Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Carluccio's is your classic chain joint that plays it safe with cleanliness but doesn't quite hit the culinary highs. Brian Bingham calls their breakfast 'lovely', but be prepared for a potential case of empty wallet syndrome. Julia Carbonaro praised the lunch offerings but some folks were left feeling a bit shortchanged with portion sizes. If you end up with a bland carbonara or an overcooked chicken burger, just know you’re not alone. The service is friendly but the food can feel like it’s been on a long, sad, lukewarm journey before it gets to your table.
In a nutshell, Carluccio's serves as a decent pit stop on your day out, but don’t expect fireworks—more like flickering candlelight.
"A really lovely, tasty and well presented cooked breakfast."
"It has been amazing as always."
"Food here is a bit pricey but tasty!"
