"Best tasting pizzas in the south side. Could do with some extra meat toppings though so best to request extra when ordering, but even without great value for money, amazing tasty pizzas and I’ve tried a fair few on the menu and the finally great Customer service by the staff"

"Me and my partner woke up in need of some good food to fuel us through the day. We love to try new places and we saw that la gioconda was only a 10 minute drive from us. We fancied a good traditional Italian meal. Let me start by saying they surpassed every expectation we had before we even knew it. Ergina the host and server was with us every step of the way serving not only great customer service, but the best vibes, and big smiles. Now the food. UNREAL. Being vegetarian they had plenty of options and I went for the veggie pizza which had my mouth watering from the flavour explosion and perfect dough. My partner went for the classic carbonara, when being served the dish the chef let us know it would be the best carbonara we have ever tasted. Let me just say…..HE DID NOT LIE!!! From the authentic ingredients and immaculate decor and environment we left with full belly’s and smiles on both our faces. Thank you to the chef, to amazing Erzina and to this gem of a restaurant in Hornsey, you guys have made our week! They say it’s the best pizza in town and that is only the start of the truth. Will definitely be returning and recommending, thank you thank you thank you"

"My first time ever in this restaurant, the staff were very friend and paid attention to all our needs. We had food off the set menu and weren’t expecting big portions, the size of the portions was amazing and the food was of exceptional quality. We had a bottle of wine which was average price you pay when dining out, the bill was not overly expensive. It will not be my last visit would highly recommend to family and friends."

"We pre-cooked a table and arrived a little early. However we were welcomed with a smile and were able to enjoy a drink until 12 noon when the main menu kicked in. The foccacia was light and tasty, and our dishes of lamb and calamari were wonderful, with good portion size and excellent presentation. The restaurant was very busy, but staff ensured we were served as promptly as possible. We were only too happy to enjoy the ambience and the lady who served us had a wonderful friendly, yet professional manner. This is our favourite restaurant when visiting this area. We also feel it is good value for money due to the quality of the food. We have no hesitation in recommending Carluccio's in Richmond."

"Booked in here for Tuesday 24th April evening when the weather was rubbish and I had the holiday blues so didn 't want to cook and the added bonus of a Groupon voucher to use also swayed my decision. Parking isn 't great to start with and I 'd guiltily parked outside someones house down from the cinema entrance : We entered for them to address us quizzically and claim that even though I 'd called earlier to book us in with my Groupon voucher reference they had nothing in the diary.. We were seated anyway at a very small table squashed right up at the back we had to 'bump ' passed 3 other tables which I found quite rude to the people sat down. We had no sooner got our coats off picked the menu up then we were pounced on to take our drink order efficient maybe or just a bit too eager? We ordered a bottle of red wine anyway not the house which I thought was a bit steep for a basic wine! and it was brought quick as a flash they then expected us to be ready to order we had only been in the place 8 minutes! The waitress was sent back to us and we ordered the meat antipasti to start, followed by the Gnocchi for me Lasagna for the Mr. We were brought a bread basket when the wine was produced however the butter given was solid clearly not to be used!The bread was nice and fresh though. Again, i didn 't even get a sip of my wine before the food was placed in front of us had it been pre prepared sat waiting to be ordered? The starter platter was to feature ' A selection of Italian meats and cheeses served with artichokes, olives and homemade bread ' the only bread we had was from the initial bread basket and I wouldn 't call 2 olives a selection! The meat was good quality but we felt a tad disappointed overall. We then had to wait 15 minutes for our main! My Gnocchi was nice, if a little bit bland, so I needed to be a bit over generous with the seasoning myself it lacked a bit of bite to be honest but the portion size was good. My Mr didn 't have may complaints for the Lasagna other than it could do with a bit more meat! maybe just a man thing! While we were eating, the close proximity of the tables to each other caused a few 'moments ' with the waiters a full portion of chips lost down the back of a diners chair and a bottle of beer knocked off the table when his bum stuck out a bit much in squeezing passed! Not really what I want to watch when having my dinner. We asked for the bill and sat for nearly 10 mins before I got up and went to the counter to ask again they were in no rush to get it paid either so we took the bill to the counter and paid there. I can see a lot of people are impressed with this place and go back on a regular basis I 'm not won over after this visit however. the tables are too close together the service is either too eager or too laid back where is the happy medium the beer wine list is a bit pricey the menu descriptions are a bit over zealous or they need to actually deliver on the description the food lacked seasoning. From when I observed during our meal, they are not short of business and do a good student trade. I 'm not sure for the 'professional ' couple however they have the right service/food/price quality balance I would be looking for to go regularly."

"we have always enjoyed carluccio and have our favorite dishes. However, in this occasion our seafood was lacking some of the expected seafood and the soße of taste. we had to send it back. the giardiniera was good as my bark meat pappardelle, but the carbonara was incredibly oily. a beautiful and service excellent."

"Food needed to be hotter, limited menu for children, chicken and peas no chips or potatoes with child meal and no chips on the menu. Garlic bread soggy as very oily and buttery."

"On the plus side, the service was very quick, but it made us feel rushed. As soon as I finished my meal, they immediately took my plate, even though my partner was still eating! When they cleared our starter plates, they asked if we wanted our main courses right away or if we preferred a break. Assuming our food was freshly prepared, we opted for a wait of about 10 minutes, but to our surprise, they brought our mains out within 30 seconds. We were in and out in about 40 minutes, which included a drink, a starter, and a main course. It was not the relaxed dining experience and fresh food we were hoping for! Since it does tend to be busy during the day, perhaps the food and service are better then, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for dinner."

"I'm really disappointed. I had made a reservation for four people this evening through OpenTable and received a reminder email yesterday, to which I confirmed my attendance. When I arrived tonight, the restaurant was closed for renovations. It was quite embarrassing, especially since I had recommended this place to my guests. I also left a message on the restaurant's phone, but received no response."

"Prima is our go to Italian restaurant and it is always spot on. We dined here yesterday for my boyfriend’s birthday and the food was so good. We had a cheesy garlic bread which was excellent (cheese pulls were insane) and skinny fries. For mains we had the linguini paolo and the Mexicana risotto, which were both amazing. My go to is the linguini paolo and I can’t actually count how many times I’ve had it, it’s so good! We also had some strawberry daiquiris which were really nice and well presented. I’d definitely recommend dining here"

"This restaurant is excellent. As a regular customer, I have brought many people here and they have all been satisfied without any problems. The pizza here is authentic Italian - forget about Pizza Hut or other fake pizza chains, this is the real deal. The use of fresh ingredients and strong flavors sets this place apart. They offer a variety of options including vegetarian, gluten-free, whole grain, and traditional pizzas, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is relaxed and reminiscent of Italy, allowing guests to truly savor their meal and enjoy time with friends without distractions. It's a different dining experience than your typical fast food joint in the UK. I highly recommend giving it a try for yourself."

"Caluccios was fantastic!!! The staff were amazing and the food was brilliant!! I chose it because of the gluten free menu which was sooooo good!!! It was my Mums Birthday and they put cakes on a plate with candles for me. Basically couldn't do enough for us!! However I would never book through the fork again....it doesnt register as a booking with Carluccios system....thankfully I doubled checked beforehand!!! So I would recommend booking direct"

"Our waitress was lovely and food was good. We were served the wrong meals which sat in front of us for some time before they realised their mistake. The meals were then taken over the other table. Personally I would not have accepted food that was getting cold and which had been sitting with other people. Pizzas and pastas were good. Wine was extortionate for what it was around pounds for a basic chianti."

"This restaurant is now called Dolce Italia. We had a table for 5 and were really impressed with both the food and service we received. The fish soup had a tasty bisque quality with fresh sea bass and fresh warm bread. The mushroom crostini looked good and tasted better. Caprese salad was fresh looking and yummy. Mains were also excellent. Belly of pork melted in the mouth, chicken milanese was moist with generous spaghetti in tomato sauce, with fresh tomatoes running through it. seafood linguine had lots of sea food, all perfectly cooked. Desserts were also good. I had the panna cotta, lovely wobble and beautiful taste. Also great value for money, with wine sensibly priced and affordable. Would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be returning."
