Established in 1973 as an American bar, Harry's Bar in Cernobbio is now part of the Villa d'Este group.
A jetsetter rendezvous
The establishment gained fame for its retro ambiance, dishes influenced by Italian and Milanese traditions, and as a jetsetter rendezvous for notable figures such as Robert de Niro, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, Denzel Washington, Liza Minelli and members of the economic elite.
A special location with a panoramic view
Situated in Cernobbio’s charming square, Harry's Bar enjoys a special location with a panoramic view of the lake and has preserved its timeless charm. In 2009 the bar came under the ownership of three Como entrepreneurs: Francesco Ugoni, Giuseppe Mantero, and Riccardo Marazzi. They aimed to preserve the establishment's essence - a blend of elegance, hospitality, and high-level cuisine.
Upholding the traditions of a unique venue
The menu at Harry's Bar highlights typical Italian dishes crafted from fresh ingredients, often sourced locally, and draw inspiration from Italian and Milanese traditions, with an added touch of international flair.
With the recent acquisition by Villa d'Este, the goal is to uphold the establishment's traditions and concept, while introducing innovations that respect its storied past. “We are very happy to now also include Harry's Bar within our group,- said Villa d’Este chairman, Giuseppe Fontana. -It is our firm belief that working to maintain the DNA and the classic style of this venue, while keeping an eye on the future, is something that will help consolidate its success and maintain it over time.”
