Carluccio’s began life in 1991 when Antonio and Priscilla opened their food shop in Neal Street, bringing the finest quality regional Italian food to London. They carefully wrote each label by hand and explored the length and breadth of Italy to find the best ingredients. In 1999 they opened the first Carluccio’s Caffè in Market Place – an authentic Italian restaurant in the truest sense of the word, and a continuation of their successful food shop.

I have been to Italy a fair few times and this is the closest I have found to authentic Italian food. We had lovely waitresses, with one stopping to chat to us for about 5 minutes at the end of our stay which was really refreshing as we were worried about being rushed out the door as we were there til close (but that didn t happen at all!). I ve attached a photo of our food (the excessive amount of cheese was my choice and is not how it comes ).
