   Thank for all. We had a very small gap to eat before our event, but we have been served and looked after perfectly. Food was nice and service was smooth and fast.

   The food was really comforting Italian and just added to a long overdue getting together with friends. The waiters' service was seamless and friendly. All in all a very enjoyable evening for catching up.

   Good meal but my colleague who is dairy and gluten free found it a little difficult to find food she liked. Settled on the fish which was very good. My arancini were delicious

   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.

   Lovely staff, great service, went out of their way to make tomato sauce when they ran out of ketchup

    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.
