Excellent service. Deserve to give service charge.

First time visiting this restaurant and we certainly weren't blown away.
We were greeted and shown to our table. All menus were on the table already. I asked for a pint of Peroni (£7) and was then informed they didn't do anything on draft (even though it's on the menu) and I had to have bottled beer instead. I ended up having a Peroni 660ml at £8. London prices in Derby, crazy.
We then ordered the food from the set menu and awaited the drinks. The waiter who took the order brought the drinks over and couldn't remember who had ordered what, and the same happened with the starters and the main courses.
My pizza didn't arrived with all the other meals, apparently it fell apart in the oven... a poor excuse as they make the bases fresh, and I saw them start to make the pizza base after realising I still didn't have my food. They forgot it. Very poor considering their were only 4 tables occupied in the restaurant. My pizza arrived over 10mins later, and some of our group had already finished. No goodwill, free drink or even an apology were offered.
Overall we were there nearly 2hrs, in an empty restaurant, very poor service, sub quality food and no atmosphere. Won't be visiting again, espeically with the prices.

Really great quality food, fast attentive service and...since we're low carb/keto eaters - more than happy to swap out the bread for extra eggs.Food arrived swiftly, coffee was great and the tables nice and clean - the whole place has an airy, friendly atmosphere. Kudos to our server, Charlie, who couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive.(Decided on Carluccio's after planning to go to the place next door : where we found 6 tables were uncleared, the only free table was sticky and the waitress was clearly talking to the staff on the till - we left before ordered and instead Carluccio's got themselves a customer...who will definitely return in future)Dietary restrictions: Keto, low carb friendly - happy to modify breakfast options to swap out carbs

Staff were good. Food was processed and overcooked, except one item that was stone cold. Cannoli are disgusting, over sweet and certainly not fresh. Atmosphere was awful as it is open to the passing public resulting in too much noise. The price was ridiculously expensive for the food received - just shy of £85 for lunch for two people, I do feel ripped off! For that money I expect near perfection.

Raw, uncooked pizza with toppings also not done - cheese didn't get time to melt ?, cold and on top uncut. The most horrible pizza I have in years.

Went for a lunch here the other day, looked a little busy, the waitress was awesome very attentive, I felt like back in Italy, the place although a bit classier felt homey and familiar. The food, was surprisingly good had arancini and calamari starters which I recommend and carbonara was good even if it had a bit too much decorative greens on top but still tasted right, will come back 100%Kid-friendliness: They have chairs for small kids too

The most overrated place in Derby.The food was mediocre at best. What it lacked in flavour it also lacked in any structural integrity - a bland mush.The guy serving us was pleasant enough but indifferently plonked the food down in front of us before scarpering away. I suspect he knew that what he served was woefully inadequate.I gave atmosphere a 1* because there was none. My partner and I, and one other table of glum looking customers, mostly ate in quiet disappointment. Definitely not worth visiting.

Pasta was really tasty but i have to say portion size was really small, it's a shame because that makes the food really overpriced for the quantity you get. Focaccia was not the best, it felt like it was a few days old. This didn't used to be like that before so clearly a downgrade in their new management style and cutting corners which is really disappointing considering it was such a great place previously.
