   Our young waiter was very attentive, however another member of staff who served us could do with some customer care training! Food wasn't brilliant.

   Really poor show! Dreadful service, rushed, no eye contact, barely cursory. Chicken burger meat was pink Arancini balls so garlicky that inedible. Shoved in the back as we were a party of 7, dark ambience and forgotten about One meal came significantly after the other 6, poor show Will not be returning.

   If you are a coeliac, Carluccio's is brilliant. The seafood gf pasta is very good. Service was rather slow at 7 pm but was having a lovely catch-up with my daughter, so neither of us minded that.

   We are fairly regular here but we’re disappointed this time. Quite expensive now. Bruschettas were dry, bread too thin and tomatoes lacking taste. The chicken Milanese again dry and lacking much flavour. Pasta giardino meant to be signature dish again lacking definite flavour. Generally edible lunch but missing good flavours we expect from Carluccio Also no burrata. Surely an Italian restaurant should not run out ,

    Used to go to Carluccios in Bath many years ago, was looking for somewhere to have dinner and my partner had never been so thought we’d try the Cribbs branch. Not sure whether it was this restaurant specifically or if Carluccios itself has gone downhill since my last visits, but my carbonara was appalling. Burnt meat, bland oily sauce… I left and genuinely felt sick all evening from the grease. My partner said his pizza was “ok” but equivalent to a frozen supermarket pizza, which didn’t suit the restaurant price tag. Yes, okay, the food came very quickly, but I think this was at the cost of quality.
