldn’t eat it. The chicken was dry, one piece of lettuce and a nauseating amount of mayonnaise. I don’t mind over priced food but when it is this bad it i
Not cool anymore
Nothing really Special! Loud, old, not cool, only tourists. The food was not bad but extraordinary expensive. As the city is completely in US und right Now expect loud groups with no respect for others.
Packed and overpriced
The other reviews sum it up pretty well. Incredibly overpriced 35 euros for a minestrone soup, 22 euros for a Bellin, although this doesn't seem to put people off it was packed on a Wednesday evening. The bar and ground floor was packed. We were
Half decent food, overpriced with obnoxious clientele. Expected better.
Made a reservation as it was recommended to reserve. Was rushed to a quiet table upstairs. Nice menu choices. Staff were friendly and attentive (perhaps a little over attentive). Food was ok to taste but overpriced. Drinks are overpriced, but decent
Give it a miss
Visited on a Friday afternoon for a drink. We were shown to a table and then totally ignored. I had to ask for the drinks menu, the young man who greeted us (in the loosed of terms) was clearly talking about us to the bar man. I ended up going to
I had to go.
I mean, if you've read anything from the 20th century classics, probably one of the authors had a drink here. Or a lot of them. The place is kind of sterile, frankly, looking like a forgotten. The tables are sort of pushed around kind of haphaz

Wouldn't have minded the "snooty" service as another reviewer commented but the Bellinis were not good and overpriced w only a hint of peach flavour. We popped in our last day in Venice as we like frequenting legendary hotels and bars

A relative recommended we stop here to enjoy the original Bellini they invented. We worked diligently trying to make dinner reservations months in advance. They only make them on open table 14 days in advance. We secured them for our third night
Avoid Harry's Bar Venice
As a widely-travelled liquor industry professional for more than 30 years, I found Harry's Bar dishonest and lacking service. Supposedly famous for the peach Bellini, it failed badly. Although fresh peaches were available, the peach concoction c
So not worth it! Harry’s was billed as the top restaurant in Venice, but if this is as good as it gets, Venice is a very sad place to eat. The food was good, but way over priced. Our waiters were inattentive. It was noisy and they allowed a dog in
Wow,what a place and the atmosphere! Bellini cocktail is unreal!! Amazing service! I will definitely be back! Thank you.
Pants for men?? It's 92 degrees outside in Venice you bozo.
Grow with times or die. Didn't look great inside anyways before I was removed.

My family and I just had the most degrading experience at Harry's bar this evening. I had reviewed the dress code before we walked by the establishment to take some photos. I read that men had to wear long pants and dress coats in order to enter

Tourist trap! Came here to try a few drinks in this famous bar. Started with 2 Bellinis. Tasted good but came in a glass not much bigger than a shot glass. Next we ordered a whiskey sour and a rum and coke. The sour also came in the small glass and w
Went for drinks! They did not disappoint.
We got the classic Bellini and it came with olives. Nice place to stop, hang out and feel like you're experiencing something special. Service was great and fast! People were turned away for not being in dress code - no shorts!
The original.
You don't come here for the food. You don't come for the service. You come for the history and the Bloody Mary. Sit at the bar. Watch the people. Dress appropriately. No shorts. Stop being American, you're embarrassing me. A mid-wester
Fantastic historic spot.
A must see while in Venice. Read about its history. Try the Bellini and Carpaccio - both originated from this location.

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
It’s a tradition
This is our fourth visit to Venice in over twenty years, and our fourth visit to Harry’s. For us, a trip to the city would not be complete without stopping for an overpriced drink at this famous establishment. We visited in the late afternoon and

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 kitche
WORST FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN IN ITALY
This place is awful. Perhaps the worst food we have ever had in Italy. The Bellini's and food are outrageously overpriced. Staff is snobby and waiters who tend tables do not seem to understand English well or just don't care. $277.00 ($302.00 US)
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
If you're expecting the Cipriani you get when you book them
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.
Forza Harry!
If you overlook the €€€ and absorb the tradition and atmosphere, Harry’s Bar has to be visited. We strolled in for a late morning Bellini, snack and coffee. De rigeur for people and staff watching! The most divine chicken sandwiches (same as
Words Cannot Express the Disappointment
I’ve never written a one star review for a venue or service in my entire life. Especially with the Venetian economy being so delicate and dependent on tourism, I try to go out of my way to provide any support possible. This was hands down, the wors
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 we
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 e

AVOID - tourist trap
This place is so awful it’s unreal. Poor service and mediocre drinks for extortionate prices. The reviews will catch up with them at some point. Avoid it at all costs, it’s not worth the money.
Avoid, overpriced tourist trap without any history
As devotees of historical bars, we had been looking forward to visiting for years. What a disappointment, you enter into a room which appears to have lost any history years ago. Cram into a chair and attempt to gain the surly service. Drinks are serv
Harry's Bar, the original location of the global Cipriani

Great history in this establishment but maybe share a Bellini as they cost 22euros each! Convenient location close to San Marco and the vaporetto.
The bell has tolled
25 dollars is a lot to pay for a single drink. Even if you only hang out in the super luxe bars of New York and the Côte d’Azur I hope that all reasonable people can agree that 25 dollars…. for …. one… drink…. Is a lot. I am prepared to
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 America
It was OUTSTANDING! Yes, €22 is a lot for a Bellini but
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
Connect with users posting reservations for Harry's Bar Venezia
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Harry's Bar Venezia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Harry's Bar Venezia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Harry's Bar Venezia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Harry's Bar Venezia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Harry's Bar Venezia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
