Went here for a group supper. It was a little tricky to find using Google maps as it is located on the second floor of a shopping mall. Having said that, I asked a couple of folks for directions when I was very close and that helped.
I had mushroom soup and pappardelli. The food was spectacular. One of the best bowls of soup I've ever had in my life. I ordered it as a starter, but it could almost have been the meal.
The pasta was equally impressive. It was perfectly cooked and properly seasoned.
It was quite busy and a little loud. It might not be a great place for someone who is hard of hearing.
The server was attentive and polite. Our food arrived in a timely manner and the whole group (about 16 of us) seemed pleased with their meals.
First visit to Carluccio's. The food was excellent, very fresh, tasty, and portion sizes we just right.
The staff were friendly and attentive. If you love Italian food, this is the place to try in Derby.
Amazing Elliot! We were served by him today and there was a bit of a mix up with our order. He was brilliant, explained and I loved his honesty! He is an excellent representative for your business. It was our first time and our food was absolutely beautiful!

Very impressed with the experience here last night.
Booked in a table for two based on reviews over on TripAdvisor. We arrived on time and were greeted promptly and friendly and seated quickly.
The waiter was cheerful and relaxed. I always think that's a good sign. All too often you see waiters who are a little too over bearing and it all seems a bit staged but this guy seemed very comfortable and his relaxed demeanor relaxed us. Well done.
We ordered a couple starters, see pictures. Very tasty and fresh.
The other thing we noticed at this point was the music and lighting. Specifically that there was no music and the place was well lit. This was a seriously refreshing change. I've been in restaurants before where you have to shout across a single table to be heard and it's dark like a night club. This restaurant was a breath of fresh air with nice, clear lighting and all you could hear was the bustle of people enjoying themselves. How every restaurant should be.
The mains were delicious. I ordered the lasagne, lovely. No grease, no oil just lovely well made food.
Absolutely top drawer. Great experience.
Best seafood risotto ever and service great. Atmosphere lacking as in a shopping centre.
Great place food is always quality and the staff are helpful and attentive without being obtrusive.
The real problem i have with this place is that the set menu doesn't change that often. I would probably eat here more frequently if it did as the food is good.
One of the best places for coffee which is reasonably priced at Β£3.20 in a restaurant, and is always excellent quality and taste.
Did not eat but menu looked simple and good value. Staff and ambience very good
Stopped in for a rather pleasant coffee. Polite and friendly service. Will call again.

My wife & I got there for lunch at around 14:30Hrs. We were received warmly, by the host Diana who was also our waitress. We asked Diana what she would recommend & she gladly took us through the Menu patiently. I settled for Risotto di Mare, & Bottega Prosecco, while my wife had Chicken Saltibocca, & Bottega Ross Prosecoco. Green beans spinach was included as well.
The food was soooooo delicious π that we felt embarrassed when the table was being cleared since nothing was left for throw. The service is exquisite π β¨οΈ 10/10. The ambience was Homely - The Food was soooo Fingerlicking - Ohhh & we also had Limoncello Tart for desert& it was WOW π π π!!!. Honestly we felt so so much appreciated dining there. The food & drinks recommendation by Diana was so so WONDERFUL ππ.
We also asked to speak to the manager & pass our appreciation, though she was busy having her lunch she did acknowledge and we left.
OVERALL : We truly were extremely HAPPY - SATISFIED AND 101% sure to return again π.
Great food that never failed to deliver, the staff were handy, and you were never waiting long. The atmosphere was very relaxed and not too noisy so you could easily forget that you're in a shopping centre.
