Carluccio's - Southampton

We visited Carluccio’s for a pre theatre meal. The meal was very good.I chose off the Valentine menu and my husband chose off the set menu. We settled the bill and left to go to the theatre. It was only after checking the receipt whilst waiting for the show to start did I realise that we had been over charged by £11.25. Items were listed individually, then an amount deducted for two, two course menus when it clearly shows we each had three courses and the three course prices should have been deducted in both cases. Not sure how I go about getting this money back. We went for the set menus as it appeared to be cheaper, but not as it is now.

Plenty of choice on the menu. Delicious lunch and great service from Federico.

Great atmosphere, lovely food. Great gin and tonics. Quick service.

Another fabulous visit to Carluccio’s in Southampton. The staff are always so welcoming and accommodate my daughter’s large power chair without question. The food was delicious and the service was so friendly.

Lunch at 1.30pm booked on the Saturday. Service was prompt but a little rushed. Ordering drinks he didn't wait to see if we wanted anything to go with the drinks, having to order again when he came back. The plates he served for the starter were wet from the dishwasher, he wiped with his hand!! The menu has changed and not been updated for awhile. Limited vegetarian options. The ravioli pasta lacked flavour and wasn't very hot when served, the fries were again lacking seasoning. The desserts were small portioned for the £8.95 price. Having been to Carluccio's for several years I will be thinking again.

Always an enjoyable experience and good food. Sam very attentive

Food was great and Sam the Waite was super kind and funny

Excellent food and service. Waiter was brilliant and really engaging. Have used many times and it’s always very good.

Fantastic food, great service, always top of our to-go-to list.

Excellent service and food today Will definitely go again. Thanks.

Pleasant staff and food speedy service but not hurried Enjoyable

Friendly service Good and attentive experience Efficient staff Nice environment

Staff very attentive and helpful . Lovely ambience in the restaurant. Only complaint was the poor portion size of the scrambled egg on toast.

Staff were helpful in moving us to a table away from the draughty area. Pizza was delicious.

It’s a good Carluccio’s as the food was hot and the waiter was very helpful and pleasant .

As always worth the visit, pretty good atmosphere, food very nice indeed and great service - we will be back.

Service was slow and not very attentive, and the restaurant was cold. close to wearing a coat!

Excellent service from Antonio and his team. They were all really friendly and efficient. Food was marvellous and very tasty.

Great service and a really good lunch. The salsa verde with the sea bass was delicious.

The food was delicious and staff friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere. Happy New Year

Food was unreal and nicely put alongside a brilliant Birra Moretti as always

The main course was l good, but disappointed with dessert which was a chocolate bread and butter pudding. It was hard and dry and difficult to cut with a spoon, disappointing.

Both the food & service were great - staff were very engaging

Always good food here. Enjoyed the meal. Good value for money.

Crew excellent food right up there as usual Thank you

Served by Yasmin. Lovely service felt welcomed and seen. Got checked up on when food was here and throughout meal. Food was amazing. Will definitely come back

Really good service and food in good surroundings would recommend

A perfect meal in a lovely restaurant with great service

Had a lovely Festive Menu 3 course meal. Really impressed with quality of food and for me was good value compared to other chains due to far superior quality. Service charming, efficient and polite again far better than other chains for example Cote. Will definitely be back!

Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend the mushroom soup. A perfect place to relax after a busy shopping morning.

The food was absolutely fabulous, we had a quiet table and a really great dining experience

Great food, superb service, even though the restaurant was full

Service was excellent. Some of the pasta (penne) was chalky and hard rather than aldente - only some of the pasta, most of it was just about cooked, but some was clearly not cooked

Throughly enjoyable. Staff courteous and friendly despite a very busy restaurant.

Lovely waiter. Good food, despite having run out of 2 things I wanted to order.

Our meal was swimming in oil and butter there was no white wine sauce as advertised with the meal , it was liquid butter and ruined the meal

Always great food and good service this close to Christmas

The service was slow, waited 32 mins for our food. Asked for a rose to which we were told they’ve sold out. A couple near us waited even longer for their food. I had the prawn and crab risotto which was a very small portion with no flavour. Today’s visit was a start contrast to our visit 2 weeks previous which is why I suggested we return again. Sadly, I won’t be returning anytime soon based on today’s experience- it wasn’t even busy so no excuse

Sam the waiter was excellent, we shall definitely return again

Great atmosphere, professional service, excellent food very welcoming staff, highly recommend

Waited 40 minutes, one meal was lukewarm, waiting staff were excellent

We had a fabulous meal, Well worth the money. Service was excellent. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

All good but v quiet so not that much atmosphere.

Great food and very attentive service. Nice shop too! Will repeat.

Very slow service and had to wait an hour for our mains even though we had hungry toddlers with us. Pasta dish was stodgy and tasteless. Not a nice experience.

Food was lovely Staff were very pleasant even though very busy Nice experience

Delicious food which came quite quickly. Great, cheerful waiter. A lovely experience overall.

Great food, nice ambience with friendly service - good value

Freindly staff and good food on the menu. Booking was easy

Always a treat for lunch, lovely food and service, thank you
