Venice Restaurants and Bars, Italy Luxury Vacations, Tours and Travel Packages




Harry's Bar

Calle Vallaresso, 1323, Venice, Italy

This is one of Venice's best restaurants and for good reasons. Saying that the service is excellent is an understatement and the menu features only the freshest and best quality ingredients. The Risottos and the Creamy Cod are popular menu selections. The bar maintains the same high caliber, and has excellent Martinis. The space is somewhat small and cozy, so it is recommended that reservations are made in advance, especially in September.

Caffe Florian


The Cafè Florian, opened on 29 December 1720 under the arcades of the Procuratie Nuove in Piazza S.Marco, may rightfully claim to be one of the city's symbols. The Florian has been for almost 280 years serving its Venetian, Italian and international patrons, who have appreciated its special ambience and impeccable service. Often you may find yourself sitting next to screen or jet set stars or other luminaries from the world of culture.

For those who wish a "tangible memory" of their stay at the Florian there are refined products which stand witness to the Cafè's taste and history.

The Cafè also makes the summers more appealing by adopting the outside Cafè Concert, following a tradition almost centennial.
Furthermore, although stepped in tradition, the Florian is actively engaged in organizing top-quality and of great interest cultural shows, of contemporary art in particular.

Gran Caffe Quadri

Piazza San Marco 121, Venice
