   Really enjoyed my lunch of sirloin steal with fries followed by ice cream and double expresso. Had excellent and friendly service by Kas. Pleased to see that quality of food and service is back up to speed what I remember years' back. Will keep coming back

   Carluccios had an offer of 50% off main courses, so used this offer today. For the last few years, felt the food and service had deteriorated somewhat. However, I found the food tasty and the coffee good quality - friendly and excellent service. So much improved. Will definitely come back.

   Staff pleasant but not knowledgeable. No pancetta …. So loads of dishes needed substitutes … chicken ?? …. G&T dreadful …. Beefeater the only gin without flavours … horrible tonic .. … empty no atmosphere ….. If the great man was alive he would turn in his grave !

   What a brilliant night we had at Carluccio's - Manchester Piccadilly. The food was brilliant especially the Rissotto di Mare ........amazing. Robert who was our waiter,for the evening, he was unbelievable. We had a great conversation with him to start and then was so funny throughout the night. Would definitely go again, this is our 2nd visit to Carluccio restaurant, the first being in Chester. Manchester was just as amazing. Well done everyone.

   The service was absolutely brilliant. Lovely friendly waiter who did everything to help. The Arrabiata pasta was dry, over spiced and small helping. Looked warmed up in microwave with not enough moisture.Wine excellent.

   Chicken was burnt and salad didn’t arrive. No waiter checked on me so I couldn’t ask for the salad before I finished my meal. I was offered the salad once I’d paid but it was too late then. There was a real lack of care and poor service - I don’t know whether the staff were too busy or whether it’s a training issue.

    Dreadful food. Had the chicken Samb and unwashed Luke warm, overcooked and the sauce was glupy and bathed in oil. The potatoes were overcooked and hard. Unpleasant to eat.
