   Whilst the food was good and in the majority we enjoyed it, some of the portions of the meal were not at all hot. If sent back we wouldn't have been able to eat at the same time. It should be right first time. Quite expensive for what you got.

   The food was good. the waiter was really friendly and helpful. It was freezing cold in the restaurant (the waiter did apologise about the temperature but not his fault) so some had to sit with coats on. Ido think pull down blinds would help that situation. There was no garlic bread, no sea bass and no calamari - to be honest the lack of garlic bread was the main annoyance as most of the meals would have been very much complimented by a side of garlic break.

   This is a great restaurant but it is inside the shopping mall, so if you like people watching before your movie starts this is your place

   Hi. I met a friend for a catchup. The food and service was really good. I recommend Carluccio's as a really good place to come and eat

    1 - Lack of items available 2 - Wrong drink brought: to be fair, I was offered replacement but I said I would finish it. Second drink had been offered and was left unopened until I asked for second drink so consequently was flat 3 - intransigence to swap rosemary potatoes for fries ! 4- One of meals was cold - asked whether I wanted a fresh one or to have it reheated. Furthermore, no offer to keep other meals warm so consequently one member of party ate after everyone else had finished 5 - Sarcastic comment when meal brought back This was first time we’d eaten here I quite a while due to unhappy experiences in past. We came to give Carluccios “one last chance” - and I’m afraid that’s what it was !

    My main and desert were absolutely delicious. Portion sizes appeared small but were actually perfect leaving room for desert without feeling too full. Everywhere was spotless and their ability to clean the tables etc. to a high standard in a quick turn around was impressive. All members of staff appeared to be friendly and helpful whilst working at a quick service speed.

    I've always loved the Giardiniera but the portion size has dramatically reduced since my last visit. Dessert was great but I left feeling still hungry which isn't normally the case at Carluccios!

    Visited on a Friday night. Two issues really 1. It was freezing. Probably the fault of Derbion not having the heating on, but really, really cold in the restaurant, and every diner kept there coats on. 2. Portions are small and the dishes uninspiring. I had the carbonara which was would have been very average if served in a cheap cafe. But, Carluccio's is anything but cheap. Saving grace are the staff, who are good.

    Surprised to see empty on a Christmas afternoon. Booked a table for 4pm. From the table offered near window we could smell drains or toilets. When I asked to be seated elsewhere because of the smell, the waitress pointed out it was the kitchen not the toilet where the smell was coming from. Offered menus to be told there was no beef ragu or seafood lasagne. As I had chosen to have this lasagne or the ragu we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. Disappointed.

    Be aware, this restaurant will accept OpenTable bookings for tables it does not have, then make you sit in the waiting area for the next group to leave, which could take 15 mins+ as it did for us. In the end we just left without being given a table at all. Seems like a total scam. A table booking means there has to be a table to book.

    Good food and service as usual, however at least 3 options off each course not available on special festive menu and normal menu. We had the ordered off the normal menu. Steak delicious but potatoes a bit scarce and the mushroom risotto portion was very small.

    Service lovely, food seems to have gone downhill. Starter was fine, nothing special. The mains were not well seasoned, I had the ‘signature dish’ which is corgette, spinach balls and giant penne. The sauce had no flavour, I had to add a pot of Parmesan and more salt than is good for you to make it edible. Not really what you expect when paying for someone else to cook for you. Won’t return, shame as it used to be a great choice

    Bright and relaxed feel - my carbonara was tasty and perfectly portioned. The service was quick - Tom was bubbly and attentive when it came to making sure my dishes didn’t trigger my nut allergy. Good value for money, too.
