A contemporary take on Italian cuisine, executed with great skill and attention to detail. The dishes balance comfort with creative flair, while the depth of flavour is just incredible. All delivered with attentive service, great wine, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

I can't praise this restaurant enough. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional. The food was so delicious and cooked fresh. The staff were amazing, chatty, fun and charming. A wonderful experience

I eat in here often, its a lovely place and equally good for lunch and dinner. We bring clients here as well as dining here socially with family and friends. Its a lovely experience with attentive waiters- nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend.

    We loved it here, our first time! I’m fond of Italian food and I chose Harry’s to celebrate my birthday and found it a great place. The food was excellent! The service was first class and the waiters/servers were very friendly and made a welcoming experience, this made the evening that extra special! Thank you so much, I will pass this on and recommend, look forward to coming back
