Restaurant Name: Harry's Bar
This may have been once the most famous bar in Venice, the place Hemingway was fond of hanging out in (and getting drunk in, no doubt). These days it is a tourist trap, full of people who think they may get some kind of Venetian experience by spending $250 or more on two plates of so-so food.
The famous Bellini is a watered down version of what you can buy in any grocery store in a bottle for a fraction of the price...The food is OK, but you can tell how shocked people are by the prices and by eating a mediocre meal (and very small portions). We were lucky enough to be invited, but believe me it was a total waste of money. Some of the food on the table tasted worse than what I have had in Venice in cheap bars at 1/10 of the price!
We live in Venice now, so I am unhappy to see how people get trapped into this kind of place!
Favorite Dish: The sparkling water!
