I visited this place many times. Recently, I had there dinner with dessert. The place is more expensive than average restaurant, but the food is good. I was in Italy many times and it's more british-italian style food, but it's okay. Service is great. Atmosphere 5+. Nice place for late dinner or brunch.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options but not too many, unfortunately.

This restaurant is consistently good. Today my daughter and I visited for lunch. After having an aperitif at GreyFriars (which has improved) we went to Carluccio's and had Arancini to start followed by confit duck. We also had a bottle of house red. All spot on.

Another very enjoyable lunch. Service as usual first class . Not to be missed Coffee and Hot Douughnuts filled with Pistachio Chocolate.

Had a great time! The servers where great, particularly the Spanish sever who helped us pick out the best food, the saltimboca was great.

I had a delightful lunch with my friend at Fenwick Carluccio's. Although we weren't very hungry, we still ordered plenty of food and a bottle of white wine. The waitress was polite and friendly, and the service was fast even during a busy lunchtime. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thank you, Roxana (I hope I'm spelling it correctly). X

Very nice atmosphere, and as busy it was, Greg was always around when we needed him. Sharing antipasti with a side was good enough for 2, highly recommended! Affogato is a must try! We will be back!

Was looking forward to some good pasta but my parpadelle with braised beef ragu was shockingly bad. The pasta was over-cooked to the point it had no flavour at all. The beef was minimal; I counted two pieces. In fact the total lack of sauce was quite a feat. The dish was so poor, I just couldn’t eat it, which isn’t like me at all. My daughter had ordered the same dish and she had the same complaint of over-cooked pasta but at least she had more sauce.. The manager removed the cost of both of our meals but despite eating at this restaurant since the opening day many years ago, the experience today has but me off returning anytime soon. How can an “authentic Italian restaurant” cook pasta so badly? My wife and son also ordered pasta dishes, and their pasta was over-cooked too. My wife’s seafood linguine lacked flavour too. Not at all like it used to taste like, and not as described on the menu. Never mind, we’ll vote with our feet and eat malware in future. Antonio Carluccio would be shocked at how bad the food has become.

Visited today for lunch. Nice environment however the food was mediocre with items on the menu sold our at 2pm in the afternoon ( again it would seem as also mentioned by another reviewer previously). When I mentioned that it was a shame that the calamari had run out I was told 'well food does run out you know, the delivery hasn't been on time and we have been busy!". I thought this was substandard customer service and not how I expect to be spoken to as a customer! I wasn't expecting an apology or wasn't complaining, merely making conversation but the waitress attitude and response was very unprofessional.
