"The restaurant downstairs is cute but small, with only 24 seats where you are very close to your neighbor's table. The service was nice, starting with a bottle of cold water and good fresh bread. Unfortunately, the wine selection was limited to varietal with no mention of producer or vintage year, which was disappointing for serious wine drinkers. The pizza margarita was good, although it could have had more flavor. We were not impressed with the linguine vongole as the clams were not in the shell, making it difficult to discern their freshness. The clams did not taste fresh and the sauce was overly oily with little clam juice or flavor. Prices were fair, but we are unlikely to return based on our experience."

"The rebuilt conservatory is more solid than the previous version, and so it's now warmer and more comfortable. Its dark colour means it's also less visually intrusive at night. The service team are yet to gel into a smooth running operation one of our glasses of wine was only correct on the third try but they are friendly and eager to please, and seem aware that many guests are returning regulars keen to try out the new format. The longer menu is very welcome, and the kitchen seems to be doing as good a job as it used to."

"This is mine and my mum’s absolute go to restaurant before a show in Edinburgh. Without fail this is where we end up at the start of our night. Great prices, food and staff – I cannot recommend this place enough. Last time we had the pre theatre menu and everything was delicious and served very promptly. I started off with the fried Camembert which was delicious and just melted in my mouth while my mum had the mushroom in the white wine sauce. For main course; one of my favourite Italian dishes is meatballs and pasta which luckily was on the menu – it had lots of garlic through it which is just the way I like it. My mum went for the lasagna which was lovely but extremely hot when it was delivered to the table. As if I hadn't eaten enough I had apple pie for dessert while my mum had a coffee. Everything was delicious and we were out in plenty of time for our show. I’ll definitely be back again."

"I thought the service was first class and you were made to feel comfortable from the moment you sat down. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Value is good considering the ambiance and restaurant. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going again. Also just a heads up if you decide to go on a Friday make sure it’s with a group of friends or like a bit of loud music. Singer was great but not if you want a quiet one."

"when we went to this place, my wife and I discovered a damp and muffy smell. it reminded me of a wet dirty mop! we were there for the pizza with the farewell and took place while we waited for them to be cooked. on the first look the place looked very nice, but while I was on our order, I could take a closer look. with more accurate inspection the decor and decoration was very sad," and in the necessity of improvement. we were glad that we were there for one. my pizza was very good, but a little burned at the edges, a part of the teigs at the edges was burned black. the pizza of my wife, however, was not cooked in the middle and the teig there was of a sloppy resistance. will not go back there."

"Our evening was a delightful and relaxed experience thanks to the excellent food and service. It was our first visit with friends, and it did not disappoint; we’re already looking forward to trying the brunch menu! The table was perfect for us to catch up throughout the night, and the atmosphere was inviting. The timing between the courses was just right for us, but if you’re looking for a quick meal, I’d recommend letting the staff know. This isn’t a critique; the service was delivered in a very professional, Italian manner—relaxed and unhurried. Overall, it was another fantastic evening for us as regular visitors, and we can’t wait for our next visit!"

"Lovely experience overall, our waiter was friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations for food. We went straight after work (just before 6.30 on a Thursday) so it was a little busy but not overcrowded. A mixed crowd as there were families, couples, friends solo diners younger kids were a little loud but not a huge issue I’d say as everyone’s chatting! Great value for money overall as we had wine, starter and a big main which was all under £25 would recommend and would go again!"

"The bistro was somewhat empty and as a result, it felt quite dull and lacking in atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The lasagna was cooked and served in the same dish, making it extremely hot. The garnish was minimal, consisting of just a few sprigs of greenery."
"we have never set ourselves right, because the button movement on the reservation leads them to the spaghetti house on the goodge street, not to the restaurant on the sicilian avenue. the goodge street restaurant could not accommodate us (and were very rude) and we had no time to make it into the other restaurant, because of a theatre booking. we tried to ring, but they didn't pick up! eating and ambiente may be great, but their phone, email and communication skills are appalling. a nice pub that made a nice cake. not the pasta we had hoped for!"

"It seems we chose a quiet night to dine there, being midweek, but the restaurant still had a nice atmosphere. Menu choice was ample and the food was very enjoyable seafood linguine and chicken saltimbocca as our main courses. But what made the evening most enjoyable was Joanne, the waitress who was absolutely charming and could not do enough to please us despite her serving every single table in the restaurant that evening. What a delight she is, and hopefully a much treasured and appreciated member of Carluccio’s Chester team."

"I had a wonderful evening at Carluccio's—my first time dining there. I initially booked a table for 12 three days before my 50th birthday, but after being surprised with a party, I adjusted it down to 6 and then 3. Despite the changes, the meal was delightful; I ordered the chicken with white wine sauce and requested a small amount just in case I didn’t like it, but it turned out to be delicious. There were no complaints about my last-minute changes to the reservation; the staff, especially the manager, were incredibly nice and friendly. I will definitely return soon and highly recommend this restaurant!"

"My wife and I make it a point to have a meal out at least once a month. Our previous experiences at this restaurant have been very good. We started with appetizers as usual, but when I ordered a medium rare filet steak, it came out well-done. I was disappointed to hear the staff try to convince me that it was cooked to the correct temperature. I shouldn't have to explain the difference between medium rare and well-done. Eventually, they replaced my steak with a medium rare one, but only after my wife had finished her meal."

"The restaurant was extremely quiet and the main dishes took a long time to be served. When they finally arrived, the side dishes were cold, which was surprising considering there were only 6 people in the restaurant. The steak was flavorful but a little tough. The service was not very good, as we had to repeatedly ask for water. The staff was accommodating in taking items off the bill for being cold, but overall I would not return to this restaurant."

"My partner made a reservation at this restaurant before we went to see Christmas lights at the local garden center and wanted to have dinner beforehand. The restaurant appeared to be cozy and inviting, but unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. We were seated and asked for our drink order right away, which is standard, but then, within 3 minutes, a waitress approached us to see if we were ready to order food. With a 1-year-old child in tow, it took us some time to get settled and look at the menu. I requested 5 more minutes to decide, but the waitress passed by our table 3 times without coming back to take our order. After waiting for 25 minutes (and with a tight schedule due to the Christmas lights booking), I had to get up to find someone to take our order. When our food finally arrived, it was underwhelming and didn't justify the high prices on the menu. I ordered the curry, which was overly spicy and the chicken seemed to be frozen. My partner's steak, ordered medium rare, was closer to rare and didn't meet expectations given the high price. The only redeeming factor was the decent chips. I'm not from the area, but I wouldn't consider revisiting if we attend the Christmas lights again next year. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3"

"We visited this restaurant on our first night in Durham as it was close to where we were staying. I am delighted that we did as the food was really good. There was a very good choice of main meals and also desserts. I can thoroughly recommend the chicken dishes and also the pannecotta. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we returned again on our last night. The service was very good and our waiter was especially attentive and helpful as I have to eat gluten free. Thank you for two very enjoyable and tasty meals out."

"my wife and I try to get a meal at least once a month, previous visits here were very good. starter were in order, but I ordered a medium rare filet steak for my head, got my steak, which was done well, mistakes happen, but try to tell me that the steak was medium rare was just frustrating, I should not explain the difference, so replaced my steak with a medium rare, although after my wife had finished her meal."
