    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.

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There was hair in the food and also a fly in the red wine. At first, when I mentioned it, they ignored me. The second time, when I told them again, they just said ‘sorry

    This used to be one of our favourite places for brunch. Sadly standards have dropped quite a lot. The food was acceptable but nothing out of the ordinary. Cleanliness was poor. Several items of cutlery were dirty at our place settings. Teapots and milk jugs had dried stains on the outside of them. Initial service was good but once we had our savoury course no one returned to offer us anything else - we would have liked more coffees and pastries. Doubt we will return again.

    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
