About this listen

The complete history of the legendary Venice landmark where Hemingway, Welles, and others were regulars.

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, Harry’s Bar in Venice has remained one of the world’s most renowned watering holes for more than 60 years. Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Sinclair Lewis, and other luminaries have tasted its famous cocktails and enjoyed the bar’s original inventions, such as the "carpaccio" appetizer and the now-ubiquitous bellini. Filled with engaging wit and lighthearted charm, Arrigo Cipriani’s history of Harry’s Bar is a delightful listen - and the next best thing to a table at Harry’s Bar itself.

The story behind a Venice gem

If you have ever ordered a Bellini at Harry’s Bar in Venice, then this book is for you. The first third was outstanding: the father’s tale of creating the iconic bar. The second third was very good: the continuance of the bar’s tradition until today. The last third was ok: creation of the replica bar in New York City (interesting) and the son’s views on, well, everything else (a bit off putting). Overall still an exceptional listen.
