I am big fan of Carluccio, eat regularly in the Colchester branch. So visiting family in Chichester and thought we would go to Carluccio in Chichester. OMG, what a mistake, the food was terrible, how can the menus be the same but the quality of food and service be totally polar.Mussels were inedible, the risotto was not cooked fully, the burger was overcooked and tinged, steak was edible, but dry and definitely not same quality as Colchester.I am not surprised it was fairly quiet in there given the quality of the food.Would never go back here and there are plenty of other good quality restaurants in Chichester!

Terrible place to go if you have an intolerance! Being vegan and dairy free, I could only "safely" be offered a salad! I understand, but was still disappointed. Food, portion sizes and selection were also disappointing. Service was really good though!Dietary restrictions: Barely any choice at all for dairy intolerance

Food is ok, service is ok. Not worth the price.

Absolutely appalling, there was so many things wrong with the food to go into. Would not definitively recommend or go again. Sent a chicken dish back as it was that over cooked you couldn?t get your knife through, and then the second one was just as bad, so just left the food and gave up. The only bit of Saving grace was the waitress was very good and gave us a discount. No atmosphere very cold and just lack lustre.

Food is average, service is slow even when there are not many customers: they just don't look at you, and don't see you trying to attract their attention. Convenient location though and nice seating.

Service was nice so was the environment but when I found plastic packaging in my meal. Their response was less than satisfactory. They took the meal away a removed the bruschetta from the bill, but I still don?t get lunch.

Absolutely awful experience on all counts. Terrible service. Food took an age and then wasn't as ordered. Service team didn't communicate, sat at bar on phone avoiding eye contact.

A group (7) of us booked for brunch, had to preorder since the restaurant wanted to be sure to have ingredients for breakfast. We arrived to an empty and soulless restaurant, school students wandering in to use the toilets and only two staff so no control Wohnwagen coming and going. Orders taken but we were told that there were no sausages , even after we ordered. A restaurant with gumption would have gone across the road to the Coop to buy a pack, but not here. Breakfast came in cribs and drabs and every plate and food was cold. Cold poached eggs, cold bacon, cold toast. It takes some doing to be so incompetent to not produce a cooked breakfast. We each had 20%taken from our bills, but that wasn?t the point. The food, the ambience and the service were appallingly bad. We used to come here regularly but stopped when staff changes happened and it lost its way. We?ve tried again, but now would never return.

I love carluccios. Unfortunately people were turned away as only one chef in residence. Had a simple salad and it was a bit sparse so I asked for more just like Oliver!!

Great tea and sharing board as a little treat and very reasonable. Friendly service.

Very disappointing experience all round. I had previously gone into the restaurant a week ago to book one of the 'pod' tables for today as we had a disabled person with us. When I arrived today the table was occupied by somebody else and the rude waitress told me they did not take bookings for specific table ( even though she had made a note on the top of the computer booking system ). She had a really bad ' don't care / take it or leave it' attitude and relocated us to another table in the corner. Sat there for 40 minutes and was at no time approached to see if any drinks were required whilst we waited for one of our party who had been delayed.. Was then told that any food would have been 30 - 45 minutes even though there could not have been more than 20 people in the whole restaurant. We then decided that enough was enough and left to go to the Giggling Squid opposite - no apology or manners shown by any of these amateur staff - they simply do not care. Would never - ever go back !!
