This was such a perfect date night spot! The service was incredible, and the food was so delicious. Highly recommend trying this place, you won't regret it. The bartender even made us our drinks that we requested that weren't on the menu and they were delish!!

Smoke and mirrors! The menu whilst quite expensive (but you are opposite Harrods) has an amazing choice of food. My husband had prawns to start , which were very good. I had endive salad with blue cheese and nut dressing . Whilst very fresh and plenty of cheese , there was no dressing at all. Pointed this out to our very Jovial waiter , who just smiled and totally ignored me. The main course came. I had sole and clams. Out of the several clams on my plate only 3 had clams inside which had been massively over cooked. There was no rosemary on the “rosemary chips” which were additional, again pointed this out to the jolly waiter , who again ignored me. It’s the first time ever we asked for the service charge to be removed from the bill. It’s a beautiful place and as previously stated an excellent menu. They clearly do not need to worry about a steady flow of wealthy customers. But, this was a special meal for us. Sorry to say, we won’t be returning!

First time here, we couldn’t get a seat inside even with reservation so we sat outside, which was ok but very cold as it is February. There are patio heaters but they were doing absolutely nothing. It’s a fabulous location right at the back of harrods, watching the luxury world go by is fabulous, the bonus of being outside was you could spot all the beautiful handbags going past on lovely ladies arms. I could have done that all day. Anywho, service was ok we were given a gentleman that looked like he didn’t want to be there and had just rolled out of bed, there was another lady outside and she was fabulous but she wasn’t serving us unfortunately. Our waiter was quite questioning and was condescending in his tone, I thought he was just that way with us but it turned out he was talking that way to everyone. The staff inside were great they took my phone to charge it as it was dead and it was charged fully within about half an hour! I ordered the salmon and egg on toast and it was very delicious. I also had a cocktail which was disappointing it came to me in a martini glass that was spilling everywhere! Prices I think were overpriced however it is where it is so compensated I guess. Lovely earl grey tea in a gorgeous teapot. Complimentary water at the table. Bathroom was a bit of a mess tbh, surprised at that, and every customer inside the restaurant when I walked in looked miserable as sin and like robots. It was a weird eerie feeling tbh, but perhaps that’s what rich looks like? Would I go back again? Yes most likely, because I didn’t get to try the toadstool dessert as I was full. but I will definitely book further in advance to hopefully get an inside table.

Awful visit for lunch- restaurant was dusty which I pointed out to the manager. He then changed our seats. The new chair was so wobbly- a hazard. When I informed the duty manager nothing was done. I tried e mailing the restaurant to let them know but there was poor response. Absolutely shocking experience.

Excellent service, delicious food. Our waiter was very friendly and funny. Food was lovely, great cocktail and wine list Service was extremely quick (maybe too quick) could be good for some! But for us a table of 7 celebrating we would have preferred slightly longer waits between ordering/courses

We have been to Harry’s many times and it was one of our favourite restaurants in London for a date night/lunch when we were in the city. We had requested a window table when we booked and understandably were informed that they would put the request in but it wasn’t guaranteed. We accepted that. On arriving on time we were shown to a table at the back of the restaurant as far away as you could get from anywhere else, tucked away in a walkway corridor. We weren’t happy when we saw it and asked to move. At first the waitress told us that that was the only table and we explained that we had requested a window table. She said that there weren’t any and you can’t request tables. We saw some free little tables opposite the window and said that we’d be happy with one of those. She told us no, they had been requested, that was less than a minute after she had advised you couldn’t request tables! Eventually we did get a window table and an apology from the manager who advised that the lady was in fact wrong and that the tables hadn’t been requested but were in a first come first served. Very strange as we were obviously first as the tables were free. Anyhow we had a window table. On to the food. I ordered the truffle risotto which again I have had many times as it’s so delicious and smells divine when they lift the lid. Not this time. It arrived luke warm, watery and completely tasteless. It wasn’t creamy at all, the grains of rice were separated not the way a risotto should be. I informed the waiter and he said it was the same chef as always but would I like to order something different. I did but by the time it came my husband had finished his meal. We wanted to order the signature ‘Toadstool’ dessert but apparently that had run out at 6pm which was disappointing also. We ordered other desserts which were lovely but they forgot to bring our dessert wines with them and by the time we had reminded them and they arrived, we had finished our desserts. We didn’t stay for coffee as we were so disappointed, we went back to our hotel and had them there. It was a very disappointing evening when we had been looking forward to it so much. I hope it was a one off but sadly I don’t know if we will return.

My family and I had wanted to visit this restaurant for some time and decided that it would be lovely to end a special Christmas treat day in London, with dinner at Harry's. Unfortunately the evening in this restaurant was anything but a treat! Firstly we arrived to be told that people were still occupying our table. That's fine we said, maybe we can have a drink in the bar while we wait? No - we were told by the uncharismatic front staff, the bar is busy, please can you wait outside. It was -3 degrees outside, this was a very unimpressive start. Eventually we were shown to our table and ordered some drinks. We waited ...and waited.... a waiter then asked if we would like to order our food but we declined saying we would like to at least have a sip of our pre-dinner drink first! 45 minutes later our drinks arrived. We ordered our food and it the food was lovely but they forgot to bring my daughters starter, so we had to wait for that to arrive and then for the main courses, the steak I had ordered as medium rare arrived and was totally 'over' well done, so that had to go back and I ended up eating my main course on my own. Not good. They did remove the steak from the final bill but the meal was not the shared family experience we were hoping for. However, the lowest point of the evening was still to come as while eating our deserts and finishing our wine, we were asked by (i presume) the manager if they could have the table back and that they had already allowed us to have the table for an extra 40 minutes! So incredibly unprofessional, we couldn't believe it. Especially as the delayed time on the table was as a result of the horrendous service we had received. By now worn out with how bad the evening had been, we asked if we could finish our drinks in the bar but were again told that the bar was full. It seems to me that the restaurant is very poorly run and extremely greedy regarding the number of covers they take. I don't think i have ever been asked to wait outside in the cold for my table or not been accommodated regarding an area to finish drinks if a table is required back. When i mentioned this to the staff they just said it wasn't their fault but that simply isn't good enough. It's a shame because overall i think the food is good but the service and the experience is awful. We will never return to this restaurant and I suggest you don't either.

The food at Harry’s Dolce Vita was lovely however when asking for a drink it took three attempts to get the correct drink, we then ordered our food which we made sure to specify what dishes were starters and mains and made it clear that we didn’t want it all together. We then received all dishes together at this point we were fed up with explaining and ate the meal all together. All the dishes were great however the service really let it down and will put us off returning

My best friend and I had a lovely lunch today at Harry’s. The food was utterly delicious and the service from Higia was excellent. She was friendly, helpful and gave great suggestions on the menu. It made our afternoon - we will be back.

This is my second visit to this amazing Italian restaurant! The pizza is the best I have ever tasted and i only wish I lived nearer! The staff can’t not do enough for you.. really friendly, courteous and really quick efficient service. The restaurant decor itself is really beautiful and quirky and everything is gleaming clean. There is also outside seating with heaters and blankets which is lovely for when it starts to get cold in the evenings. The location is over the road from harrods so handy to take a shopping break. I was recommended this restaurant by the receptionist at the Millennium Hotel I was staying at at I can’t thank them enough because I just love it here :)

I boldly showed up without a reservation and was able to snag a spot at the bar where full menu is available. Service was impeccable and the food was truly authentic and beautifully executed. It's now a for sure add to my roster of spots in Knightsbridge. Great ambiance and lovely.

I was a bit disappointed overall. The restaurant is narrow and a bit cramped. We were sat at the rear very near the kitchens, and the wait staff were very noisy talking to each other as well as throwing the plates and cutlery into the kitchen to be washed. Not ideal at all. The frittes were a bit soggy and the Linguine Vongole was average. It had plenty of clams in and looked good but it lacked flavor. I probably wouldn't choose to come here again.

We'd booked in advance for a Saturday lunch for four and it was our first visit. The whole experience from the greeting to paying the bill was seamless and full of great practice. We had plenty of choice from the menu, had a great seat and plenty of attention for an effective team. Love the table settings, the napiery and menus. Lovely loos too by the way. A real success, thank you.
