Augustus Harris restaurant

Tiny atmospheric restaurant suitable for bruschetta, Italian wine etc before a theatre visit. Thoroughly enjoyable, lovely staff. We enjoyed little plates of bruschetta with ham and cheeses. Delicious an ivy and butter soldiers!

food was delicious out of this world. wine was great too. Two downsides for me the music was so loud you could not hear each other speak, and the lighting was turned down so low that I had to get my phone torch to read the menu !

Walked past this restaurant many times visiting London and always wanted to go there. Not disappointed, fabulous tapas style Italian food, dishes that you can order as you fancy. Perfect pre-theatre restaurant!

Nice setting and ambiance, and attentive staff. Menu (particularly desert) a little limited though - particularly vegetarian options. Would go there again for wine and light snacks.

Great food, service and ambience. Brilliant find close to Covent Garden. Amazing food and recommendations from staff and great value for money. Would highly recommend.

A brilliant place to go to and enjoy terrific wine, great service and lovely food, it's well located and not too expensive I have enjoyed going back there several times.

Excellent ambiance - very pleasant, friendly staff. It is the second time I have been there for an after work drink and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Keep up the good work!

slightly limited menu however the food was excellent and service very good and was right outside the theatre, would go again so cant say more than that

A great place for a pre-theatre meal, great selection of food and amazing selection of wine, cocktails and apperitifs. A must if you are in London.

Food was nice and it has a good casual atmosphere, however service was slow and we didn't particularly feel looked after. Everything needed to be requested more than once and it was frustrating to see the staff just stood chatting and we had to sit and wait. This is next to several theatres, so speed should be paramount for restaurants with this location.

Lovely restaurant, really welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious. Another nice touch is that still and sparkling water is free. Definitely recommend.

Friendly , wonderfully non chain experience based on something like Italian tapas with good ingredients and a nice wine list to complement the food . Will return.

Lovely little gem tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden. Delightful menu of light bites, quality produce. Friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended. A return visit is a must.

Cosy venue with warm personal service. The wine is amazing and the snacks are top notch. A great independent place in an area full of chain restaurants.

Wonderful crostini, cocktails, wine and tiramisu. My friend and I arrived early but were able to sit and enjoy drinks and food before going over the road to the Theatre Royal. Lovely ambience, service and delicious food and drink.

Friendly, food was lovely. Perfect for a leisurely aperitivo before an evening out or possibly for an extended drink. Venue is small but for me this just added to the cosy feel and charm.

Great place to meet up with friends ! The interior was very smart and had a cosy feel. We had a fantastic waitress who was informative and very helpful and we loved the salamis, cheeses and bruschettas we ordered. We had 2 bottles of lovely Gavi wine which was very reasonable. Great location close to Covent Garden but relaxed and not too frantic. We will definitely be returning soon.

Very friendly, cosy atmosphere with good food but limited menu. Very convenient for Drury Lane theatre which is directly opposite the restaurant. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Ideal location having just seen the fabulous show 42nd Street. Having booked a table we were greeted warmly and taken to a table downstairs (our request). This was our first visit , however the staff were very helpful in describing the menu. Our Salmon dish was excellent followed by a very Italian style Tiramisu all washed down with a reasonably priced Pinot Grigio. All in all a very enjoyable experience at an affordable cost. Thanks Mike W

Very cosy and quaint Italian Restaurant with a nice selection of Italian styled tapas. Everything was very fresh and reasonably priced. Location is also very good and convenient for a theatre night or just walking around.

Really friendly atmosphere and quaint. Italian tapas style food was lovely. Good service. Definitely go again. Ideal for theatreland. Good selection of drinks and menu.

Superb food, and atmosphere. 2nd visit and it was as good as we remembered. A little cramped but nothing more than many other restaurants in London. Would recommend as we have done many times in the past.

Great food - really good for nibbles/tasting plates. The wines are good and the service is excellent. You always get a warm welcome here, and the atmosphere is very relaxing.

Fabulous food and service! The atmosphere in the bar is buzzy and vibrant and the downstairs where we ate was quieter and cosy which was lovely as we could actually have a conversation without yelling at each other! We had to wait in the bar for 5 minutes as the table wasn’t quite ready - not a problem at all for us but we were presented with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to compensate! What a lovely touch! The food was excellent and the cheese board, fantastic. We had a wonderful bottle of Primitivo. I’ve worked in London for years so why haven’t I discovered this little gem before?! Can’t wait to return!

Great place lovely food amazing staff and perfect atmosphere will definitely be back. Small unique restaurant very different and food was perfect all little tapas sizes which we all shared very tasty.

Beautiful place, warm atmosphere and super nice staff. The food was very nice and tasty, especially the toasts. Really, the staff was very helpful, we loved the goat cheese tostini and the toasts were really great!

Nice and cozy place with great food and service. It is different from the standard italian restaurants. Highly recommended.

4 of us went here after a Carol Service and one had arrived from Canada that morning and so wasn't up for a proper dinner. This fitted the bill perfectly ... wonderful cicchetti and excellent service. our first time but sertainly not our last

Excellent cold meats,cheese, crostini served in pleasant atmosphere by good staff with good wine at a reasonable price. Will go back. Best seats upstairs but downstairs is warm and cosy.

We would recommend Augustus Harris. The service was friendly, attentive and quick. They have a good cocktail, wine and food menu, and all the food we had was delicious.

Italian tapas at its best. Friendly helpful staff. Great atmosphere. For London prices - very reasonable. Only the ice cream let it down. Must change supplier - tasteless!!

Augustus Harris is in the perfect spot for a quick bite after a show being just opposite the Theatre Royal. We had just enough time to pop in and enjoy a cheese board for supper. Cheese, wine and staff all excellent

Great little wine bar with delicious Italian tapas. The stuffed dates were incredible. Ideal for pre drinks and a light bite before going to see 42nd street directly opposite

An absolutely wonderful gastronomic experience, fantastic service, excellent wines. The sole was perfect, and the oysters perfect. My wife's birthday wasn't forgotten,a chocolate embossed plate wishing her a Happy Birthday was well received. A must for sea food lovers . Will return .

Fabulous! Chosen for its location opposite Theatre Royal but will be back! Excellent service and interesting food. Lots of delicious flavours and a very different experience.

The room we ate in was in the basement with no windows. The food was tapas style, mostly on bread - some delicious, some ok. Quite expensive for what we got, but service was excellent and the waiting staff very cheerful and friendly.

Amazing food, amazing staff and the best ambience in Covent Garden. Highly recommend to anybody, for quite drinks at the bar to large group dinners.

Excellent food, service the lot. I've been here a few times and the owner, Tony, is just lovely. He kept popping down to say hello and even handmade my friend (birthday) a flower from tissue paper. They're also keen on their wines and we tried the new Montepulciano which was fabulous.

As always a delightful place to sit with friends and have a drink and a bite to eat. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. Love going back each time and cheers me up!

Owner Tony is great as was Angus the bartender. We have been here before and it continues to be such a nice place to have either drinks or a light picky dinner
