   The food was good but the service was a little slow. There was a birthday at another table and they brought out a cake with candles. One of my party said to the passing waitress that it was my birthday the previous week and a few minutes later they brought out a tiny slice of tiramisu with a candle and 4 spoons. I thought this was a really nice gesture until we got the bill and saw that they had charged us for the tiny slice of cake and it was €8! Total rip off.

   Normally excellent pasta but last pair of dishes (ragu and seafood pasta) were lacking depth of flavour or seasoning). Hope for better next time

   Foccaccia is homemade and very good. Menu has good options for vegetarians. Seafood pasta was excellent and the portion was generous. Service was pleasant. I find the indoors can be a bit loud, but we were there early in the evening.

   Lovely restaurant. Service was slow and would have been ideal except we were rushing to the theatre.

   Really enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and staff were friendly and helpful and the food was very good. The drop in star ratings was down to the fact that there was no hand soap in the toilet and the air dryer wasn't working and no paper towels to use instead and unfortunately this is not good enough.

   Glad I was seated where I was as noise level was quite high which was a shame as everyone needed to raise their own voices to be heard

    I've been a few times now, food always great value for money. I did find they rang me twice to confirm and I was emailed too. I think once to be contacted to confirm reservation is enough.

    I love Carluccio’s . I have been multiple times and they have a great gluten-free menu. However, this time I went, it took ages to get any waiters attention for ordering, getting the bill, etc. It was busier than I would usually see it, so I put it down to that. Still loved the food and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

    Before the pandemic I went several times and enjoyed the food and service. This time after making a reservation, we were asked if 6 high seats would be ok for our table to which we said no and waited until they cleared an upstairs table. Dried out calamari, dried out pasta in clumps and pretty tasteless, steak not cooked as requested, had to ask for everything inc. water, dessert menu. We informed the server about the calamari who said he would inform his manager. The bill came to €230 inc tip. They deducted 3.20 as complementary. Won't be rushing back. Don't know if it's new management, chefs or both but they need to improve quickly.

    My husband and I had dinner here. Enjoyed the cocktails.Had the specialty pasta of the house- large ziti with spinach/garlic balls and shredded zucchini. This was my fav pasta dish ever- would go back and order the same. Was very busy but service was good. Noise level a little high but not intolerable. Would def go back if in Dublin again.

    Our starters took a long time to come out and only 2 out of 3 arrived together. The third starter arrived 15 minutes later when the other two diners had already finished eating. The quality of food was also low, chewy & cold calamari. There was a lot of banging of plates etc at the dumb waiter area which created a lot of noise. Overall not a great experience.

    Booked for 12pm for brunch having checked the menu. Unfortunately it doesn't say on the website that breakfast is only served until 11.30 so we were a bit disappointed. Might be worth highlighting it on the website maybe? We had to book from the all day menu, which is a lovely menu, but we wanted breakfast. The food was, as always, really good and we all enjoyed it but not what we wanted at that time. But service and food were great. The Bruschetta was SO good. We were asked to move table because they had a bigger group arriving and as a thank you we were given a complimentary glass of prosecco/soft drinks for the pregnant ladies which was a nice touch! Will try and book for breakfast again in the future because the menu looks really good.

    Service was extremely slow. It took about 25 minutes for our starters to be lifted. We then waited almost an hour for our mains which were cold and had to be sent back. When we received our mains a second time, the food was lovely and the waiter was very apologetic and always checking up on us. We also got a drink on the house for the delay and the food being cold. It would not stop me returning!

    Regular visitor to Carluccios for breakfast when I visit Dublin. Always a warm, smiley welcome. Love the porridge with the berries and sesame seeds. For Dublin city-centre, reasonably priced too. Will be back
