Cipriani’s journey from Venice to Marbella
The long awaited Cipriani has arrived at Puente Romano
We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Cipriani Marbella, a captivating addition to the vibrant culinary scene of Marbella, Spain. With its rich history and impeccable service, Cipriani has become synonymous with exceptional Italian cuisine worldwide. Now, the brand's latest chapter unfolds in the heart of Marbella, offering locals and visitors a truly remarkable dining experience.
A Legacy of Culinary Excellence
Harry's Bar, the legendary establishment founded in Venice by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1931, holds a special place in the history of Cipriani. It was at Harry's Bar that the magic of Cipriani's culinary creations and impeccable service first came to life.
Giuseppe Cipriani named the bar after his American friend, Harry Pickering, who had lent him money when he needed it most. This act of generosity and friendship laid the foundation for an extraordinary venture that would capture the hearts of many.
The discreet entrance to Harry’s Bar in Venice
In the early days, Harry's Bar became a gathering place for locals and international visitors, attracting renowned figures such as Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles. The bar's warm atmosphere and the genuine hospitality extended by Giuseppe Cipriani himself quickly made it a popular destination.

As the reputation of Harry's Bar grew, so did the demand for its signature dishes and inventive cocktails. One such creation is the Bellini cocktail, a delightful combination of fresh white peaches and sparkling Prosecco, which became an instant classic and an iconic symbol of the bar.
Equally renowned is the Carpaccio alla Cipriani, a culinary masterpiece that pays tribute to the 15th-century Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio. This dish features thinly sliced raw beef, delicately arranged on a plate, and adorned with a tangy mustard-infused sauce. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless appeal of Cipriani's culinary artistry.
Transition to Cipriani: Embracing a Distinct Brand Identity
As the torch was passed down through generations, the Cipriani family honoured the legacy of Harry's Bar while expanding the brand's horizons, paving the way for Cipriani's transition to a global hospitality empire. With each new venture, Cipriani sought to recreate the magic and ambiance that made Harry's Bar so special.

During this expansion, Cipriani's reach extended to remarkable destinations around the world. A change in ownership and a desire to establish a distinct brand identity led to the transition from Harry's Bar to the Cipriani name. This transformation allowed each new location to embrace the Cipriani legacy while adding its own unique touch. The journey has taken Cipriani from the canals of Venice to the bustling streets of New York, Hong Kong, Monte Carlo, Dubai, and many other remarkable destinations.
While the iconic Harry's Bar in Venice will always hold a special place in Cipriani's history, the transition to the Cipriani name occurred as the brand expanded its reach and opened new establishments globally. This evolution enabled Cipriani to maintain its legacy of exceptional hospitality and culinary excellence while embracing fresh opportunities to captivate discerning diners worldwide.
