The restaurant was divided into two areas by a mid height decorative partition. We were sat in an area close to the kitchen and toilets with no other diners seated throughout our meal. All other diners were seated together on the other side of the partion. Disappointing.

When arrived, even though we had booked, we were told to wait at the back of the queue behind others that hadn't booked. Stood there around 8 m8nutes before being shown to a table. The waiter said that the ipad with the bookings on had been smashed so he couldn't tell if we had booked or not. Ordered drinks and had to ask twice if they were coming and the finally arrived 5 mi uses after the starter. One wrong starter and one wrong main turned up so one guest had to wait and watch us eat our main. Despite this, food was lovely.

Food was ok, but, for a Saturday evening, they were out of many of the beer options, lasagne, and other menu options, which is pretty poor. Service was excellent, but that was the only good thing. Not recommended. Very disappointing.

The food was completely tasteless. The carbonara pizza hardly had any topping on and was basically a pizza base. The carbonara pasta was the same, barely any sauce and what was there was tasteless. The garlic foccaccia tasted like plan bread. It came across like you were trying to spens as little as possible on preparing the food. The service was hit and miss… the one brownie arrived with sauce the other one without. Overall a terribly disappointing experience when all one wants to do is spend a nice evening with your family…

The food felt microwaved! I had the risotto and the rice was so overboiled and overcooked and just tasted awfu! The penne in the gardiniera were the exact opposite as not cooked and even had a crunch and completely tasteless.

The food was not great! we had the spinach and ricotta ravioli,. Pasta was slightly undercooked, the filing was not tasty at all, it was all floating in a watery liquid that i can not describe as any kind of sauce. To be honest M&S is better. Service was patchy although not busy, but they were polite. Would not recommend and would not return.

Found it quite bizarre that an Italian restaurant should run out of panchetta this morning 🤪 Grub was otherwise very nice, as usual.

Pre booked and got window seat as requested . Lots of staff - very pleasant but needed more training. The cheese and garlic foccacia was cold and oily. The beef ragu pasta was dry but we were given extra sauce when requested. The goats cheese salad was nice and fresh although the cheese was a bit mean. Very good coffee. Not as good as it used to be.

The young lady that seated us was slow at taking our order but service after that was great. Our food was delicious and the tiramisu was amazing. I would definitely recommend Carluccios Bluewater.

Food was really lovely and service was excellent but I was very disappointed in the selection of deserts on offer for nut allergy sufferers. The restaurant did not have allergy information on some of the dishes so I ended up with ice cream, really not the thing for a cold November lunch

I come to the restaurant quite often, once or twice a month. It’s my favourite restaurant in Bluewater, but the service yesterday was not up to par. We had to wait to be offered a drink menu & drinks. Although the waitress kindly moved us to a more comfortable table, the white wine spritzer drink I ordered was not satisfactory. I had to go up to the bar & request more soda & ice. I then when requested the bill I was told you no longer accept Blue Light.

Our drink order arrived after our starters. One main meal arrived while we were eating our starters. We waited a long time for our main meals. My tuna salad was not as nice as it is usually. My seat on arrival was dirty, the floor area was also dirty.
