Couldn’t decide where to eat in Dunfermline so plumped for Carlucci’s. Haven’t been for ages. Food was amazing, service also and the restaurant is lovely. I had caprese salad, lasagne and profiteroles. My partner had bruschetta and polo picante. I would say this is the best meal we have had in Dunfermline for as long as we can remember. Well done to the Management and staff for our great dining experience.

It is very easy to be biased when a restaurant is only ten minutes walk from your home, however, there must be 20+ that would fall into this category, so why is Carlucci's special.Let's start with the service! We are regular visitors but we observe the same consistent and friendly service being received by everyone so there are no "favourites" they are genuinely pleased to see everyone! If you have the pleasure of meeting "Carla" you are in for a treat.The food, this is simple, honest and flavourful, with a great choice of food for everyone (a separate vegetarian and vegan menu is available as well as catering for other dietary requirements).Atmosphere: there is always a buzz in Carlucci's, even if you are the last table in, the staff and background ambience keep the place alive.The toilets are accessible and well maintained (a big deal for me) and the restaurant is always clean and tidy.Did I mention it is only ten minutes walk?If you are in Dunfermline this is a relatively inexpensive meal of excellent quality.My only critique is a fairly restricted wine menu, this is based on consumer demand, I'd like something more upmarket sometimes!Vegetarian options: Full vegan and vegetarian menu is available.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant as you'd expect from an authentic Italian restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Slight step up into the restaurant but accessible toilet available.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available, menu is well laid out.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch here yesterday. The restaurant was fairly quiet as we came in at end of lunch period. We were attended by two lovely waitresses Alisha and Rebecca, both of them very friendly and attentive. We both had the minestrone soup which was very tasty. My friend had the Arrabiatta, which she said was lovely. I had the gluten free Margarita, which I greatly enjoyed. Would be great to have had half pizza and half pasta dish (just a wee suggestion, an Edinburgh favourite offer this) However must mention that it’s great to have a restaurant who makes big effort for us Coeliacs, which is not always the case, so big thank you to owners and Chef for that! This was enhanced by the fact there was two very nice gf desserts on offer instead of the usual sorbet or plain ice cream. I enjoyed the moreish fudge cake and my friend was amazed at the very generous plate of gorgeous profiteroles, We also enjoyed a lovely Italian wine. All in all a great lunch here.

24 of us went here for my retiral night out on Saturday 29th and to say it was fabulous is an understatement. The food was perfect, the service was perfect, nothing was any trouble to the staff, who smiled all night. I would highly recommend Carlucci's. Well done guys.

Delightful experience, delicious food, great service. Well worth a revisit. Love the last touch of branded chocolate and sweet with the bill...delicious too. Thank you. Sorry I forgot to take photos.
Visited last weekend and had the pre dinner menu - excellent value for money and lovely fresh food! Would definitely return.

Food was good as usual. Fairly quick service. The only thing that let me down is it didn’t have air con and it was far too hot in there.

I went on Saturday before a show at the theatre with my 9 year old son and my mum. The restraunt has a lovely atmosphere as soon as you enter. The girls were so friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing and the pre theatre menu is such a reasonable price and there is plenty of choice. We all enjoyed our experience here and will definetly be back if we are up that neck of the woods again. Would thoroughly recommend.

Food was very average. My cacciatore hadn’t been cooked long enough and wasn’t that hot. Pretty unremarkable. The staff were friendly and service prompt enough but they were a bit grubby if I’m honest. Would say very average.
