Met couple of friends for breakfast there after so many years and I am very please with what we had. The food was delicious and the portions just right. At last somewher in this trip the bacon(pancetta)was so crisp and tasty, the way it should be, at least for me:)friends were happy with their food as well. The service was great as well. Thanks for still keeping up your quality after all these years.

It's always a pleasure, dining at Carluccio's, and this was no exception. Around 19.15 on a Friday evening, we were seated at the South Kensington restaurant quickly and given time to scan the menu, during which our drinks order was taken. One can opt to go for set menus between Monday & Friday which included certain standard dishes, priced at £21 for two courses and £24 for three (if I remember correctly) I chose Tomato Bruschetta as a starter & Pappardelle Braised Beef Ragu for a main. Both were delicious. In summary, not the cheapest italian restaurant, but I can't fault the service or the food.
