Harry's Bar in Venice is the 1931 institution opened by Giuseppe Cipriani — named after American benefactor Harry Pickering — that gave the world two iconic creations: the Bellini cocktail (1948) and beef carpaccio (1950). Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Truman Capote, Aristotle Onassis, and Princess Diana all had their tables here. The Bellini — fresh white peach purée mixed with dry Prosecco, named after Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini — has been on the menu, unchanged, for over 75 years.
