Restaurant Name: Harry's Bar
We were coming to the end of a busy day, and tried to go up the Campanile - but it was closed - so we decided to go and have a relaxing quiet drink somewhere.
My tourist book highlighted that Harry's Bar was a famous watering hole of Ernest Hemmingway, so we headed towards it..
As the windows are glazed, we could not see inside, so we were shocked when we walked in and discovered that it was quite small and serviced by waiters in white jackets, one of which directed us to a table (with our wooly hats and big bags).
We knew it would not be cheap, but not that expensive! As we looked through the cocktail menu and took our hats off - to show fabulous hat hair - we noticed the Bellini....
Favorite Dish: The Bellini - A cocktail created in Harry's Bar by Giuseppi Cipriani
This was lovely.. just what we wanted - Peach nectar and Prosecco sparkling wine.
To know that it was created where we were sat was a brilliant feeling and made it taste even better...
And, the fact that I would have to be grateful considering it cost 14 Euros each!!
Suffice to say - we didn't eat there!!
