   So pleased to find this branch remains open for business. Carluccios used to be a 'go to' restaurant in any town ir city - less easy now unfortunately.

   Delicious fresh main. Sadly cannoli were unpleasant. No crispness to the bite. Over chilled perhaps. Very disappointing.

   When we turned up just before our reservation time the restaurant said they had closed and we could not eat there.

   Carluccio's has gone downhill since 2020!! My chicken milanese was seriously dry as it was deep fried and overcooked, no rosemary breadcrumbs potatoes were grey, salad not dressed. My 2 companions' food was unremarkable. Service was lethargic ...hardly anyone in the restaurant...I wonder why! I wrote to the Manager with my concerns and have had no reply!

   It was such a disappointment to eat at Carluccios. Tuna salad: the grilled piece of tina was dry and cold, the rest felt as it was from the fridge. My daughters chicken milanesae had grilled tomatoes cold ! It never used to be like this. The quality and attention to detail has just gone down hill and not recovered .

    Service lacked attention to detail (missing items, courses not coming out at the same time etc) and there were so many items off on the menu I regretted the booking to be honest. The experience is a marked decline from when we used to go to the previous riverside location. I don’t know if I’d book again.

    Disappointed at two items that we requested from the menu, were not available. We eventually asked for risotto con fungi and the rice was over-cooked. This CARLUCCIO at Kingston on Thames. The CARLUCCIO at Walton on Thames where we went to a week before all items on the menu were available, and the answer to yours would be 5 to all the questions.

    The food wasn’t good as it usually is. Not sure why but it was a bit dry and my goats cheese was quite hard. Sorry, but unusually have no moans about the food.

    First visit for about 3 years. Based inside a shopping centre, ambience is less 'cosy' than a restaurant environment and choosing a previously favourite dish, was slightly less impressed - or was I expecting too much? Will be back to test other dishes though!

    Friendly and efficient staff. Starters and drinks came fairly quickly and didn’t have to wait too long for the main meal. Lovely ambience and pretty surroundings, overall would highly recommend.

    I asked for the children's menu for my daughter but she wasn't allowed to have this as she is 15. I explained she wouldn't eat a whole adult's meal but they insisted. The consequence was I spent more than I needed to and two thirds of her meal went in the bin. When I took this up with the manager he just shrugged. We have been going to Carluccios for years and I will now think twice about where I spend my hard earned money as food waste is unacceptable.

    The food was rather disappointing I suspect lunchtime dining gave them an opportunity to use up last night’s lasagne it was dry, baked to a crisp and not what you expect. The salad limp and unappetising

    The poor rating was due to the fact that none of the waiting staff were wearing face coverings and our server using hers as a chin rest !

    Although the food was delicious, a smile from the waiter would have been nice - instead of feeling like we were interrupting his day. I've also spent more time in McDonalds - hadn't even finished the starter before the main courses we served.

    Coffee was Luke warm and small for the price. Toasted panettone was a small portion. Service was slow. Generally over priced compared to other chains.

    It is lovely to be able to dine in Carluccio at Bentalls Kingston again! We had the pan roasted cod fillet with mussels which was delicious, a beautifully chilled glass of Italian white wine, followed by a wonderful panna cotta and cake. Service was friendly and efficient as always.

    The service was very swift, however the staff were a little too quick to clear the tables. The food was good with a fair selection of dishes to choose from. Overall a pleasant experience and I would probably visit again.

    Carluccio’s Kingston is a really good place to lunch. I had the beef ragu paparadelle which could have done with a bit more tomato for me but was still a good and filling meal. We’ll be back.

    A great lunch again at carluccios. Food was delicious, seafood linguine, baked cod, and chicken Milanese. Service good. No downsides really, other than the fact it can get too noisy in their sometimes. Today at lunch we had a squealing toddler for a while. Other than that, a very nice lunch.

    Good central spot for breakfast in Kingston. We went as a group of four (3 adults and 1 child). Everyone enjoyed their food and staff were pleasant. Visited many times and will be back again soon.
