Went for a friend's birthday meal a couple of weeks ago, and the service was truly abysmal. First of all, we were given the worst table in the house (right next to the kitchen) and had to put up a fight to be allowed to sit elsewhere. Second, our drinks arrived after 1/2 hour, and were spilt all over my friend's ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm I have eaten at this particular Carluccio's on several occasions - either as a couple or as part of a large family group. On each and every occasion I have come away feeling extremely contended with the food. The food has always been impeccably presented, and taste amazing. Only on one occasion have I not been completely happy with a ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm Spent a super lunchtime for a very special occasion at Carluccio's. The service was 'spot on'.... attentive but at the same time not over bearing...if you get the drift. The food was delicious, and promptly served. The shop was an added extra to ponder over once we had finished our meal....wonderful. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm I'm amazed to see some negative reviews on Carluccios - I've visited a few branches over the years and come away wowed every time. I had a particularly good meal last night, hence today's gushing praise: The mixed antipasto starter was a big plate of quality. Fresh and tasty and beautifully presented. Our mains were equally good, the only ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm On Friday and Saturday nights (Sept 21 & 22) my wife and I booked a table each night to enjoy the delights served up by the well trained staff at Carluccios.The meals were excellent on both occasions.The young lady in charge called Eneritz was very attentive to all customers and makes sure all is well. All meals were well priced and service ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm Friday lunchtime - forget it! Nice day so we queued for an outside table and then straight away (thankfully) ordered wine. Twenty minutes after we sat down our food order was taken: couple of starters, followed by 3 salads. It took another 20 minutes for the starters to arrive (after prompting) and then another wait for the salads and the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm Warning do not attempt to eat here on a busy lunch time. The scene. A beautiful april lunch time. The square was busy with cool people. We managed to get the last table. What fun, just like being on holiday, we said, how wrong we were. After the anti pasta I finshed my glass of wine and began to wait and wait and. The waitress smiled worriedly, ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm We ate there at 5.30 on a Tuesday evening - it was about three quarters full and "lively". Our orders were taken quickly, the food came promptly and was delicious - such a change from the "Italian" chains with their tomato sauce/gloop over everything. The staff were helpful and pleasant, the restaurant bright and clean, the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm We had a meal here last Wednesday before going to a show. One meal was fine, the other two were very poor. Rocket with gorganzola and bacon and wallnuts. Actually it was almost all rocket. Gorgonzola three pieces, bacon and wallnuts, a few!!! Service poor and the two side dishes of potatoes, well! One potatoe cut into bits, £2 a dish ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm I'm surprised the comments are so negative about Carluccio's. I really like this place - well cooked food made from good ingredients and excellent value for money. It's a cafe rather than a restaurant but I've never found the staff anything other than very professional and friendly. On one occasion a wrong dish was brought and the correct dish ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2396.htm
