   We had a great meal at Carluccios south kensington. I had the festive menu, with some really light tasty duck arancini for starter. Steak was pefectly cooked and tasty with roast potatoes that were served small. The potatoes had some garlic butter that I could put on myself, and they had just the right amount of garlic - not too strong but you could taste. Rocket salad with the dish went will the steak and potatoes. Partner had ravioli with spinach and ricotta, & sage butter dressing - and said it was delicious. Atmosphere was good, we got a nice table and service was good. I like Carluccio's. Its a a great menu, which is not too over complicated. The food is always great quality and perfectly cooked. Carluccio's staff are always welcoming. Recommended.

   Food was good and reliable — relatively compact menu of old favourites, turned out well. Service was friendly enough, but patchy — several things (first attempt at water, cheese for the pasta etc) offered but never quite made it to the table. Good atmosphere and clearly buzzing towards the end of our lunch with walk-ins being turned away. Would happily return.

   We had an early lunch before a museum exhibition. I had the goat's cheese salad and my companion had the burrata. Both excellent, and the service was really friendly and attentive.

   We had a late dinner after visiting an exhibition at the V&A and it was perfect. Prompt, friendly service, delicious tasty food and wine and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Music was great too!

   We arrived 10 minutes before our booking and the restaurant was quiet, the front staff offered several options to seat which was nice. The set menu was excellent especially for London and all 3 courses were delicious, the restaurant was full once we had our desert and there was a lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was lovely and was always smiling. Overall a fab meal before we went to The Royal Albert Hall, I would go to this restaurant again.
