   We had lunch on Sunday. Despite the place was busy, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We all enjoyed the meal. We will definitely go there again.

   Great customer service, great food and atmosphere . Jessica looked after us and she was great. Jessica keep doing what you are doing . I’m sure the place wouldn’t be the same place without you.

   Unfortunately didn’t live up to expectation. We are a frequent visitor of this restaurant but last night was our worst visit. Took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day, but slow service put a dampener on the evening. Had a 40 minute wait between Starter and Main, understood maybe a slight delay due to the busy atmosphere but was asked by the waitress if I was ready for dessert and I hadn’t even had my main yet. The table next to us had ordered the same dishes and received before us despite arriving after us.

   Everything excellent except for the Penne Arrabbiata, which did not use penne pasta and it did not have enough spicy arrabbiata sauce. Get that right and everything would have been perfect. Great night and highly recommended.

   Always been a fan of Carluccio's and maybe have used it too much. The menu seems to have reduced and the choice is now limited. There are daily specials shown on the menu on the website but either not available or the waitress hadn't been made aware of them. Lovely place to go if new to the venue or just to pop in for a snack.

   Met friends for a birthday catch up. We were shown to our table promptly. But then we didn’t get service for over 15 minutes. Waitress did apologise. My burger was lovely but unfortunately my fries were not very hot. Otherwise a lovely evening

   I've eaten at Carluccio many times and this wasn’t the best. It was ok but the risotto was a bit tasteless. The best thing was the icecream!! The garlic focaccia was ok but nothing special. However the staff were very helpful and friendly and responded very well to our requests

    Myself and 2 friends regularly lunch at Carluccios. The food is always good. But today after coming in the new year we noticed the wine by the glass had very much increased in price. There was an offer on of 50 %off mains which made the cost a bit more affordable. I’d just warn customers - maybe drink elsewhere !
