Okay. Carluccios are not what they once were, sadly. Extremely dry chicken and tasteless chicken Milanese, and undressed salad. Arancini to start on a blob of tomato passata which tasted like it was straight out of a jar. The arancini tasted ultra processed. Pudding nice, but can’t go too wrong with something containing chocolate and ice cream. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

It was a last minute booking but we're glad we made it as the restaurant became packed shortly after we arrived. Very friendly and helpful staff especially our server who felt a top of sauce was necessary on my wife's Ragu. Despite being very busy the serving of food was fast. All the food was excellent.

Nice food, quick service and pleasant staff.the only down side was a dog sitting at the table nearby. I understand dogs in restaurants these days but don’t think they should be at the table when other guests have to sit close by. The next table to us were also upset by it.

Our party of 4 was first given a table beside the till when other tables in better locations in the room were available. We asked to be moved and it was no problem.

It was fine, but not as good as I remember Carluccio's being a few years ago. My chicken burger was a bit dry, and difficult to cut through the very crunchy coating. Noise level was high with lots of screaming small children. Service was prompt and very cheery.

We are regular visitors to Carluccio's South Kensington and it is nice to be greeted by some of the staff that know us. The meat of my Milanese Burger was a bit too cooked and a small portion considering the price. My husband's Chicken Saltimbocca was OK. We had the Giant Profiterole, which was served with Pistacchio Cream, between us and it was good. However, the menu never changes at Carluccio's in comparison to other chain restaurants. Therefore I am not surprised that they are closing down and offering 50% off mains. Our Wimbledon branch has now closed. They need to do better to compete.

We had the most wonderful staff member from Albania look after us. Excellent service and so friendly. We loved our chicken milanese, extremely delicious thank you. It sometimes gets a bit noisy with little kids in this venue but we do enjoy it.

Staff were friendly and the food was good as usual. My only complain is that there was no pizza. This is the second time this is happening in the last three times I went with my family. It was fine for the adults but the children were disappointed. I am not sure we shall choose Carluccio next time we go to the museums with the family as this seems to happen often.

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 😒
