On May 13, 1931, Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in Venice. Over the years, Harry's Bar has become the place where writers, painters, artists, aristocrats, kings, and queens would meet. Among them were: Barbara Hutton, Katherine Hepburn, Gary Cooper, Giancarlo Menotti, Peggy Guggenheim, Orson Welles, Frank Lloyd Wright, Joe DiMaggio, Truman Capote, and Ernest Hemingway. The keys to the success of this small bar were: service, freedom, and lack of imposition.Throughout its 93-year history, Harry's Bar has witnessed the 20th century in Venice. Its importance was also recognized by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, which declared it a national reference point in 2001. No other public place in Italy had received the same award in the same century.

Hostaria OsottoOsopra was born from a fortuitous meeting, between the streets of Venice.With a coffee and a chat, the dream of opening a restaurant with friends seemed to really take shape for the first time.In August 2017, those that were initially only ideas are transformed into reality, within the walls of a former pub in Calle San Pantalon, a stone's throw from Campo Santa Margherita.It would not make sense to open yet another tourist place in Venice, only to then get confused among the many restaurants around the city.No, Hostaria OsottoOsopra was supposed to be something different. It had to be a place to feel at home, where eating well in Venice became possible at a reasonable price and where the service, always in the hand but always elegant, made me want to come back.At the opening, Hosteria OsottoOsopra looked like this: with the atmosphere of a typical Venetian hostaria, but from the almost gourmet kitchen.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day lunch at Gio’s. With stunning views in the sunshine across the Grand Canal to Saluté and San Georgio we had the most excellent service in these glorious surroundings. The food was first class. Delicate and full of flavour, beautifully presented. We could fault nothing.

This was a special night out for my wife and I while in Italy for a 2 week vacation. Not our first time to Venice but it was our first time to this restaurant. The food and service were beyond compare. Giuseppe made excellent menu recommendations and Micha paired the perfect vino with each course. If you are looking for the most delicious food and top notch service in an outstanding atmosphere this is your place. The seafood, beef, pasta, wine and desserts were levels above the rest!

My entree was served 15 minutes before my partners. I truly believe they forgot his entree ( a burger) but when questioned about where it was, the waiter said it was still being prepared. Other than that the food was fresh and hot, as well as plentiful.
