The people at the famed Harry's Bar have established their latest enclave far from the maddening crowds of Piazza San Marco on this little-visited island.
From the quayside windows of this chic place, you can watch seagoing vessels, from yachts to lagoon barges.
White napery and uniformed waiters grace a modern room, where no one minds if you order only coffee and ice cream or perhaps a selection from the large pastry menu.
Popular items are the zabaglione cake, carpaccio Cipriani, chicken salad, club sandwiches, gnocchi, and house-style cannelloni.
