Harry’s Dolce Vita, Kensington
I'm always on the hunt for beautiful London Restaurants and Harry's Dolce Vita in Knightsbridge is up there with one of my favourites. A beautiful Italian restaurant which sits a stone's throw away from the popular department store, Harrods.
Inspired by 1950's and 1960's Italian Glamour, Harry's can offer you a taste of Italy on the streets of Knightsbridge. Whether you want a romantic evening with a loved one, lunch on the patio with your closest friends or pre-drinks cocktail at the bar, Harry has got you covered.
On average, you would be looking at a bill of £60pp for a three course meal and an alcoholic drink, which for the quality, I think is extremely reasonable for London. The atmosphere is electric with the narrow space in the centre of the restaurant giving an infectious buzz on a busy Saturday night whilst service was quick and efficient with staff members being polite and welcoming.

An Evening with Harry
The restaurant itself is fairly narrow with individuals filling every table with seating spilling out onto the busy streets of Knightsbridge. Conversations of happy guests echo’s throughout the restaurant from the moment you arrive and the atmosphere is electric, giving a fun Saturday night buzz.
As a group of four, we decided to order a selection of starters to the table, allowing us to graze whilst we waited for our mains.
The Truffle Arancini - Fried Rice Balls with Truffle & Parmesan
Garlic & Rosemary Flat Bread - with Harry's Olive Oil
Provolone Fritti - Crispy fried provolone cheese, picante pomodoro sauce, datterini tomatoes, rocket and Parmesan
Zucchini Fritti - Crispy courgette with herbed yoghurt
For my main, I went for the Bistecca Di Manzo, a chargrilled dry aged 8oz sirloin steak served with rocket salad; datterini tomatoes and black garlic-balsamic dip. No matter where I go, I will always try to find a good steak & Harry’s certainly met the bar. It cut like butter and was cooked beautifully. A solid 10/10.
Now for the show stopper, Harry's Toadstool. A beautiful dessert crafted with white chocolate, fresh raspberries, mascarpone mousse, iced vanilla parfait and pistachio biscotti crunch served with a warm pistachio sauce.
I went for the traditional Tiramisu. I refuse to go to an authentic Italian restaurant and not order my favourite dessert (however, I may be swayed to order Harry's Toadstool if I am lucky enough to visit Harry's a second time).
Until next time, Harry.
