So cute place we eat two course and everthing is delicious especially bruschetta was amazing it was very fresh its smell is still in my nose 👌🏻👌🏻
Consistent and always a good place for some casual food and wine. Service is about par and the place has a nice bright and airy vibe.
Recommended for tourists on the move and looking for something nice but not expensive.
Peter Morrell meets the man who buys the wine for all the branches of this highly successful family of Italian eateries. As a Carluccio’s regular I’m a great fan of the food at their restaurants. The ingredients are all authentically Italian and the simplicity of the dishes allow the natural flavours of the food to shine.
On now and running until 1 October, Italian restaurant group Carluccio’s is sharing its passion for top quality but perhaps less celebrated Italian wines with its Wine Explorers special. The limited run offers customers the chance to try a bottle of an underappreciated but nonetheless extra delicious wine for only £10.

••• I would definitely recommend this place if your hungry and craving some Italian dishes.

Carluccio's is a nice casual spot for a chilled dinner or lunch. Great service but the food is fairly standard, nothing amazing but also nothing to complain about. A really dependable option in an area with vastly varying quality.
I am a fan of Carluccio's. Unfortunately I managed to visit it only once towards the end of my time in London.Â
I had the Milanese di Pollo (Breaded Chicken). It was extremely good and I'd strongly recommend that.

Carluccio's - a must visit!! This place can easily become a regular visit.
We had actually visited the carluccios in Bishops Stortford but couldn't find that on zomato!! Zomato needs to cover bishops Stortford!!
Carluccio's is impressive from the moment in arrive. The restaurant is huge but still cozy and comfortable. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There's so much on offer apart from the food and drinks - a range of fresh breads and desserts, jams and even cookbooks - all looked brilliant.
The restaurant is well designed, even the bathrooms are funky but very well spaced out.
The menu has a lot to offer. We decided to order for the main course directly. We order the potato gnocchi, served in a gorgonzola and spinach sauce. The other dish was Penne Giardiniera, giant penne pasta shells, served with courgette, chilli and spinach fried balls, Flavoured with lots of cheese and garlic. Both the dishes were great and would define go back here to eat them again. The penne pasta shells were much larger than what we ate normally used to eating. The courgette and spinach balls were slightly crispy which gave an added crunchiness to the dish. The potato gnocchi was soft and blended perfectly with the blue cheese sauce. The dishes were very filling and therefore we had no space for dessert.
However we did visit the carluccios at terminal 5 (Heathrow airport) - the service was pathetic, staff were very inattentive and arrogant. Took ten minutes to get the attention of the staff even though they were looking at us.
Enormous amount of food, for a good price.
One course is enough for two meals for me, and we even ordered a started, meaning a lot of leftovers.
The food was delicious, even though we waited quite a while for it to both (both the main course and the starters).
My favorite was the starter: the focaccia was amazing and I was so starving I ate the olives, which I previously hated. Carluccio's made me like olives, as well as peppers. (I'm craving that board of food right now)
The service was okay but not memorable, and the place was quite loud at the time.
I would definitely go back, but order less food.
Update: I went back and divided a carbonara dish. It was more than enough for two people, and we had a hard time finishing it!
I eat here regularly because the service is always good. The food is always delicious. The shop is fantastic too.
Great food, great coffee!. The title says it all. It is very difficult to fault Carluccio's. The food is simple, but excellent and the coffee is as smooth as silk.
One of the things I really love about the Covent Garden Carluccio’s is the building. It’s much bigger than most branches and on two floors. There’s a wonderful staircase leading up to two large dining areas on the first floor, with high ceilings, huge windows, lovely frescoes on walls and a space that fills me with romantic ideas of what a glorious apartment one could make there, right in the heart of Covent Garden.
Brent Morris and I shared the Deluxe Antipasti to share for lunch. It was more than enough food for the two of us and delicious! We really enjoyed our lunch although the service wasn't as attentive as it could be. And do yourself a favour, end your meal with the Italian hot chocolate - not too sweet and deliciously chocolatey.
Lasagna Tradizionale
The beefy meaty saucy melting lasagna just made my night. Yummm is the word! Still nostalgic of that date with this flavorsome lasagna. The layers of egg pasta, tomato, beef & lamb in béchamel sauce was simply delicious & brilliant. We love lasagna just like Garfield does!
Service: Comparatively Slower.
Ambience: Family like restaurant setup.
Price: ÂŁ10
If you find yourself hungry in Covent Garden and you're gluten free then Carluccio's is a good destination.
I picked up a mandarin chocolate cake for take away which was moist and extremely tasty.
Carluccio's also have a gluten free menu (which i have yet to try) however it gives you a number of options.

I am not a stranger to Carluccio's, having visited it's Kings Cross outlet a couple of times before a journey. I came to the one in Covent Garden for a staff lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the starkly different interior of this particular Carluccio's, bright and spacious in comparison to the Kings Cross branch. Our table was booked on the upper floor of the restaurant up a charming stone spiral staircase. The upper floor has huge ceilings and white walls giving the room an airy appeal. We were seated at a very large table at the back in front of a ceiling high shelf of Carluccio's produce.
My party decided to order a large platter of antipasti to start, which included bruschetta, chicken liver pate, salami, stuffed peppers and bacon wrapped prawns. I was extremely impressed finding all elements delicious, particularly the pate, which was smooth and rich. For mains everyone chose a pasta dish. I picked the spinach and ricotta ravioli which arrived on a cute rectangular plate. My ravioli seemed to lack much flavour and I had to ask for extra parmesan but everyone else seemed to love their dishes. Perhaps in future I will try one of the meat dishes instead.
I've always heard great reviews about this place and to be honest I can't doubt them either. I've only had the chance of going for tea and cake, which was incredible itself. The chocolate cake was a lovely compliment to the tea and went down a treat. The hospitality of the waiters is also admirable as they make sure you are well catered for. I'd love to come here again for lunch some time.
Been here a few times with my partner. A great little location and a convenient place to stop off at amidst all the shopping.
Food is tasty and they usually have daily specials that I try once in a while. I enjoy their pasta dishes, but their steak dish is also tasty. Always enjoy a few glasses of the fresh lemonade with my meal. Has quite a zing to it.
If you have enough space after your meal, a coffee and a glance at the desert menu is recommended. Tiramisu always goes down well.
Reasonably priced Italian restaurant. Good wine options.
The restaurant also does set menus, which are also value for money. Although a chain but the place and the food is very authentic.
Service is reasonably good.
All things considered a nice place to have a quiet dinner. Although many comparable options.
Really nice and friendly staff, beautiful restaurant. But, they need to work together (Staff) and get the job done as a team. Really nice coffee, really food and quality products. I will highly suggest for Marketing and Advertising purposes that the they need to urgently change the holders of the takeaway cups. #WellDone Great Branding.
Nice italian food. Worth the price. We are in a hurry so didn't order dessert but i guess it will be very nice too. If tomato can be added to the salad, it will be better. The mushroom is well flavored and went well with the toast.
The rissotto and pasta are nicely done, also suiable forr vegetarian. The restaurant also has many vegetarian options.
The place inside was very lovely. Great service. I loved my starter but the chicken milanese had too much rosemary. The chicken was covered by rosemary and unfortunately I had to remove all the top/botton crispy part and ate the inside only.
We were going to a show nearby, and were lucky enough to get a table without having a reservation on a Saturday night (we were shown to their deli-area where we waited for around 25 minutes and then got a table).
We only had about 40 minutes from being seated until having to leave but that was no problem for the kind and efficient staff: we were served great food very quickly and our waiter was very attentive.
We would love to come back next time we're in London and when we have more time! Thank you for a great - and fast - experience!
I've been to many Carluccio's in London, they have all been pleasant and enjoyable - from having a relaxing coffee and cake from the counter to a nice glass of wine and tasty Italian meal.
Pop in and try for yourselves!
Always looking forward for the panna cotta, the staff really considerable, i think they need more staff,
Food and cleanliness is average
Price london price 2 meal for ÂŁ45
I got the best service and the pasta is perfect! Thank you!!! Will always be happy to come back! I forgot to take the name of my server but she’s the lady with braided hair. Thank you!
The favourite Carluccio’s in London. Always great service with amazing food. Perfect for Christmas parties or reunions as they provide a wonderful Christmas menu with crackers and hats so highly recommend!
amazing food! full vegan menu (photo below is vegan!) and super fast service, lovely waiters and it was so clean in such an iconic location; highly recommend :)
Simple menu with delicious options. Feels like proper authentic Italian food at reasonable prices
Always good quality food here with the menu containing the usual standard dishes with special plus some seasonal changes for variety. Staff are friendly and professional, always ask about allergies and are ready to make helpful suggestions with the wine list. Some very good cocktails, esp the amaretto sour. Service is normally very prompt. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous.
Visited here last Saturday night. Very busy and we hadn't booked but they were able to seat us within 10 minutes. The food was very reasonably priced, tasted delicious and the staff were amazing - very polite and our server was very knowledgeable on the menu, she was lovely too which added to the experience. I only haven't given a 5 star not due to the restaurant itself but the ladies facilities which you had to tiptoe through, I'll say no more but the manager was apologetic for and aware of.
Food and service though brilliant.
Totally amazing. Restaurant was lovely, modern and clean with a brilliant atmosphere, our server Ondrej was a delight, funny and knew the menu really well. Took my girlfriend there for her birthday and they delighted us with a candle for her in her desert and a little happy birthday as well. Honestly couldn't ask for more. Thrilled.

This place has a lovely interior and nice authentic Italian food. The deli attached also has some good looking cakes. It's only downfall is they gave out of date menus to some people on my table. It has options which aren't available on the newer menus however they will still serve them. It's slightly unfair that not everyone gets the same choice of food. Other than that, I enjoyed myself.
