Celebrity Italian Restaurants in Venice
Where do celebrities eat in Venice?
Harry's Bar, Da Ivo — 2 rooms in Venice where the regulars are famous and the pasta earns it.
Venice's celebrity dining is small and very old. One bar invented both the Bellini and carpaccio and has been collecting famous ghosts ever since; the other is a candlelit canal-side room that hosted a wedding party the whole world photographed.

How to actually get a table in Venice
Prices here are frankly a tourist tax. Order the thing that was invented on the premises and consider the rest scenery.
Menus, owners and reputations change. Larry’s rule stands: call ahead.
