Harry Cipriani is located at the Sherry Netherland Hotel, on 59th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. Opened in 1985, this fashionable restaurant is almost an exact duplicate of the original Harry's Bar in Venice.
“Had date night at Cipriani, the pasta was cooked to perfection along with the sauce! The vanilla cake was the real star of the show it was the fluffiest creamy cake I’ve ever had. Staff was great and attentive from the moment we stepped out of the car throughout the night.”
“Harry’s Cipriani is timeless New York elegance at its finest. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a world of old-school glamour, impeccable service, and effortlessly refined Italian cuisine. The room itself is stunning — crisp white linens, polished wood, and an energy that feels both sophisticated and warm. It’s the kind of place where power lunches, celebratory dinners, and long, memorable evenings all feel perfectly at home. The food is consistently excellent. The classics are where Harry’s truly shines: the carpaccio is delicate and perfectly seasoned, the baked tagliolini with ham is rich and comforting, and the Bellini — their signature — is as iconic as ever. Every dish is prepared with precision, simplicity, and respect for tradition, allowing the quality of the ingredients to speak for itself. Service is polished, professional, and quietly attentive. The staff moves with confidence and grace, anticipating needs without ever being intrusive. It’s the kind of hospitality that feels increasingly rare and incredibly refreshing. Harry’s Cipriani isn’t about trends or flash — it’s about consistency, elegance, and doing things the right way, every time. Whether for a business lunch, special occasion, or classic New York night out, it delivers an experience that feels both luxurious and familiar. A true New York institution that never disappoints.”
“Wonderful holiday lunch- One of those rare experiences where everything feels special. The food was delicious and what made it even better was the service by William, which was impeccable. He was attentive, warm and gracious. He made me feel welcomed and very well taken care of from start to finish. It is an elegant atmosphere and timeless cuisine. I will absolutely return as Harry Cipriani remains a New York classic which I highly recommend.”
“On our arrival, the place was quite busy, felt almost chaotic as the maître d’ checked us in and at the same time barking his orders at his waiters to make sure service was moving. Our coats were checked and everything calmed down once we were seated. George our waiter was engaging, helpful with the menu, and patient with our slow pace. Food recommends by George were great, tuna tartare was excellent to start with, highly recommend the lemon veal piccata, excellent. The pasta dishes were excellent also. Service did slow down after our mains were served as our waiter may have left for the evening, and the waiter who stepped in to help did not check on us to see how are meals were, hence the 4 stars on service. Overall my family enjoyed the restaurant’s ambiance, food and service and we would definitely revisit again on our return to NYC.”
“I love this place. It is such a classic atmosphere with exceptional service. Every bite was delicious. The caviar was perfection. I love their Bellini‘s and lemon cake. I had the spaghetti with Seabass and cherry tomatoes. It was so good. Everything here is so fresh and you never know who you’re going to see sitting next to you such a fabulous New York experience. .”
