Great Food - the resteaurant was quite full over lunch time, but noise was OK, and service very quick. The staff was also very willing to make subsitutions in food, bring extra sauces or change my freexing coke for the one with room temperature. So overall nice lunch and great experience!

Service and ambience were fine. Chicken burgers and drinks were also fine. But the pasta was poor - overcooked and too dry. The Lasagne had little "juice" and the Carbonara was a paste rather than a sauce. Antonio Carluccio must be turning in his grave :-(

Sadly Carluccio's has gone down hill. We ordered a bottle of Gavi to be told there was only a bottle of Pinot in the whole restaurant, they had run out. The staff never smiled. The food was average nothing special. The toilets were absolutely disgusting. We won't be returning again.

It was a lovely visit. The staff were extremely friendly. The drinks were good, and although a little loud, we had a good time. My main meal was chicken with a crust of rosemary. It was a little overcooked, but still delicious. I´d definitely go back!!

A very enjoyable visit with friendly, efficient staff and great food. The only thing that rather annoying were several young children running around making a lot of noice and not being stopped by their mothers. It took one of the staff to put an end to this and thankfully the children sat quietly drawing after that.

We asked to cancel the service charge and leave a tip decided by ourselves but the charge was not deducted from our bill. We paid in over the amount in cash to leave a tip but and paid in cash but were asked to pay £10 more to settle the amount on our bill.

There is just one grumble. Staff leant across me to serve the friend sat next to me. There was space to go around me. If there hadn't been the least they can do is say "excuse me". The first I knew of it was when the plates & then the coffee came past my face 😒

We were snatching something to eat prior to heading to the Albert Hall so really appreciated the speed with which we were seated and subsequently served. The food was great and the bill very reasonable

Firstly there was some confusion as to whether a dessert could be included in the regular fixed price menus with starred items. Our waiter misunderstood our question and was generally of an unfriendly demeanour. In the case of our starters and main courses the quality was distinctly average. Akin to run of the mill pub food. A bill of £120 + seemed to us high, even for the 4 of us, given this very disappointing dining experience. I suggest Carluccio’s need to reflect on quality control and value for money!

Service was good, but pizza oven not working and hasn't been for about a month. Which puts the team at the restaurant in a difficult position with customers.

Food was good. One of the diners ordered a pappardelle dish and they brought a penne dish instead. When we complained they said “I’m sorry but we run out of pappardelle!”. Staff were super busy but nice to deal with

It was very nice. The food was great but we asked for room temperature still water and we got a cold bottle. The waiter seemed a bit in a rush but in fairness the restaurant was rather busy. Other than that, we loved it.

Buona approssimazione dei piatti italiani, la carbonara non era male anche se un po sciapa. Prezzi in linea per la zona, ma venendo dall'italia assolutamente folli.
