The service was great, really friendly people and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I really can't wait to go back, wish I hadn't waited so long to visit.

“A Standout Italian Experience at Carluccio’s – Derbion, Derby

Once again, on Saturday 10th May 2025, I had a truly outstanding meal at Carluccio’s in the Derbion centre, Derby. I want to give heartfelt thanks to the exceptional Manager Heather, our brilliant waiters Charlie and Tom, and the talented kitchen team for creating another memorable dining experience.

From the moment I arrived, Heather greeted us with her usual warmth, professionalism, and infectious positive energy. She manages the restaurant with such ease and attention that you immediately feel at home. Her thoughtful approach and clear care for both staff and customers set the tone for a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Charlie and Tom were fantastic throughout the evening — friendly, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were excellent, and their attentive yet easygoing service style made us feel welcomed and looked after from beginning to end.

As always, the food was a highlight. Every course was fresh, flavoursome, and beautifully presented — from the light, delicious starters to the perfectly cooked pasta and indulgent desserts. You can truly taste the authenticity of the Italian flavours, and the consistency of the kitchen team is worth applauding.

I have dined in many Carluccio’s branches across the UK, but I can confidently say that the Derby Derbion location is the best of them all. It’s not just about the food — it’s the rare combination of exceptional service, genuine hospitality, and a team that clearly loves what they do.

A huge thank you to Heather, Charlie and Tom, and the chefs for another unforgettable visit.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality Italian meal with impeccable service. Thank you, Heather, Charlie, Tom and the Chefs, for a wonderful evening!”

“Very smart looking from the front, stylish contemporary Christmas decorations inside with a comfortable atmosphere.
