Harry’s Bar created the Bellini – that most delicious cocktail of prosecco and puréed white peach flesh. Today it is still a fantastic bar, attracting tourists from all around the world (mainly the US, it would seem) to try their famous cocktails and wonderful service.

And when I say wonderful, I do mean wonderful. There is absolutely no pretention or rudeness in their manner; they're fast, friendly and efficient; and if you happen to whip a camera out (and believe me, everybody does), they'll come over and take a photo of you.

You may be interested to know that we eschewed a gondola ride in favour of sampling the original Bellini.
