About Harry's Covent Garden

Harry's Covent Garden is an Italian restaurant in London, on the corner of Covent Garden piazza at 11-12 Russell St. The dining room carries Venetian-inspired interiors, and the restaurant is open daily. The menu includes a mozzarella and plum tomato starter served with Italian house olive oil to drizzle, sea bream as a main course, and lasagna. A chocolate fondant-style dessert comes with ice cream and pistachio crunch. Red wine and Aperol spritz are among the drinks on offer. The Amalfi Room is the private dining space, set up for groups and used for celebrations such as bridal showers. This is the Covent Garden branch of Harry's, which also has a Knightsbridge location.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the room itself, describing a stunning interior and a gorgeous venue that one calls classy and vivid, and one group used the Amalfi Room for a bridal shower. Food comes close behind. Diners single out the mozzarella with sweet plum tomatoes, the sea bream, and a chocolate dessert with a molten center and pistachio crunch, while others simply call the food delicious. Individual waiters earn warm mentions for good recommendations and patience. Service is not uniform, though. One reviewer found some staff polite and others abrupt during an extremely busy visit, and another found it polite but more functional than welcoming and a bit rushed. The lasagna was described as thin and lacking the creamy béchamel expected, and a red wine and an Aperol spritz were fine but not memorable. One reviewer suggests making a reservation, and another wishes dinner dishes came with a card noting vegetarian or vegan content. One diner recalls staff handling a small spill quickly and discreetly.

    “Having previously dined at the Knightsbridge location, I chose to indulge in the atmosphere of the Covent Garden branch this time, where my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The staff all well dressed exuded professionalism and warmth, creating an inviting ambiance complemented by delightful background music. My main waiter, Yash, stood out with his impeccable service, always courteous and radiating a friendly smile. For starters, I highly recommend the mozzarella paired with sweet plum tomatoes and you must drizzle the house virgin oil from Italy, a delightful prelude to the meal. The sea bream as the main course was a culinary succulent masterpiece, while the dessert a melting chocolate fondue sauce creation accompanied by ice cream with drizzled of pistachio crunch was an absolute treat, offering a delightful surprise at its center that elevated the entire dining experience.”

    “This place has a stunning interior and also the food was delicious and definitely lived up to expectations. The service was a bit inconsistent .. some staff members were very polite while others came across as quite abrupt. It was extremely busy, which may have contributed to that. I’d strongly recommend making a reservation, as it’s clearly a very popular spot.”

    “I had an amazing time at Harry’s Covent Garden. We had booked the Amalfi Room for an evening for my sister’s surprise bridal shower, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience! The customer service provided by Harry’s was superb and I couldn’t have pulled this night off without their assistance. Big shout out to Sofia, my event manager, who was prompt to cater to all of my needs - particularly to specific dietary requirements. She was also kind enough to allow us to bring decorations on the day and really helped to organise the event swiftly. On the day of the event we were very warmly welcomed by our server for the night Ahmed (the Egyptian Pharaoh 😉) who was very kind and quick to respond to any of our needs. He was extremely hands-on and supported with every aspect of the event, from taking pictures, to making sure the food was served on time to helping with the lighting. Thank you Ahmed for being so attentive! Thank you also to the other servers and waiters who kept the night running smoothly. The atmosphere of the room was amazing and I think it’s a great place for any special celebration. Highly recommend!! 🌟”
