    Busy restaurant but quality of food was still good. Been a while since I went to Carluccios and portion sizes have shrunk, whilst prices have increased. Ambience was family friendly but we were in for an early supper. Service was a bit hit & miss - great taking the order and food arrived promptly. The bill however took ages to come. Overall a good experience.

    Your food is so mass-produced, bland and cheap. I very much doubt whether you make any of it on site. Long gone are the days of Carluccios being artisinal and now it is more like a McDonalds, but overpriced. I may get better value from a Wetherspoons, which includes a drink. My burger was bland flavourless, overcooked and the bun was cold, possibly straight from the fridge. Your set menus are designed in such a way that you have to spend extra to add to its measly offerings. Perhaps the worst part is the fact that you turned off your heating to save money, It was like dining in a shed in the Arctic.

    The service was fine at first, then near at the end of the meal it seemed to disappear when the change of staff happened. Nobody came to ask if you want a desert or lemon cello or even the bill

    I felt the portion of the main meal - risotto- was small and quite bland.

    Busy restaurant with tightly packed tables so quite noisey but fine for a quick lunch. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food was generally good.

    If you want a quick bite in a central location for a fair price, this place is perfect. Do not expect a fine dining experience - while service was fast, the food was very average. Kids pasta was really bad...pretty much plain spaghetti with a splash of plain tomato sauce, barely covering the pasta. Garlic bread was soft and soggy, nobody wanted to eat it. The rest of dishes were ok but nothing to go crazy about. If you love Italian food, you will be disappointed.

    It is one of the nicest Carluccio's restaurants - large with windows done the whole of one side. The food was really delicious (Penne Giardiniera exceptional) and the Sauvignon Blanc was lovely. We had a very nice relaxed meal for two.
