Harry's Bar ★ 4.0

€€€€ VeniceVenetianSan Marco

Harry's Bar on Calle Vallaresso is the 1931 Cipriani family room that invented the carpaccio and the Bellini, the canonical historic-bar lunchroom in San.

OrderBellini at the ground-floor bar, beef carpaccio upstairs, risotto alla primavera.

TipDrinking at the bar costs a fraction of upstairs dining; the Bellini is the reason to stop. Book upstairs through OpenTable a fortnight ahead.

Risotteria Melotti ★ 3.9

€€ FlorenceVenetianCentro Storico

Risotteria Melotti on Via dei Servi is the Florence room of the Melotti rice farm near Verona: a gluten-free menu of risotti cooked with the family's rice.

OrderRisotto all'Isolana (€16), the Veronese original, or the Amarone risotto (€17); rice-flour arancini first.

TipOpen all day from 11:00, two blocks from the Duomo towards Santissima Annunziata, so it works as an off-hours lunch. Sister rooms in Verona, Rome and New York.
