   Had my daughter’s 18th dinner there, amazing staff and gorgeous food. Dog friendly and as our puppy is very energetic they didn’t bat an eyelid!

   Horrendous family dinner - awful food in general and manager was clueless about allergen options for our coeliac child. Extremely limited menu - no steak or chicken, no lasagne, no dishes with burrata, plus other things not available. GF menu from the Carluccio website not available, they had no idea what I was talking about. Only GF option was penne pasta and sauce, or GF bruschetta - which consisted of two cold slices of seeded bread, covered with cold, hard cherry tomato halves! Even the non GF meals were awful, hard chunks of fat and gristle in the near tasteless ragu and sloppy bits of fat in the carbonara. Never seen anything like it - we’re generally pretty easily pleased but the food here food was dire 🤢🤢 Never again!

   I heard good reviews about this place so i was feeling hopeful. But, personally when me and my partner went there we didn’t enjoy it. The portion sizes were quite small, we weren’t a fan of the food and my food also wasn’t hot.

   Service brilliant bit hampered by shortage of food supplies. Restaurant had run out of many items on the menu which made it a disappointing visit. Our waitress was very helpful and cheerful.

   Nice food and service although the portion was quite small for a main, it was more like a starter, Rigatoni Piamonte

   The service was pretty good. Some food was great, some average. The restaurant was a bit cold.

   This restaurant is nicely tucked away on one of the streets off the main shopping centre which makes it nice and personal. The staff were lovely and friendly, a great diverse menu, reasonably priced. I had the seafood linguine, lots of nice fresh fish, and a lovely glass of Rose Blush. Went with a friend.....will definitely return.

    They didn’t actually have our booking from OpenTable however it wasn’t a problem as it was almost empty. The serving staff were very attentive and helpful. The food was good too
