Carluccio's - Reading

We went for our company Christmas lunch. The food was wonderful - really tasty. The cocktails were great as well. The wine was lovely, though too expensive for what it was - they didn't have the mid priced bottle of white so we had to upgrade which was too expensive really. We had a fabulous time. Really lovely waiting person - just the right level of attentiveness.

Delicious Christmas menu meal and good service, we all enjoyed it.

All good except some of the food was a bit too salty

Quite busy on a Saturday afternoon but service was good and the food arrived quickly and was very nice.

Great food and great service. Atmosphere was excellent and good value

Lovely staff but very noisy mainly due to two very big groups.

Good pasta and very pleasant staff. We Will go again

Lovely restaurant with a good ambience. Food good and service.

Not much atmosphere as we had an early dinner so restaurant quiet however the surroundings are good. Service a little slow considering it was so quiet. Food good though salad was very dry without a dressing on the chicken milanese but chicken was lovely

I asked for a table in the middle of the restaurant, so was surprised to see my 2 friends sitting against the wall, on the uncomfortable green bench seating, which was no good for the friend who has a bad back, so she had to sit on the chair, which is not that comfortable either... The food was very good, as was the service, but the noise level was so high we often couldn't hear ourselves speak! I should have been told that there were large groups coming and we might have chosen to go elsewhere...

Loved our visit to Carluccios as always . . .

Fabulous service but really awful food :( And expensive too

Pleasant lunch. Limited beer available. Service attentive. With a good atmosphere.

Great food, drinks, friendly service and easy parking. What else does one need😁

Quite noisy. However at least it was popular and busy.

The waitron was surly to the point of rudeness. The food was expensive and very disappointing.

Lovely ambience. Good food. Could do with a vegan gf pudding on the menu. Sorbet is the only option.

Unable to book later than 16:45 - apparently it was fully booked- rushed to arrive to an empty restaurant! But it was nice

The lovely people that work there make this my 'go-to' for entertaining clients in Reading. I always know I'm going to be welcomed back like an old friend.

Really lovely experience and great food - the brunch and breakfast menu is always delicious.

Food was good, staff very friendly. Only small thing were the pistachio donuts, very tough and boiling hot, had to sit and wait to allow them to be less of an inferno!

Lovely place for small groups and larger gatherings. Great service and food

Excellent restaurant , all was perfect : food and service

Good service, delicious food, and a lovely spot looking out over greenery and trees.

Helpful staff. Visited for breakfast with friends. Some of the meals were good but vegetarian option with avocado was not good quality.

Great intimate dining with gracious lady guest excellent atmosphere/ food

Carluccio Burger and Chicken Saltimbocca were good and tasty. Service was excellent.

A lovely experience, great service, helpful, timely, welcoming,. Food was excellent, calzone dessert a revelation. Good atmosphere albeit with few diners at time of visit.

The waiter was brilliant!! And the food was lovely! Pleasantly surprised

Love Carlucco's, the food is delicious and all the staff are wonderful and friendly

i had a great time with my frnds, food was hot and tasty.

Pizza and garlic bread was amazing 🤩 staff were very friendly & made sure we were ok 👌

There was a children's party going on with small boys running around the restaurant, popping balloons, screaming and generally creating a noisy, stressful atmosphere. I had expected a pleasant, relaxed restaurant experience, not a playground.

Excellent food. Though only one option for Vegan which hopefully would get better in future but the Vegan breakfast was very delicious. Definitely recommend. Good place , with nice open seating. Friendly staff.

We had a very enjoyable lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was attentive, efficient and discreet. Thank you.

We had the set Xmas lunch. 3 courses. Very nice food.

Very friendly staff and enjoyable food from the Christmas menu

Really lovely waitress, very attentive Quick service - attention to detail. She managed to find us a quiet corner in the room( very difficult) as there is always huge noise levels

I went there with my very best friend..I felt the food was mediocre,I had Milanese chicken and it was very overcooked.The dessert was alright,and the staff were good. It would not be my first choice for a lunch.

Very good food & friendly staff. It was very enjoyable.

Warm welcome on a gloomy day. We were given a round booth seat so we were able to chat. Very nice vegetarian and kid's menu for my son (that was the primary reason I booked the restaurant to have lunch with my vegetarian friends). Good service and value for money.

Really nice food. Good service. Will be going back for sure.

Great food and cheery service 😀 Great place to meet old friends!

Lovely afternoon thank you! Charming waitress, attentive and informative- I had a fish stew - absolutely delicious Compliments to to the chef The antipasti was really lovely as well

Issues with the wrong food being brought out, but was resolved with a discount

Great service and delicious food! We will be returning soon

Food was good. Could have done with more tomato sauce in the Ragu. Service was good.
