Are these details incorrect?

1. Gran Caffè Doney

One of the best spots in the world to sit under the magnolias, sip cappuccino and watch passers-by - although they’re mostly tourists now not the celebrities of old (see Cafés and Gelaterie).
2. Café de Paris

This café has always been the landmark of dolce vita lifestyle along this glossy strip. It’s still a magical place to sip an espresso or partake of a light snack.
3. Harry’s Bar

Noted for its clubby American style - a dry Martini, tuxedo and cigar sort of place, featuring a piano bar, a restaurant with gourmet cuisine, and a café with tables outside. Be prepared to spend lavishly.
4. La Terrazza dell’Eden

At the top of the erstwhile premier celebrity hotel, this bar-restaurant has perhaps the best views in Rome. It’s perfect for a romantic tête-à-tête or any special do (see Eden).
5. Gran Caffè Roma

Located in an elegant curve of the street, with outdoor tables at the bottom of a broad staircase. A great spot to linger over your cappuccino and newspaper.
6. R & Co

Nothing short of fabulous is this collection of designer shoes, leather goods and other fashions.
7. Bruno Magli

If the cachet of spending vast quantities of cash appeals, this shop should be top on your list for your next shoe purchase.
8. Jackie O’

As the name implies, this was a leading watering-hole and club in the 1960s. It still attracts international stars. Call ahead if you are not world-famous.
9. Hard Rock Café

It was inevitable that this international chain would choose Via Veneto for its Roman home. Serves standard American fare.
10. Arion

Independent bookstore specializing in exquisite art books. It stays open until 10pm on Sundays..
