Recipe from Harry’s Bar in Venice DINNER BY THE MOVIES AT SHORELINE’S Harry’s Bar opened in 1931 when Giuseppe Cipriani, an enterprising bartender at the Hotel Europa in Venice, got some fi nancial assistance from a rich, young American from Boston named Harry Pickering. According to Cipriani company history, Pickering had been a customer at the Hotel Europa for some time, suddenly stopped frequenting the hotel bar. Cucina Venti Cipriani saw Pickering one day and asked why he no longer patronized the bar. Pickering was broke, he explained to the bartender -- his family cut him off when it was discovered he had not curtailed his recklessness and fondness for drinking. So, Cipriani loaned his patron a chunk of cash -- about 10,000 lire, or $5,000 U.S.. Two years later, Pickering walked back into the Hotel Europa, ordered a drink at the bar, handed 10,000 lire to Giuseppe Cipriani – he then handed Cipriani more. “Mr. Cipriani, thank you. Here’s the money. And to show you my appreciation, here’s 40,000 more, enough to open a bar. We will call it Harry’s Now accepting reservations Bar,” Located on Calle Vallaresso, close to the Piazza San Marco, the bar -- as the Cipriani’s for your holiday party! have always called it -- was fi rst conceived as a hotel bar, serving no food, and later transformed into a restaurant. There are many imitators, but only one Harry’s Bar.
