relatively high (40,000 lire (€20) for a bowl of minestrone, in 2001). Expansion Harry's Bar is today "the anchor to a global brand, positioned around the Cipriani name." In New York City, the Ciprianis run the restaurants Harry Cipriani, Cipriani 42nd Street, and DownTown, a travel company, and a catering company. Buenos Aires is home to three more outlets. In Venice, the Ciprianis also own Harry's Dolci. The Cipriani brand also includes lines of pastas, sauces, olive oils, coffee, books, and kitchenware. In 2007 the Ciprianis pleaded guilty to tax evasion in the United States. In 2012, with debts of over €6m, the bar was sold to Luxembourg-based investment group Blue Skye. Reception Anthony Bourdain was of the opinion that, "you get a pretty good plate of food—and the Bellinis are just fine. They just cost a fuck of a lot. But they do treat you courteously and it is Venice out the window—and everything's expensive anyway."
