An Eastern Corner of the Italian Legend

LEGEND SINCE 1931

Precursor of Cipriani – Harry’s Bar Venice

On May 13, 1931, Giuseppe Cipriani Senior opened Harry’s Bar in Venice. Over the years, Harry’s Bar became the place where writers, painters, artists, aristocrats, kings and queens would meet. Among them there were: Barbara Hutton, Katherine Hepburn, Gary Cooper, Giancarlo Menotti, Peggy Guggenheim, Orson Welles, Frank Lloyd Wright, Joe di Maggio, Truman Capote and Ernest Hemingway. The keys to the success of this tiny Bar were: service, freedom and lack of imposition and this is the Precursor of Cipriani.

CIPRIANI

Simple, Elegant, Good Food

The family went international in 1985 under the Cipriani name when it expended branches in New York, Las Vegas, Miami London, Moscow, Dubai etc. Four generations of Cipriani’s have turned a restaurant into a universally recognized icon of hospitality, which nobody has yet succeeded in replicating. The obsessive attention to detail and uncompromising quality has led to the establishment of Cipriani Food. Luxury in simplicity finds it core meaning in the highest quality Artisanal food products.

THE HERITAGE FOOD

Carpaccio

In Venice in 1950 a major retrospective of the work of Vittore Carpaccio, the Renaissance painter, was offered at the Doge’s Palace. That same fall Countess Amalia Nani Mocenigo, one of the habitues of Harry’s Bar came in for lunch and being clearly upset informed Giuseppe Cipriani that her doctor had put her for a few weeks on a “no cooked meat” diet. Giuseppe, always up for a challenge, vanished into the kitchen and reappeared some time later with what became the Carpaccio alla Cipriani, a beautiful display of paper-thin sheets of raw filet mignon laced with a white sauce.

THE HERITAGE FOOD

The Original Bellini

In 1948 Giuseppe Cipriani, inspired by Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini, concocted a pink fruity drink pureeing those small white peaches that he loved so much. Little did he know the impact It would make on the world of cocktails.

In creating what was to become known as the Bellini cocktail in 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani was once again inspired by a painter, the fifteenth century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. Peaches were in abundance throughout Italy from June through September, and he had a predilection for the white ones. So much so, in fact, that he kept wondering whether there was a way to transform this magic fragrance into a drink he could offer at Harry’s Bar.
