I’m so glad that I made a reservation in the South Kensington restaurant for a family gathering of 5…Fabulous in every way: lovely, festive atmosphere, great quality of food that was presented and served beautifully. We had great service…a very friendly, enthusiastic and helpful waiter.

Lovely friendly staff. Really nice meal. We are so sad that the Carluccios chain has shrunk so much. We shall return to the South Kensington branch soon.

The restaurant is a nice place and location and was very busy, lots of loud children 😂 when we arrived. We were attended well upon arrival, which we arrived 30 mins early but were seated. The waiter was good and attentive also. I ordered a Tuna Salad, the potato’s were cold as if were sitting all day. Tuna was ok, but I’ve had a lot better. There was literally one anchovy in the salad. The fries were luke warm cold. So overall below par to expectations. I ordered a beer, which I noticed after drinking was past its sell by date 😮‍💨. Overall it was ok but some issues.

Exceptional food we all agreed, be it the Sea Bream, Duck Confiet (a new addition to the menu I believe-please keep it) or Veg option. The Orange sauce for the Duch was sensational and the potatoes done to perfection. Wonderfully seasoned with Rosemary. I asked them to leave out the Garlic and they did! They went the extra mile and gave me some Fennel Salami and Parma Ham from the Kitchen at retail price, to take home, which was beyond my expectations too! I recomend this restaurant. South Kensington location is ideal too- A perfect Day!

We always enjoy Carluccios but we were disappointed to find the kitchen was closing even though we had booked a 10pm time slot in advance. Perhaps on line bookings should be updated with this information.

Worn-out cafetaria atmosphere. No yoghourt. No fresh fruit. No granola. No brown toast. Fruit juice from a box. Very small sized portions. This is unacceptable for a breakfast place.

Was seated very quickly but was then presented with our side dish as a starter and left to sit there for 45 mins to 1 hour waiting for our main meals. Food was okay, didn't fully enjoy my chosen course as tasted burnt in some areas. We were then charged 12.5% of our bill as a service charge which felt this was very steep considering the 'service' we received.

We got a nice table. Initially it was hard to get staff attention. There were a few staff but all seem to looking away in their zone. Had to wave a lot Finally Melina took our order, and she was great. Proper hostess. The other staff need more training. Melina literally saved the day else it would have a bad service. She is great

Food was unremarkable. This was the first time since Carluccio’s went into receivership and were bought out of their debt. It’s not the same place although the brand name is the same. Pretty ordinary.

We visit London each year from Australia and always dine at Carluccios in South Kensington. It’s always been busy and bustling with energy. This visit was different. It was only about a quarter occupied on a Saturday night at 7pm. The waiting staff needed some additional training. They were removing plates etc whilst one of us was still eating. They bumped us placing crockery but no apology. The table was not laid properly with no salt or pepper mill. We needed to ask for them. The food tasted delicious but seemed to have been not freshly prepared. We were a little disappointed. I hope its standards are not slipping but it seems so. Maybe this is reflected in the attendance.

Fortunately we booked for 1700hrs, slightly before the rush. But hey, the food was great (beef ragu and my friend had the duck), and the service was friendly from the smiling guy that served us. Keep the prices reasonable and the quality good. We will return soon.

The food was lovely and the waitress who took our order was great. After our main courses arrived, however, we were completely forgotten about. We had to flag someone down to ask for the dessert menu, and later had actually to get up and find someone to bring us the bill. The restaurant was half empty. Why was no one taking care of us? Everyone was filling salt cellars and cleaning up. But we were paying customers who hadn't finished their meal.
