Really exceptional service, food quality as you'd expect, a reliable classic in South Ken
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 :-(
Great gluten free option! Very delicious. Both our meals very very good and service was excellent.
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!!
We have a Xmas dinner every year there and the food is fantastic. Atmosphere is very welcoming, the guys are superb.
Estoy de paso en londres y la experiencia fue muy buena
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.
You know you’ll get a delicious meal with great service.
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
Great service and delicious food and a great atmosphere .
Cozy restaurant and great food but the food was not very hot.
The food was delicious, great waiting staff and warm atmosphere in the restaurant.
Always a great place - lovely food and ambience too

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!
A perfect place with good food and a great service.
Really tasty food at a sensible price. Enjoyed ourselves. Great.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and tasty food. Can definitely recommend
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.
Pleasant and efficient service. Helpful recommendations. Would go again thanks
Friendly staff and the tables were spaced out very well.
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
Overcooked, bland pasta. Overworked but lovely staff. Would not repeat
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.
Booked table for 1730.....ages for order to be taken..food arrived after chasing senior waiter at 1830. We were under pressure to get to RAH concert
Service was friendly and efficient. There was a good atmosphere in the restaurant, quite full but not too noisy
Good food at a good price and enough choice. Good service
Lovely food, great selection of drinks and friendly staff. Will definitely be back
Great food good service good value ill be there again soon
We always have lunch here after visiting the V&A. Excellent food and service.
The service was great and we were well taken care of. Food were amazing too
Great place to have food. Friendly staff and really delicious food
So pleased to find a great Carluccios open with excellent waiter
Nice food and service but the noise level really spoilt things. Less music and more soft furnishings would really help conversation at a reasonable level.
Serving staff were very pleasant. Delighted that the first class tiramisu is still as amazing as ever!
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.
Very pleasant waitress. We just had one hour and then needed to dash. No problem as food and drinks arrived speedily. Thank you.
It wasn’t busy but no one asked if I needed anything (while I waited for my son) for 15 minutes.the food was good ( not exceptional though) and it was all quite expensive.
Five of us went to the History Museum and booked Carluccio's for lunch. The service was friendly and expedient and the food was excellent. Can't fault it.
My wife is gluten and dairy intolerant. Totally helpful in making sure she had a great meal that met her needs. Good service. Lovely Carluccio food as usual.
Always a pleasure eating at Carluccio's. This was no exception. Perfect service, lovely freshly made food.
Delicious food and friendly staff. I would recommend this place
Enjoyed our visit. Set meal price was ok. The main course portions were a bit smaller than expected but all good other than that.
We had a very enjoyable lunch. Good food and good service.
Lovely food. Fresh sea bass and fish. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere
Nice servers and helpful good that’s all for now thank you
Great food, service and ambience. My go to restaurant when in South Kensington!
