What Cipriani invented

Two dishes that changed global dining forever

Cipriani's culinary legacy rests on two creations from Harry's Bar Venice that became worldwide standards: the Bellini cocktail and beef carpaccio. Both remain on the menu today, exactly as originally conceived.

Invented 1948 · Harry's Bar Venice

The Bellini Cocktail

In 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani blended white peach puree with chilled Prosecco to create the Bellini. The pale pink color reminded him of the pink tones in a 15th-century painting by Venetian master Giovanni Bellini. The cocktail became so popular it defined the Cipriani brand identity and is now one of the most imitated cocktails on earth. Every Cipriani location opens with a Bellini service. Today's version uses the same proportions: two-thirds white peach puree to one-third Prosecco, never shaken, never on ice.

Estimated current price: $22–$28

Invented 1950 · Harry's Bar Venice

Beef Carpaccio

In 1950, Arrigo Cipriani (Giuseppe's son) created a dish of paper-thin raw beef tenderloin for a Venetian countess whose doctor had forbidden cooked meat. He named it carpaccio after Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio, whose vivid reds and whites matched the dish's appearance. The original Cipriani carpaccio is dressed with a mustard-and-mayonnaise sauce (not olive oil, as later adaptations often use). The dish spread globally and is now one of the most widely imitated antipasti in fine dining. Cipriani's original version remains the benchmark.

Estimated current price: $35–$45

Dinner is the main event

Occasion

Ideal for celebrations

The 42nd Street and Downtown NYC locations are among the most celebrated special-occasion restaurants in New York. The 42nd Street grand ballroom setting is particularly theatrical — the soaring Beaux-Arts interior makes any dinner feel like an event in itself.

Start here

Order the Bellini & carpaccio first

Whatever else you order, begin with a Bellini and the beef carpaccio. These are the two dishes that define Cipriani's culinary legacy. From there, the tagliolini al granchio and veal piccata are the most recommended pasta and secondi from regular diners and critics alike.

About Cipriani

The restaurant group that invented the Bellini and beef carpaccio.

Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in Venice in 1931 with a loan of 10,000 lire from an American guest named Harry Pickering — hence the name. The small canal-side bar quickly became a gathering place for Hemingway, Orson Welles, Truman Capote, Charlie Chaplin, and European royalty. From this single bar, Giuseppe and his son Arrigo built a culinary legacy that includes two of the most widely imitated dishes in global gastronomy: the Bellini cocktail (1948) and beef carpaccio (1950).

Today the Cipriani group is operated by the founder's descendants and maintains a tightly curated portfolio of fine-dining restaurants in New York, Las Vegas, London, Dubai, and Venice. Harry's Bar Venice was declared a national cultural landmark by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage in 2001.

What is Cipriani famous for?

Cipriani is famous for two inventions: the Bellini cocktail (white peach puree and Prosecco, created at Harry's Bar Venice in 1948) and beef carpaccio (paper-thin raw beef tenderloin with mustard sauce, invented in 1950 and named for Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio). The restaurant group is also renowned for its opulent Belle Epoque interiors, impeccable service, and handmade Italian pasta traditions that trace back to Venice in 1931.

Based on diner reports and editorial coverage as of 2025–2026, expect to spend roughly $100–$200+ per person for a full dinner with wine at the NYC or Las Vegas locations.

A Bellini cocktail typically runs $22–$28. Cipriani does not publish an official price list online — confirm current pricing directly with the restaurant or by viewing the current menu on-site.

Where are Cipriani restaurants located?

Cipriani's key U.S. locations include Cipriani 42nd Street (110 East 42nd Street, NYC — the grand Vanderbilt Hall-style venue), Cipriani Downtown (376 West Broadway, NYC SoHo), and Cipriani Las Vegas at The Wynn resort. Internationally, Cipriani operates in Venice (Harry's Bar, the original), London, Dubai, and several other cities. The group also operates event spaces and catering under the Cipriani brand in New York.

What is a Bellini and who invented it?

The Bellini is a cocktail made from white peach puree blended with chilled Prosecco. It was invented in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice. The cocktail's pale pink color reminded him of the pink tones in a painting by 15th-century Venetian master Giovanni Bellini — hence the name. Today every Cipriani location worldwide serves the Bellini as its signature drink, and it remains one of the most widely imitated cocktails in Italian restaurants globally.

Who invented beef carpaccio?

Beef carpaccio was invented in 1950 by Arrigo Cipriani (son of founder Giuseppe) at Harry's Bar in Venice. The dish was created for a regular customer whose doctor had restricted her to raw meat. Arrigo named it after Venetian Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio, whose work featured vivid red and white tones matching the dish's appearance. Cipriani's original carpaccio — paper-thin raw beef tenderloin with a mustard and mayonnaise sauce — remains on the menu at all Cipriani locations today.

Do I need a reservation at Cipriani?

Yes — reservations are strongly recommended, often essential, especially at 42nd Street and Downtown NYC. Cipriani 42nd Street in particular is a popular event and private dining venue. Reservations can typically be made via OpenTable or by calling the restaurant directly. For the Las Vegas location at Wynn, the resort concierge can assist. Walk-in availability is rare at peak dining times.

What is the dress code at Cipriani?

Cipriani maintains a smart casual to business formal dress code at its dining rooms. For 42nd Street and Downtown NYC, business casual is the minimum expectation — jackets are common for men, and the general atmosphere is polished. Cipriani Las Vegas at the Wynn is slightly more relaxed but still dressy. No athletic wear, flip-flops, or casual shorts. When in doubt, dress up: it's a fine-dining landmark, and other diners will be dressed accordingly.

Is Cipriani good for vegetarians?

Cipriani's menu is Italian-forward, which means vegetables and pasta play a genuine role. Vegetarian options include risotto primavera, gnocchi, various salads, pasta in tomato sauce, and most of the antipasti section. That said, the menu is not heavily vegetarian-focused — it is a classic Italian trattoria-luxe menu centered on seafood and veal. The kitchen can typically accommodate vegetarian requests with notice; it's worth calling ahead or requesting at booking if you have specific dietary needs.

What is Cipriani Las Vegas?

Cipriani Las Vegas is located at the Wynn Las Vegas resort on the Strip. It serves the same signature Italian menu as the NYC locations — Bellinis, beef carpaccio, handmade pastas, and veal classics — in a setting designed to match the opulence of the brand's Venetian heritage. It is one of the more upscale Italian dining options on the Las Vegas Strip and is popular with both visitors and high-rollers. Hours and reservations are available through the Wynn concierge or OpenTable.
