Carluccio's - South Kensington

The food was fine but the service was really bad. I was dining with my 92 year mother and we were left waiting for 20 mins with no food menus or drinks order taken. I had to cross the restaurant to ask for service . The waiter was hurried and brusque. Not a good experience.

We have visited many times but last night was extremely busy with fewer staff. We waited ages for our starter. The noise level was awful then they put on music so conversation was almost impossible ( they did turn it down when asked) Food was good though

Service was poor, staff were rude, food was terrible. Won't be going back!

Food was really good. Great environment. Only thing is that service is a bit slow (50mins waiting to get the main plates)

Very relaxed. Lovely food.Totally unrushed. Could not be more happy!

Lovely food Excellent service My second visit in a week !

Very good lunchtime service with excellent starters and mains. The Gavi Di Gavi was delicious.

Great food and price - lovely service and location thank you

Great service and food served in a timely fashion; will visit again

The staff was brilliant and the food was very good.

Great service and our waiter was so lovely. Food was amazing.

We had a great time, The atmosphere was very nice and the food and drinks were very good

wonderful, friendly place for a family dinner. we'll be back for sure

Carluccios is always great. We took my daughter who has allergies (soya and dairy) but allergens are not shown on the menu. The manager did come to see us with the allergy list but we didn’t find her particularly helpful and found it difficult to find a suitable meal for our daughter. She ended up just ordering a starter. It would be helpful if the allergen list was available on the website so we could have decided in advance as to whether the restaurant was suitable.

The atmosphere was very nice and the food and drinks were very good , you were up to our expectations, thank 😀 you

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and it was the icing on a very enjoyable day in South Kensington

Very small portions and prices have gone up quite a bit

The restaurant was very busy, not surprisingly as school half term & near museums, so service took longer than desired. When food came, the order was initially wrong.

The atmosphere was excellent and we did enjoy our time there

Average food in lovely and light atmosphere. Was better years ago.

Very friendly staff, very good food for us and the small children.

We have been coming to Carluccios since the beginning. We are pleased the magnificent is back! Very good service today 👍

Miserable waitress. Utterly charmless. Phoned it in totally throughout the meal. Two of three dishes were served poorly. One was cold and the other had very little meat sauce. Desserts were very tiny portions which for £7 a pop was terrible value for money. However, the manager did comp one dish when we complained which at least recognised the poor food and service. Atmosphere was reasonable though and quite festive although it distinctly felt like none of the staff wanted to be there.

Reliable, friendly and good staff but getting expensive for what it is.

It was fine. Good food. Service slow. Nice location near tube

Very good food and service. Good atmosphere and very clean

Everything went very well and the staff was very friendly

Good food, good service. Nothing more to say goodbye goodbye.

Used to come to Carluccio’s lots when our kids were babes and toddlers. So good to come back for grown up family meals where there is something for everyone. Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food.

Have always liked Carluccios. We had a very good waiter

Incredibly disappointed as after we ordered, we were informed the restaurant was out of seabass, brocollini and pizza - half of our table couldnt have their first choice.

Staff were great and really looked after our every request

Great local Italian. Food often overcooked but fresh and well priced.

Staff brilliant, food excellent, service fantastic despite it being a packed restaurant. Will always recommend this place.

Very efficient and friendly service and the food was delicious and perfectly timed.

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.

excellent. Great service, well cooked breakfast, good value. High recomended

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.

Amazing food and service Good portions will come again soon

Our waiter, Fabrizio, is as great as the food we ate!

I absolutely loved eating here, and the food was brilliant.

Service and food excellent as always. Bathrooms are disgusting, and have been for some time. Could they be regularly cleaned/checked? And freshened up too please

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!

Excellent restaurant and very attentive employees. Lovely meal and would return

Tasty dinner, medium portion sizes, little bit on the pricey side.

Fast and efficient service. Good location and choice of food.

Last time 2 years ago we had a ver poor meal with indifferent service. Last evening wa quite different with decent food- the sea food risotto was excellent- and the service quick and responsive

Supper before the Prom. A very dependable place to go.

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.
