Harry Cipriani is located at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City in the refined, understated Sherry-Netherland Hotel. This fashionable restaurant is almost an exact duplicate of the original Harry’s Bar in Venice. It is packed daily with chic New Yorkers and visitors from all over the world. Harry Cipriani offers the classic Harry’s Bar menu of unique Cipriani specialties and classic Italian favorites. It has had a two-year makeover and has reopened with most of the former staff. Service is very good, in spite of the crowded and cramped space, especially near the bar. The food could certainly be better, especially for the outrageous prices charged, although the experience is always interesting if not exciting.
