Heritage Since 1931
On May 13th, 1931, the dream of a lifetime became a reality. Giuseppe Cipriani opened the doors to Harry’s Bar in a former rope warehouse, located off the busy Piazza San Marco, in the heart of Venice.
Harry's Bar has been one of the most renowned venues in the world.
In 1983, the family established Cipriani Food, roviding recipes and a curated selection of the finest products inspired by their heritage. The same values of research for quality, attention to detail, simple flavors, and excellent service is carried on by generations of the family for over 90 years.
All products are crafted in Italy according to the highest standards overseen by the family.
The Original Bellini In 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani, inspired by Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini, concocted a pink, fruity drink using his most favorite fruit. Little did he know the impact it would make on the world of cocktails.
Peaches were in abundance throughout Italy from June through September, and Giuseppe had a fondness for the white ones. He wondered if there was a way to transform the magic fragrance and taste into a drink that he could offer at Harry's Bar. He experimented by pureeing the small white peaches and adding some Prosecco. Those who tested this new beverage gave it rave reviews, and he was encouraged to pursue his alchemy. He named it Bellini and from that day on the drink became part of Harry's Bar and all Cipriani restaurants around the world.
