To serve is first to love.

It all started in 1931 when a long-sought dream became reality and Giuseppe Cipriani Sr.

opened the doors of Harry ’s Bar. In a discreet stone building perched along a canal just off

Piazza San Marco in Venice, he created a timeless and impeccably appointed establishment.

His concept was to serve others as you would want to be served yourself. His vision of simple

luxury came to touch the souls of people all over the world.

At Harry ’s Bar in Venice, all clients are treated like royalty. Simple elements such as true service

and devotion have elevated Harry ’s to legendary status. Nonetheless, it became a popular

destination for royalty, dignitaries and celebrities. It was featured in international media and

very quickly word of its impeccable quality and service spread around the world.

Many years later, the son of Giuseppe Sr., Arrigo Cipriani, opened his first restaurant across the

ocean, in New York. The location was perfect, with two big windows that opened towards

Central Park, dividing Manhattan in two. According to Arrigo, he was excited to show people

around the world who had copied the Cipriani name, that names are not what counts. What

you have to copy is what is inside. And with the same spirit and passion of his father, in 1985

Arrigo opened Harry Cipriani on 5th Avenue and started the legacy of what has become one

of the most recognizable hospitality groups in the world.

The secret of Cipriani isn’t about what can be seen or touched, but what can be felt and

sensed. It is intangible but palpable. It can’t be patented, but even after eighty-four years it

hasn’t been duplicated by others.

Four generations of Cipriani have grown a single restaurant into a world renowned hospitality

brand still recognized for its distinguished venues and service all over the world. The same

quality and passion is embodied at Cipriani Yas Island.

THE FOOD

The concept of the food at Cipriani is easy. Simple Italian food done to perfection.

Our chefs come from all over Italy and no matter where they are from, they all use a combination

of local ingredients and products imported directly from Italy; everything is made fresh in the

kitchen every day including our pastas and famous desserts.

The restaurant menu consists of some of our traditional, signature dishes from Harry ’s Bar in

Venice, like the famous baked tagliolini, risotto Primavera, carpaccio alla Cipriani, invented by

Giuseppe Cipriani Sr. in Venice in 1950, calves liver alla Veneziana, vanilla crème meringue

and many others with an addition of items that change daily. For groups, special events, and

parties, we have several set menus available to choose from. They range in price to suit the

budget of the event and we also have a drink package including both alcoholic and non-

alcoholic options.

Cipriani Sr. at Harry ’s Bar in 1948. For events and special occasions there is a place for a DJ

the Yotto Sushi bar, serving the best sections of the fish for sushi, sashimi and tempura. The Bellini
