What Ben likes about Carluccio's Reading:
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. View all feedback. What Matt Thomas doesn't like about Carluccio's Reading:
Visited here for a 50th birthday celebration for a full 3 course meal. The experience as a whole was quite good with close attention to service clean amenities. However, the cost of 6x Limoncello shots at £47.70 just put a complete downer on the whole night ...I could of bought 2 special edition gift sets for that! £7.95 for a shot of lemon was just shocking, that needs a serious review.

Good food. Most of the dishes are good except the duck and the milanese escalope. Pizza are just ok.

I tried pasta and mixed salad and that was really delicious and authentic Italian food. The service and kindness of Denzil added to the awesome experience

Lovely food and atmosphere. Charlene was an efficient and friendly waitress, who kept the drinks flowing. We will be returning soon!

The restaurant received mixed reviews, with customers expressing disappointment in the quality of food for the high prices. Some dishes were bland and lacked seasoning, while others felt like they could have been from a budget pub chain. However, the service was highlighted positively, with specific mention of attentive and friendly staff. Despite some shortcomings, the restaurant redeemed itself with a memorable opera evening that exceeded expectations. Overall, the food was praised for being tasty, but the portions were noted to be small. Customers appreciated the service and expressed a desire to return for the excellent food quality.
