  • 1. Spritz

    Unrivalled Venetian favourite of white wine with a splash of Bitter, Aperol or Select (apéritif brands) and a shot of mineral water.

  • 2. Prosecco

    Excellent naturally sparkling dry white wine from the hills around Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.

  • 3. Bellini

    Smooth fresh peach juice and sparkling Prosecco blend, invented by Cipriani of Harry’s Bar (see Harry’s Bar).

  • 4. Red Wine

    An ombra means a small glass of house wine, otherwise try quality Cabernet, Valpolicella or Amarone.

  • 5. White Wine

    Soave and Pinot Grigio are worthwhile alternatives to house varieties.

  • 6. Mineral Water

    Widely consumed in Italy, either sparkling (con gas ) or still (senza gas ). Tap water is acqua dal rubinetto .

  • 7. Fruit Drinks

    These can be ordered as spremuta (freshly squeezed juice) or succo di frutta (bottled nectars).

  • 8. Coffee

    Straight espresso , frothy cappuccino or caffè latte in a tall glass with hot milk.

  • 9. Tea

    Usually served with a slice of lemon, though herbal tea (infuso ), such as camomile, is common.

  • 10. After-dinner Sgroppino

    A well-kept local secret concocted with lemon sorbet, vodka and Prosecco.
