What more could you want 
Quite simply one of the very best restaurants in London.
The food is fresh, and fun, with a tapas style served in small plates ideal for sharing between two. The staff are friendly and the the food tasty and imaginative.
this is probably my girlfriends and my favorite restaurant ever since our first visit with quite the best banana ice cream in the world. The menu is always surprising and always a joy.
Go there now!

Review of Carluccios

Somewhat dissapointing 
I went on a Sunday, which, in hindsight, was a mistake. The place was really packed, but not in a buzzy kind of way, more just stressful for all concerned.
Now don't get me wrong, as a child i loved going to restaurants, and i think a place like carluccio's should have children involved, but the number of prams was making it difficult for everyone to move around, perhaps a few fewer tables would make life easier. On that note, there were so many tables that the waitress knocked over out water bottle when she went to bend over the table next to us. It felt there was no room to breathe.
The menu was on the dull side. I had soem dried pasta cooked to death in a bland tomato eggy sauce, very forgettable, and my companion had a lasagne. It would have been better if we'd made both our dishes at home.
