As ever we had a lovely time at Carluccio's. The staff are terrific. The food is delicious. It is such great value and we keep coming back.

I ordered the Chicken Milanese, which was supposed to come with a side of tomatoes and salad. However, I was served a tough piece of plain breaded chicken that resembled something you would find in the supermarket freezer section. The dish only included one tomato, cut in half, and the side salad consisted of rocket leaves with large chunks of cheese. This type of meal is what I would expect from a budget pub chain at a much lower price, not from an Italian restaurant charging £15. The atmosphere was unpleasant, with very few customers and bright white lights, creating a cafeteria-like feel (even though it was only 8pm). On a positive note, the waitress provided excellent service. It was disappointing to see how the quality of the food and atmosphere has declined since our previous visit in 2021/2022.

Finished the marathon came in for a coffee and pastry. Charlene was serving us and my down syndrome son took a liking to her. She was very kind and helpful. We will definitely come back and utilise the offer she told us about.

I decided to take a break from the Reading Marathon and stopped by Carluccio's for a pizza. Charlene provided excellent service and I will definitely be returning.
