Iâ¬"ve stuffed my face at various different Carluccio restaurants but this one is a disappointment. Here are my experiences. Dirty tables and floor with the waiter snarling when asked to re clean the surface. The wrong bill provided ⬠common mistake but happens on a regular basis. After enjoying the spaghetti with spinach balls thought Iâ¬"d sample one of the salads so opted for a chicken one with peppers, green beans and potatoes. First time, no potatoes. Second time, adorned with everything but the oil dressing ⬠the waiter maintained it was present however no liquid existed at the bottom of the bowl. Third and final time no peppers. Have now given up with the dish. Canâ¬"t fault the antipasti though. In summary, I find it to be overpriced with ridiculously small portions ⬠or am I just greedy?!]]> Sun, 28 Sep 2008 17:22:38 +0000 /review/uk/tunbridge-wells/restaurant/1v91k6m/carluccio-s/1u3nq8284829841 Eviltwit 51.130114616372 0.26243225170323 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/tunbridge-wells/restaurant/1v91k6m/carluccio-s/1y1g18

I used to love Carluccio's breakfasts, the quality of food was second to none. However recently the quality slipped somewhat. Raw egg isn't my favourite, especially not when told 'it is cooked sir, it won't hurt you'. Portion size / control seems to have completely gone out of the window too. Some weeks you get a fair amount, other weeks literally nothing.
The dinner menu is diverse and there is lots to choose from. Not just with Italian, but with the occasional British meal on the specials board.
I'd still say its a great place to go, but only if you are prepared to pay a premium]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:08:34 +0000 /review/uk/tunbridge-wells/restaurant/1v91k6m/carluccio-s/1y1g18292559018 Peloquin 51.130114616372 0.26243225170323 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/tunbridge-wells/restaurant/1v91k6m/carluccio-s/1b29r8

I was meeting my visiting Uncle who was staying down south so we decided to meet in the middle at Tunbridge Wells. Carluccio's was very convenient - opposite the station. It was quite busy with a mixed crowd of families and couples.

The food was pretty good and very well priced. I had a plate of bruschetta for entree which was excellent, they had gone beyond your standard fare bruschetta and mixed in some roasted yellow peppers and some herby mixed lettuce leaf as well as a splash of balsamic - which was most welcome. My cousin and uncle shared an anitpasto plate which looked superb.

I had penne with a spicy sausage sauce, not bad, but hardly sending shockwaves through the culinary world. My cousin and uncle had penne with deep fried spinach balls, I must say I was struck down with a bout of food envy when their dishes were served.

I would recommend dropping in here, probably not for an intimate dinner, but for lunch or dinner with family and friends. The service was fast and friendly.

I think the bill came to around 40 quid for the three of us, no wine but a few beers.

This is an absolutely fantastic place for authentic italian cuisine, eating or shopping. It's very cnetral and the food is the finest this side of Milan. A must visit for all true afficianados of Italian food. ]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2007 19:59:29 +0000 /review/uk/tunbridge-wells/restaurant/1v91k6m/carluccio-s/1m81l81198474290 austinmax 51.130114616372 0.26243225170323
