Harry's Bar, James Street

La Dolca Vita comes to the heart of the West End. Harry’s Bar, inspired by its namesake, the Mayfair private members' club, is a brand new large all day dining destination set in glamorous 1950s style surroundings. A special cicchetti menu – small plates traditionally served in Venetian Bacari bars – is a highlight, and especially enjoyable on the terrace on a warm, sunny day.

Affordable classics on the menu run from linguine vongole to pollo Milanese with most mains priced below £15. The kitchen is headed up by Diego Cardoso, whose creative approach and flair have been delighting diners at original site, Harry’s Dolce Vita, since its opening last December. Diego brings with him extensive experience, most notably Angela Hartnett’s Michelin-starred Italian Murano in Mayfair.

Harry's Bar also boasts a truly inviting space, decorated with exquisite artworks, as well as a terrace for romantic outdoor drinking and dining.

Dinner for two: £50 including drinks
