Carluccio's Cribbs

Have not been to Carluccio’s for a few years, sadly they are not what they once were, the food is bland and poorly served. For a place that charge the amount they do and for the memory of Carluccio himself this should be far better quality in food and service. I would advise you avoid this branch, it’s not working for so many reasons. Service: Dine in

Excellent as alwsys. Go to place for a top-notch breakfast brunch or lunch. One of my Service: Delivery Meal type: Brunch Food: 5 Service: 5

Booked a table via the Carluccio's website for the Cribbs Causeway restaurant, for 5.45pm. Arrived and ordered drinks to then be told around 6pm they were closing early as they had a chef shortage, so we rushed to order. Shared 2 starters, the meatballs and bruschetta. The meatballs were barely warm, so were sent back. The bruschetta was basically tasteless tomatoes on bread, not a hint or garlic and barely any basil. Thankfully the cost was removed from our bill. The mains were OK. However the Chicken Milanese is extremely overpriced for what was essentially breaded chicken (no hint of rosemary in the breadcrumbs), a smattering of rocket and gem lettuce, with 3 halves of baby tomatoes. I would not book another. With every increasing costs, I would rather spend money elsewhere and ensure I am getting the quality I am paying for.

Lovely place, went there for breakfast. Lots of choices for gluten free. Good money value. They had good deals. The waitress forgot to add the discount but quickly sorted when reminded. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
