About Caffè Concerto New Knightsbridge

On Brompton Rd in London, Caffè Concerto New Knightsbridge is an Italian restaurant sitting directly across from Harrods. The menu runs through mains, traditional dishes, salads and baked items, covering the range from a full sit-down plate to a coffee and pastry order. The bill carries a service charge listed as a "Hospitality Excellence Contribution," added automatically rather than left to discretion. During busier lunch sessions the floor has run on a smaller staff count, and coffee and food have at times arrived separately rather than together. Getting a server's attention to close out the bill at the end of a meal has also been a recurring point among diners. The format suits a full Italian meal or a lighter stop for coffee and dessert alone.

Customer Review Summary

Desserts draw frequent praise, with one reviewer singling out cappuccino with rose flower syrup as "quite fantastic" and others noting the food and cocktails as delicious. Several diners highlight standout service from individual staff members who made visits feel welcoming, especially for breakfast. Close behind, though, is a recurring complaint about slow, inattentive service: reviewers describe waiting long stretches to be noticed, plates not cleared, and having to seek out staff themselves to pay. Billing draws repeated frustration too, with mentions of a "Hospitality Excellence Contribution" service charge, double dine-in bills, and a pricey Diet Coke served in a promotional glass. One reviewer reports a fire exit blocked by an ice machine and a messy toilet area exposing staff changing rooms. Another describes being pressured by a server to leave a five-star rating on the spot. Pricing overall is frequently called steep given the quality, though satisfied visitors describe returning specifically for the coffee, dessert, and staff who "went out of their way" to make a child feel special.

    “I’ve walked past this restaurant so many times while working nearby but never had the chance to go in. Today, I visited with my 6-year-old daughter, and I’m so glad we did. We had a fantastic experience. The food was amazing, the cocktails were delicious, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to entertain my daughter and make her feel really special, which made the visit even more memorable. It was absolutely worth it, and I’ll definitely be returning whenever I get the chance. Highly recommended! ⭐️”

    “Sana S was not attentive at all (another waiter had to get our refills, remove plates, and get Sana so we could pay). At the end, she made us pull out our phones, PRESSED 5 stars herself (on my phone!), and told us to say that service was great—which it wasn’t. Food was fine though.”

    “I had a wonderful experience at Cafe Concetro. A special thank you to Ali, who provided outstanding service throughout my visit. He was incredibly respectful, attentive, and genuinely courteous, making me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived. The coffee and food were excellent, and Ali’s friendly attitude and professionalism made the experience even better. It’s rare to come across someone who takes such pride in delivering exceptional customer service. Thank you, Ali, for your kindness and hospitality. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Cafe Concetro to others”

    “I visited this place on 30th of April as someone recommended this place. When i entered, they gave me the table straight but no one came to take my order. I called the waitress and requested to take my order. After serving the food, no one came to check back. they literally forgot after serving. I tried to call the waitress 03 to 04 times but no one was even looking at the table. I have to go by Myself to ask for the cheque. Even the manager has no clue about his caffe as the caffe was not that busy but still the customers are coming to reception to ask for their flat white and food what they ordered. The worst part came at the time of bill. I ordered food and dessert but they gave me 2 bills just to charge double dine-in charges. And when asked why, their lame excuse was that it’s THEIR SYSTEM 😒 it’s not about paying double, it’s about they know their location and that’s why they are charging double because they don’t care about their customers. if I can gave 0 star. I will happy to give them. Not recommended AT ALL.”
