Hala says
Where Giuseppe Cipriani invented the Bellini (white peach + Prosecco) in 1948 and where Hemingway parked at the bar for two decades.
Yes, a Bellini costs €27. Yes, the room is small and clubby and feels exactly like 1955 (it should; almost nothing about it has changed). Sit at the bar rather than a table; table service adds a surcharge. The bar gives you the view of the door. The Bellini is best March–September when white peaches are in season; the rest of the year they use frozen purée and it's not the same. Order one, drink slowly, leave.
