Delightful little book that shares some of the history of Harry's Bar in Venice Italy. It starts with autobiographical info from the original owner. Then his son takes over the book as well as the bar. Talks about how the bar came into existence, thanks to the help of a wealthy Englishman. Arrigo, the son, talks about how his dad ran came up with the bellini and some of the dishes that the bar is known for. A chapter is devoted to famous people who have frequented the bar with particular emphasis on Hemingway. An almost odd chapter that is devoted to nothing but the tableware and furniture of a restaurant. It's obvious that the author loves his job as a saloonkeeper. The book just really makes you want to go to a lounge somewhere and have cocktails and nice conversations with friends. Reminiscent of time's past when men wore hats and women were always in heels. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
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 sixty 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 delight to read--and the next best thing to a table at Harry's Bar itself.

Cipriani writes about the various business deals by people who wanted to borrow on the bar's famous name, and the famous incident in 1987 when the Ciprianis were literally pushed out of their Fifth Ave. restaurant in a hostile takeover. ( )
