The Frito Misto tasted like cardboard. It felt as if the dish had been cooked earlier on and kept under a heated light. The squid was very dry. My husband had their signature pasta dish (penne giardiniera)which was undercooked. It was so hard that it was inedible. So was the zucchini which was used as a garnish.

Our waiter Luca is very polite and he demonstrated excellent customer service. Great location to meet friends and delicious Italian cuisine.......
Carluccio’s began life in 1991 when Antonio and Priscilla opened their food shop in Neal Street, bringing the finest quality regional Italian food to London.
They carefully wrote each label by hand and explored the length and breadth of Italy to find the best ingredients. In 1999 they opened the first Carluccio’s Caffè in Market Place – an authentic Italian restaurant in the truest sense of the word, and a continuation of their successful food shop.
