"I have been meaning to try Carluccios for a while and I thought today would be my day as I was passing it in Leeds. My first impression was that a hoarder runs this place and it wasn 't a resturant at all, going into the resturant is like a shop. They is a place outside where I guess you wait to be seated, but I stayed their a few minutes and no one came. When I was finally greated by a member of staff when I walked in, I just thought she was an average person as I didn 't see her or any other members of staff wearing uniforms. I ordered Scrambled Egg with Salmon, i shared a laugh with the waiter and I told him Don 't make me pronounce it , they have a large gluten free menu with breakfast and gluten free bread, which was nice to see, it is just a shame that the bread was awful. Service was relativley quick with my drinks and food coming at the same time. I didn 't really like my coffee, it has quite a strong taste, I like coffee quite strong but it didn 't taste the quality it should of been from an itallian resturant. My meal cost about £7 and I still was hungry after it because it was such a small portion, I admit the scrambled egg was very rich and delicious and the salmon just sweetend the deal but I feel it still isn 't worth that price for how much food I got and simply I left hungry. My friend ordered Eggs Benedict and also had to pay quite a bit of money and he also left hungry and got a small portion. As I enjoyed my food, I decided to get something else from here, I can 't remember the last time I ordered a dessert, even as a young kid I never ate sweet stuff but today I ordered a sorbet, I decided to opt for Melon. I was delighted that the waiter offered to get me another flavour, she said you can choose 2 flavours because you get 2 scoops, some waiters would just leave it without telling me, it was nice she let me know that and I got a scoop of mandarin. The 2 scoops were quite large and cost £3.95. The sorbet was very cold as it normally is but I found the flavour to be quite nice, even though I found the mandarin flavour to be too overpowering the mix of flavours with Melon and Mandarin were quite enjoyable. I was confused that the frozen sorbet took 10 minutes as it is only getting it out of the freezer, one scoop, two scoop, then deliver it to my table which was quite close to the kitchen. They is a few charging cables so you can charge your devices. As much as I would love to give more stars, I can only give 3 because the food prices are just too expensive even if it is quite nice, as I left hungry and had to order a dessert, and my friend had to go to another cafe. It can 't cost that much to make a little bit of scrambled egg, salmon and 2 toast so they should be able to give me more for my money, if I got much more food I would of even considered full marks for this place. To sum up, the food is delicious but expensive and you leave hungry, as much as I would love to give 4 or even 5 stars, as I said the portion sizes and pricing just lets it down."
