We were recommended Augustus Harris by discerning friends. It's a small gem, ideal for lunch or pre-theatre for a light bite. Very convenient for The Royal Opera House and other theatres. Delicious Italian-accented bruschetta were especially good, as was the wine (the list looked inviting), in a pleasant, comfortable, hint-of-rustic, atmospheric environment. Kind service - from the helpful barman who could not have been more quietly attentive to our questions about the wine list between preparing cocktails with an understated but expert air for those at the small bar - as well as the waitress. Together, the atmosphere, menu and service gave a distinctive, personal, individual feeling to the place, rare now around Covent Garden. There are more tables downstairs but we didn't see them so can't comment.

Had a great time at Augustus. Great service and lovely simple menu containing the best of Italian small plates in our view. However, the wines choices are a bit limited and could be improved. The red's especially could be better given the quality of the food.

My partner loves Italian food and we decided to visit Augustus Harris as pre theatre meal. We were greeted by the manager and the rest of the staff as soon we entered the building. We were then led down a flight of stairs to a beautifully decorated room. It was dimly lit, had a romantic feel to it, fantastic ambience, I couldn't fault it. The staff were very attentive, the manager interacted with all the guests and took a genuine interest in each person. The food was very nice with a good variety of mezze style platters to choose from. From what I could make out from the menu, there was only 1-2 main meals to choose from. That being said, the food provided was very nice, will probably order more next time. Augustus Harris is a gem hidden away in the heart of Covent Garden, had an amazing time and will definitely return soon.

Really, really enjoyed our meal at Augustus Harris. We were early for our reservation but the waiter seated us quickly. service was excellent throughout. As the menu is a tapas style we asked for some recommendations and also an idea of how much to order, I think it was just right. The mozzarella recommended to us was amazing! All in all we very much enjoyed our entire experience.

Not quite what I expected, but I probably did not read the blurb on the restaurant before. It does kind of tapas so my 6 year old was not amused. We found him something to eat and overall a pleasant experience.

Went there on a Friday night for a quick bite. Good value. Nice ambience (if you like your restaurants dark and candle-lit). Great location, on the outskirts of Covent Garden, and a decently priced wine list. Worth a try.
