• Contemporary Italian • King's Cross
Booked 16 times today
Had an incredible dinner here with a group of six, and everything was spot on from start to finish. The atmosphere is buzzing, the hospitality is top-tier, and the food and drinks completely delivered. Special shout-out to the Negroni genuinely world-class and perfectly balanced and the tartare, which was an absolute standout. A brilliant spot for groups looking for great food, exceptional drinks, and a wonderful vibe. Can't wait to return!

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

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
