Lovely food and good service. Thanks for being so helpful. 7/10

Nice meal, pretty quick service. Starter was probably best. 8/10

Waited ages for reserved table, when I eventually got my pasta it was cold and what I can only call a child’s portion. Not good value for a lot of money. Listening to chefs shouting at each other doesn’t lend itself to a nice ambience. Saying not enough staff, not good enough you knew the marathon was in town and you would have lots of bookings. Disappointed

Good food, fast and friendly service. Will come again. Thank you

Always reliable. Good food. Fast service and helpful staff. 8/10. Thanks again

The one waitress was excellent, but had to look after the entire restaurant on her own when 2 or 3 would have been more appropriate

Lovely, tasty food. Very quick service. Friendly atmosphere and good service. Will come again. Thanks.

Great food and service as always. It was a bit busy but the service was good.

Lovely food and good customer service. I’d recommend coming here at lunchtime as the service is quick and it’s not too busy.

Good food and service, if a little slow today. Enjoyed the coffee and dessert.

Good food though the service was a bit slow on this occasion, but - to be fair - they were quite busy.

Lovely Italian food. Always friendly and quick service. Great experience.

Good food, nice ambience and service. Really convenient location in Manchester.

Lovely food, nice ambience and very good service. Thank you.

Very slow service and staff not particularly attentive. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re in a hurry!

Delicious food though rather busy on this occasion and perhaps a little short staffed. Nonetheless good service and happy overall.

Delicious Italian fare. Always highly reliable and nice, friendly staff. Thank you again.

Delicious food as always. Good service and helpful staff. Thanks for a lovely meal!

Delicious food as always. Really nice friendly staff and a relaxing time. Very convenient and good service all round.

This is such a convenient spot, near Piccadilly station. While the menu isn’t enormous the food is yummy.

There is good service and a friendly atmosphere. Convenient location

Nice food and friendly staff. I’d come again but prefer the other branches for their atmosphere and range of dishes.

After receiving drinks for a late lunch we both ordered chicken dishes only to be told ‘sorry no chicken left’. I then ordered a disappointing lasagne which on further inspection contained little or no meat. My wife just opted for a focaccia which arrived as a bland slab of bread and served cold which neither of us had seen before. We’re big Italian restaurant fans but this is easily the worst Italian meal we’ve ever had. This review is no reflection on the serving staff who were lovely but appear to be caught up in a dysfunctional operation.

Very busy restaurant with only a couple of waiters who were very good.The food however was OK wasn't very hot so had obviously been made and kept to keep warm.We didn't bother complaining as we needed to get to a concert.Certainly won't be rushing back 😒

Appaling. Not enough staff in kitchen or dining room to serve a full restaurant. Most customers eating early to get to Coop Arena on time. Lots of stressed customers as staff avoided eye contact. We arrived 4.30. At 6pm we were about to give up and grab a sandwich from M&S when food arrived. All 4 of us disappointed with food quality. I asked why they didn't turn people away when it was too busy. Told that most, like us, had bookings. In which case why didn't they make sure they had enough staff. This will be my last visit to any Carluccio restaurant. Antonio C would be horrified. PS you can keep the 50p offered in return for writi g a review. Perhaps donate it to the restaurant staff. They all worked really hard but impossible task and I doubt they got many tips.

the confit duck was nice - handy eatery but can be busy as its in a train station. expect to pay a bit more than the normal. however, its handy, good location and convenient
