Carluccio's - Menu

Location is nice, a few minutes walk from Liberpool str. st. staff is kind and quick, but the quality of food was quite poor. I had a chicken milanese deeply fried although it was almost raw inside. olives were soft, not fragrant. A glass of a jammy (too soft) merlot, completed my experience.

My daughter's favourite eating place, and when you're in the mood for pasta, Italian good cheer, nice wine and a place that lets you be, with friendly, attentive and courteous service then Carluccio's is keeping the great man's name in the way he would want to be remembered. A lovely evening and the catering for Vegans, Veggies and Meat eaters taken care of with everyone happy and well-fed. Thank you…

A Selling point of this branch in Spiatlfields is the non central location still attracts locals and the business district but less so tourists and hence less chance of unbooked tables This place should have scored close to top marks where it not for the price per portion is exorbitant repeatedly returned cold food ancora e ancora no ambience of italian cooking in the dishes A themed restaurant serving unturned food...safari!

This had always been a good branch of the chain but our last couple of visits had disappointed and I think we’ve visited for the last time. Friendly staff can’t offset poor food and whilst the lasagna is always a reliable choice the pork sausage pasta was bland, with lukewarm stuck together pasta. The passion fruit meringue dessert was inedible and whilst it was taken off the bill our memento of the evening is a receipt that says “cream off” next to the refunded dessert.

Wasn't very impressed with this restaurant. It lacked atmosphere was very noisy and the service was very slow (apart from when we asked for the bill and that came immediately! The food wasn't that great I have had a lot better (and for less cost . The starter lacked flavour. The main was warm and needed an accompaniment i.e. sauce or jus or something like that. The portion sizes varied from plate to plate even though they were the same dish Won't be going back any time soon

3 of us went for tea. We waited at the bar to be shown to a table, and very eventually one of the staff realised we were there. Thre was only one table occupied, so we wee shown to the one next to them. Mm. So ... We sat somewhere else. Eventually a waitress came to take our order. We also said we wanted a cake, so told to choose. Very difficult to choose when there is no one to take your order. I had fresh mint tea. I have never had one with only 1 scraggy bit of mint. A quite appaling experience and we definitely will not be returning. Quite disgraceful.

We 've used this lovely looking restaurant many times and I recently posted a good review. Not this time. For the second time at a Carluccio 's we were presented with a bottle of wine already opened away from the table a practice that 's totally wrong, for obvious reasons. On arrival we 'd shown our server our 'second main course for £1 ' voucher, saving us £14.50. When our bill arrived there was no sign of this. I wonder why? Our server then told us that Carluccio 's now impose a 12.5% service charge. We 'd normally leave this anyway if we had good service, but tips should be at the customer 's discretion, not the restaurant 's. We paid in cash, then waited ten minutes for our £5.50 change....

There's a nice light and fresh feel about the interior of this branch of Carluccio's and it was certainly a warm and welcoming place to come for lunch after a morning's sightseeing on a bitterly cold November day. Our server managed our big table really well, despite having to squeeze round other tables to get to us in the corner. The food is above average Italian cuisine, served in big portions. I started with a large bowl of mushroom soup and had beef ragu linguine for my main. Both were tasty and well prepared and I know it's silly, but the lovely crockery they serve the dishes in just seems to add a little extra pizzazz to the eating experience. Prices are very reasonable. My two courses...

Having had a very poor experience a few months ago with a breakfast meeting, I thought I owed it one more chance. A mistake. We should have taken note that there were very few people in the restaurant (this place used to be really busy, even early morning). So breakfast with a colleague this morning in the restaurant was simply dreadful. It began with a waitress who seemed unable to understand the request for two 4 minute, soft boiled eggs. Granted that they were not on the menu but poached eggs were. The waitress said she would check and returned to say that they could only do seven minutes? At that point we gave up on the boiled eggs and my colleague chose the same as me. Poached eggs with...
