Harry’s Dolce Vita

Harry’s Dolce Vita is always a delight to visit. The warm, elegant atmosphere and attentive service make it a place we keep coming back to. While everything on the menu is delicious, the pasta is simply outstanding – perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. And the fried zucchini? Absolutely exceptional – light, crisp, and addictive. A true must-try. Every meal here feels like a little trip to Italy in the heart of London.

I made a reservation for nine adults, but the restaurant insisted that we could only order from a set menu, not the regular one. I was fine with the deposit and their rules, but I explained that we wanted to try the restaurant’s regular menu. Unfortunately, they refused and told me it was only possible to have a set menu for a group of nine. Because of that, I cancelled the original booking, and each of us made a separate reservation instead so that we could all order from the regular menu. When we arrived, everyone was able to order from the regular menu without any issue, which made me even more confused about why the restaurant refused it in the first place. The service itself was good overall, but I think the restaurant should improve the attitude of some of the waiters — a few of them seemed a bit arrogant or easily irritated with guests. Unfortunately, this is something I’ve noticed in several restaurants around London. As someone who also works in the hospitality field, I believe staff should always treat guests kindly and professionally, regardless of the situation.

I had a wonderful experience at Harry’s! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, you can really taste the care and quality in every bite. The staff were incredibly attentive and offered excellent service from start to finish. We were celebrating my mom’s birthday, and they very kindly surprised us with a complimentary happy birthday for her, such a thoughtful gesture that made the evening even more special. And of course, everything tasted amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to all my friends, family, and anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in the heart of London.

We went for the famous mushroom shaped desert and it was amazing, as well as the other foods. Really good place to have an italian dinning expeirence near Harrods.

Ashish was the best, very nice hospitality, good energy and smile! Made us feel comfortable and had friendly, gave us a birthday treat on the house. Please let him know he’s doing a wonderful job.

الاكل لذيذ لدرجة نسيت اصور، يحتاج حجز. The food was amazing! I ordered truffle pasta, chicken, and burrata cheese — all were sooo yummy. On my next visit, I’ll definitely go there again. We also ordered dessert, but for me, it was just okay. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures — I only have one of the dessert 🤣

“The pasta was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The famous pita with sweet mushroom has a new look compared to before, but the taste is still very good and enjoyable. Overall, a great dining experience.”

The food selection was very elegant The menu is very much Italian really enjoyed the spaghetti and the appetizers. However, the salad was very basic no flavors and nuts worth for that price Customer service was very busy. The waiter was cold a bit and everyone seems to be busy doing something. It took long to get out older. However, the guy on the ball was so nice. He’s from Honduras and I would like to thank him for his kindness.

We had breakfast at Harry’s yesterday and it was such a wonderful experience. The food was beautifully presented and delicious — from the hearty breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, and fresh bread, to the playful and creative mushroom-shaped dessert that was as stunning to look at as it was to eat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made everything even better. A special thank you to Enes, the manager, who was absolutely fantastic — attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Overall, it was a memorable breakfast experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

We were originally looking for brunch places around Harrods until this restaurant peaked our interest. It didn’t fail to impress, everything from the deco, the food & the service were spot on. The managed to find us a table which was appreciated it.

Really enjoyed the food, we came for my cousins birthday and the staff surprised her with a birthday profiterole which was lovely. Leo, Adrian and Isabella served us with impeccable service, would definitely return :)

We had an unforgettable lunch at Harry’s Dolce Vita. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere was buzzing — lively, warm, and full of great energy. The reception greeted us immediately, and after only a few minutes we were shown to our table. The service throughout was exceptional. The entire team was professional and attentive, but we especially want to mention Leo and Enes, who were fantastic hosts. Their communication, friendliness, and genuine warmth made the experience feel even more special. For lunch, we ordered the Steak and Egg — thinly-sliced and chargrilled rump steak with garlic and rosemary, served with thick cut chips, a fried hen’s egg, and hollandaise sauce. Absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and well presented. Overall, everything from the atmosphere to the service and food was outstanding. Harry’s Dolce Vita truly delivered a memorable dining experience, and we look forward to returning soon.

We had an incredible meal at Harry’s Dolce Vita — every dish was memorable from start to finish. We ordered the famous pasta, which lived up to the hype — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The arancini were golden, crisp, and comforting, with just the right balance of filling and texture. We paired our meal with a beautifully chilled white wine that was light, aromatic, and perfectly complemented every course without overpowering. It elevated the whole experience. And then came the mushroom dessert — unexpected, whimsical, and completely delightful. A bold twist that somehow worked brilliantly. Creative, beautifully presented, and surprisingly addictive. The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, and the service was polished without being stuffy. Highly recommend for a special meal in London — especially if you want classic Italian with a touch of magic.

This place is amazing. The staff, food, atmosphere is second to none. We had the best night ever after a bad day prior so we finished on a high note. They also take allergies and intolerance very serious so if you have an allergy you can be confident they’ll look after you. Prices for such an amazing place are very reasonable.

Went with a friend , not the first time but I visited this place years ago ! We had to book a table few days before and I am glad we did cuz the place was full Nice , quiet environment . Very elegant & simple decoration . You get welcomed first thing and led to your table. We went at 2:00 so it was the brunch menu We ordered breaded chicken ( Melanese ) that comes with green leaf and few plum tomato halves . We ordered sea bass fillet with courgette rings that was so delicious but very oily & courgette fried that was so nice & big portion We had to try their signature pudding the toad chocolate & ice-cream and it was worth the try Zucchini fries £7.95 Chicken Milanese £19.95 Sea bass fillet £27.95 Dessert was £13.95 Coke £5.50 Service charge was 13.5%

Don’t remember the polish lady who served us but well done, the service was extraordinary and the food was pleasant ♥️

Ashish gave us great hospitality, gave us such a great experience, he’s so kind and friendly :) he gave us a birthday treat on the house as well 🤍

A lovely go to Italian nestled inside Knightsbridge, pistachio toadstool dessert is so unique & delicious!

Brunch at Harry’s Dolce Vita in knightsbridge was simply delightful – a perfect blend of elegance and authentic Italian charm. The atmosphere captures ‘La Dolce Vita’ beautifully, with exquisite food, refined service, and that timeless Harrods touch. An unforgettable brunch experience.

I prefer this branch over the others - the service is completely different, and the staff are lovely. Great food as always, especially the seafood spaghetti.

I really love the food here. This is the most perfect Italian restaurant in my opinion. But remember to make a reservation when you come, because it's very popular and you'll have to wait in line if you don't.

Solid food, uninspired drinks menue, nice location. Overall a why not, close to Harrods, but well, exiting is different.

Highly recommend the seafood pasta and the toadstool! Clams linguine and cocktails were average. Service was great but one star off atmosphere as a street person was able to come up to all outdoor tables to ask for money and the staff was too preoccupied to notice/ take action.

The restaurant was nice, and the staff member who served us was very kind. When a beggar approached us while we were sitting outdoors, she handled the situation very respectfully and even apologized to us for the incident. As for the food, the Burrata pizza was delicious, the Margherita was just okay, but their dough was excellent. The truffle pasta was too heavy, and the portion was small, not really worth it. The service was fast, and the location is great. The outdoor seating is nice, but the indoor area was very crowded when we visited.

We booked the private dining room for a client holiday lunch and I have to say how incredibly impressed I was. First of all the room was so cute and festive and just the right size for around 10 of us. Also love the private members club feel, since it’s tucked away outside. It was intimate enough so that we could all hear each other but also allowed for side conversations and a bit of a fun vibe. The food was also incredible: lots of selection; something for everyone; really tasty; and huge portion sizes. Finally the service was terrific — given that we were hosting our clients, I really wanted everything to go well and I’m so grateful to the team at Harry’s for making the meal so special.

the manager here is absolutely amazing and he’s so sweet. He looked after my table really well. He went the extra mile by providing us with a birthday dessert, given it was my partners birthday. His excellent communication and welcoming spirit really lit up the restaurant and we had a phenomenal night. One to truly remember!

This is a nice place I occasionally visit with my family. The food is relatively good, but the portion sizes vary each time. Service can be very friendly at times, while other times, they seem indifferent. However, as long as the taste and portion sizes remain consistent, I’ll keep coming back. The French restaurant next to Harrods has a slightly antique feel, but they recently opened a new branch near Victoria Station. It’s not in the photos, but I recommend the calamari and truffle mushroom pizza. From the photos, I highly recommend the tomato-based cheese and aubergine dish.

The service was genuinely warm and attentive. We went for the set menu and it was excellent value, and the pudding was honestly adorable!

I have to say, I have now been 4 times and every time is amazing! The truffle pasta always brings me back… this time we came on Father’s Day which included a magician called Joseph Glass around the restaurant. He was fabulous and really interacted with us as a table. Food service was quick, tasted amazing and the price for the surroundings are reasonable. I always enjoy people watching and seeing the amazing cars outside.

Loved every bite of my Tagliolini !! Perfectly creamy and pieces of truffle. Good portion of fries, would definitely be back again :) not halal but seafood is served The restaurant is slightly small, outdoor seating is available and probably better so reservation would be ideal!

We had to try Harry’s just before leaving London so we tried calling the number to book a table with no answer and we just showed up at 10 pm. the receptionist didn’t even double check if there is any empty tables and as he said all booked so we sat at the bar area although the tables were getting empty by the second and we obviously don’t drink. Anyhow I glad I have a nice time at the bar with Lea and Angel she suggested the best mocktail it was super yummy , great pasta , excellent espresso, the dessert looked better that it tasted overall lovely restaurant.

Surprisingly into it!! Went on a sunny day and sat outside, which definitely helped set the mood. I wasn’t expecting to love it — I’m usually a bit skeptical of this type of “scene-y” Italian — but honestly? I really liked it. Had the classics: the Harry’s tagliolini to start (yes, the famous one) which is actually a decent portion and super satisfying. Then the mushroom dessert and it’s not just for show, it’s genuinely good. Almost too pretty to eat, but I managed. My friend had pizza, and to be fair, it was a legit pizza. Like, proper. Would go back — especially on a nice day when you can sit outside.

We like the restaurant’s atmosphere.. The recommendation for food ..

This Italian restaurant has several branches in London and specializes in authentic Italian food. The dishes are delicious, and I would definitely recommend it. Sometimes the service outside on the terrace isn’t the best, but inside the restaurant it’s usually better. Their pizzas are made professionally and are a highlight, along with a wide variety of pasta dishes. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone who loves Italian cuisine.

Very loud restaurant, but nice staff. Food was okay however the pizza we ordered were a little dry and bland. Was lacking some taste. A bit too expensive for the drinks. Overall an okay place.

Was disappointed with the overall experience. Whilst the food came out quickly, both the Ragu Bolognese and the Truffle Chicken that was order d was cold. The Bolognese pasta especially wasn't good as it felt like it had been reheated. Service from the waiters wasn't very good, with it taking time to be served

I love the atmosphere here but the food is just okay. Nothing particularly special. I ordered the seafood pasta which was a little bland, gritty muscles and tough squid. The two sheet lasagna is very thin and barely touched the sides for my partner. Again, I love the vibes but the food isn’t all that. Also the guests have to either choose all festive menu or all normal menu, you can’t have one guest get the festive and the rest get the regular menu, which is daft.

Firstly, we arrived before our reservation time and were seated at a table with a sofa and the table in front of us, in a very cramped space where we couldn’t even talk comfortably. There were plenty of staff, but the service was very slow and not attentive. The food was disappointing, bland and lacking flavor. I ordered their famous chicken, and it was nothing special: dry and tasteless. My friend ordered the pasta with aubergine, which came with just two pieces of aubergine a real disappointment given the price. Overall, not a great experience.

Our pasta dishes were simply average. They were competently cooked but lacked the memorable flavour and special touch one. The Gamberi Nduja (prawn dish) was not too bad, it’s little spicy. However, the evening was saved by the dessert. "Harry's Toadstool" was a whimsical and delicious triumph. The combination of white chocolate, mascarpone mousse, and fresh raspberries was a delight and the highlight of our visit. Ultimately, while the ambiance and service are spot-on, the pastas disappoint.

For food, absolutely 5 star; for service, absolutely no star. The waitress for our table was quite rude to us while smiling at other tables nicely. She didn’t ask us if we’d like some drinks to start but we saw her asking nicely at tables around us, she put (or shall I say THREW) the cutlery for us in a very rude way, making loud noises that both me and my friend were astonished. When asked whether I’d like some cheese or chili oil for my seafood spaghetti, I said yes some cheese please and when she brought and grated the cheese, she was very rude as well and sprinkled the cheese all over the place and even some in my tea and on my clothes!!! My friend was shocked by this action and so was I. We are here to spend the money hoping to have a good time, not to be treated badly and be disappointed. It seems like she’s having a bad day, but weirdly only took it on us. Was it because we were the only non white group during that time? I don’t wanna make assumptions, but it seems like so and it still frustrates me when I’m recalling the experience and writing this down. Also, just to clarify, there is actually NO service at all. Everything was on request, and even if you requested, no one would actually pay attention to you, you will need to be ignored for several times until you “beg” for their attention and help by repeatedly saying “excuse me please.” No one asked us whether we would like some water when we sat down on the table while other tables got asked so; no one would come and ask whether you’d like your starters and main dish separate or come together and they just brought everything together on a small table; no one would care to come and ask if everything is alright during the meal while other tables were asked nicely. In a sum, no one cared about us even just for some basic needs, and they put on a mean face. And I paid 13.5% service fee. Where’s the proper service???? The only one star I gave was for the manager who passed our table and randomly said “Bon appetite” and that’s the only nice thing we’ve got today.

I’m not sure food can be worse than in Harry’s. The produce is from Tesco. You wouldn’t find such a low quality food anywhere. I had food poisoning in Harry’s in autumn 2024, now I tried again and it’s the same lowest quality. Not recommended.
