   My wife and I have been customers of Carluccio's for 10-15 years, we don't expect special service however.... The main food portions are smaller than ever, the house red wine is now to expensive for a not very good bottle. The service was rushed even though all the tables were not full. Our server applied Parmesan cheese onto my wife's main course (Risotto) and as he was rushing managed to add some into her glass of red wine. A small apology was given and he took the glass away and returned with a "new glass" of red wine - rather a small amount. The whole experience was underwhelming and we just didn't feel like we were welcome.

   A nice place to eat, but not very flexible towards diners in my opinion. What I mean by that is I ordered a dish and wanted something substitute which was basically some mixed leaves for some potatoes because I’ve ordered some tenders and broccoli. I was told that couldn’t be done for a price of £25 for some water and they couldn’t do that Then it’s not really a place I could recommend

   Arrived to a warm welcome, asked to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant which was hard to accommodate as the restaurant had a few big tables in. The waitress that served us took our order. She was a bit chaotic and we did have to repeat it several times. We ordered wine, it was awful and returned yet still appeared on our bill! Our food was gorgeous, ambience noisy but still enjoyed our evening with friends. We ordered drinks specifically with one cube of ice this was obviously not reiterated to bar as it came with a glassful of ice. Would I return - yes - but I would check if large groups booked in prior to attending. Beware - check your bill - if we had just paid it would have been 28.00 over because wine not removed.

   We had a lovely meal at Carluccio’s. The food was delicious and served very quickly. Our waitress was lovely and made sure we had a good evening. We really enjoy eating at Carluccio’s. Not only is the food of a high quality and excellent service but we like the layout of the restaurant. There is plenty of space and we don’t feel cramped.
