I loved the food, the service was great, the dishes were just delicious, I'll recommend it.
Thanks to Natalia for a great service. I’ve been here several times recently and will return again 😊 🍲 🍹
A wonderful little restaurant that I would recommend to anyone, the piccante I ordered was simply delicious and took no time at all! The brownie with pistachio ice cream was perfect and I couldn't be happier with the experience I had.
Thank you Andrea, Mike and Natalia for a fantastic stay and for being so friendly.
Will definitely be back again!
Lovely staff and wonderful food.
We were a party of 9 (5 adults and 4 children) without a booking and staff were accommodative. Also staff were very attentive with a dairy allergy.
As a former supervisor at this fantastic restaurant, I couldn't be prouder to write a glowing review about the delightful experience I had working there. The delectable Italian cuisine served here is truly a culinary delight that will leave your taste buds singing with joy!
The waitstaff is incredibly attentive, always ready with a smile and eager to provide recommendations based on your preferences. The kitchen team works tirelessly to prepare each dish to perfection, making sure that every plate leaving the kitchen is a masterpiece. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with such a talented and devoted group.
The delicious food, combined with the warm and friendly staff, creates a truly remarkable ambiance that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a delightful meal, this restaurant is the place to be. Bravo to the entire team for their outstanding work!
Buon appetito! 🍝🍷
Lovely place to spend a while, be it breakfast, morning coffee, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea! It's a great place to go !
Comfortable seating, trained, enthusiastic staff, and a great menu.
Some lovely take home Italian goodies too!
I always enjoy the experience here!
I've never just popped in for a coffee...but definitely will again. Lovely friendly staff, excellent service, beautiful presentation and yummy cake.
Very clean and presentable seating areas.
Would highly recommend.
Superb breakfast! I never normally have scrambled eggs out as they’re never normally as good at home, these were silky and gorgeous. Top quality herby sausages, crispy pancetta and delicious mixed mushrooms. One of the best breakfasts served in Colchester and in my top all time breakfast list. Also when you add a hot drink and juice for £11.50 it’s good value for money. I actually had an extra sausage and smashed avocado and was stuffed. Yum will definitely go back!!
Totally a remarkable place, five stars from me!
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the restaurant was very clean and very well laid out, giving each table privacy, the food was very well served, my partner and I had a lunch time special, at a very fair price,
A lovely relaxed lunch in very pleasant surroundings. Food was excellent freshly prepared good sized portions. Choice of 2 or 3 course set menu or a La carte. We'll definitely be back when shopping in Colchester City Centre.
Amazing food. Had the lunch set menu which has some lovely options for an indulgent 3 course meal out. Affordable at under £20 a head (3 courses and drinks). Would recommend and go again.
Great place to get a coffee or tea. The service was very fast and friendly also. I now have a voucher for money off my next visit, which is even better!
Our waiter was super friendly! I think his name is Dan. He was very smiley and attentative. I hope his good work is acknowledged!
Usually I wouldn't review a place on a first visit, however Carluccio's was absolutely brilliant! A fantastic cosy atmosphere high quality food with fresh ingredients at very reasonable prices, the staff were accommodating to all the people dining in, and I have to say, I had a brilliant time! :)
Great service, attentive staff and wonderful food at reasonable prices. What more could you want?
Can't wait to go back, friendly staff fantastic food. Ten out of ten.😄 The latte was amazing x
We love coming here for breakfast. Great staff, always friendly and the food is always excellent.
Pleasantly surprised! There are a number of places to eat in Colchester so making a choice of where to go for lunch isn't easy. We decided to try Carluccio's as we hadn't been there in such a long time and as it's in Fenwicks, a little mooch around afterwards wouldn't hurt.
Ambiance is nice, modern and clean with a range of places to sit depending on your party - we sat right next to the big windows which overlook a small part of the town.
Our server was great - attentive, genuinely nice and efficient.
Overall, the menu is great. There's variety which is key, so choosing isn't always the easiest. My party decided to go for a variety of smaller plates with sides and salads. The picture below is of the focaccia with burrata and n'duja - stunning! Also, being a little fancy, we tried a few of their mocktails - a perfect lunchtime aperitif.
Definitely will pop back as the breakfast menu and selection of sweet treats looked 👌🏻
