Harry’s evolves without sacrificing its own style
The American Bar Tradition in Florence
“to Leo for a brave Martini.”
…so wrote Burt Lancaster on Leo Vadorini’s scrapbook.
In 1952 Enrico Mariotti was working on his project, the “Boston Bar.” His friend Cipriani persuaded him to use the name “Harry’s Bar,” and from there began the history of one of the most renowned restaurants in Florence, known all over the world also thanks to the skills and friendliness of its Barman Lio Vadorini.
Harry’s Bar Firenze boasts being listed by the Daily Meal as one of the 150 best bars in the world and among the top three in Italy. The great classics, mixed with a sure hand, offered with a touch of originality in presentation.
The iconic Bellini, the timeless Martini cocktail, the inimitable Negroni, the fascinating French 75.
Harry’s Bar American Bar is all this and much more.
Restaurant
Seasonality, innovation and taste, for an unforgettable experience.
Sergio, the 1953 cook, was followed by Romano and then Daniele and now Saverio and then, again, a Harry’s chef will follow, because tradition continues as his secret–as his style.
The flavors follow the rhythm of nature, constantly renewing themselves to offer an ever-changing but deeply recognizable experience. A cuisine that surprises with harmony and refinement, designed to excite from the first bite. Since 1953, until today.
