Wonderful Operatic Valentines night. The usual great service and excellent food accompanied by a live opera singer and piano. Really good value for money. This was a special event which Fenwick allowed evening access to. I do hope that they allow more such special evening events.

We had been here many time before and always found it spot on. Our recent visit was no exception. From the moment we arrived we were given excellent service. The food was top notch and good value for money. My daughter and I had the Confit Duck with creamy mash, broccoli and a red wine sauce - wow, just...wow!

What has happened??? …we have not visited for a while and we where really looking forward to our usual lunches but no menu is dreadful portions are now tiny service without a smile or smiles from anyone toilet out of order. We will never visit again and never go to one in another town or city either especially paying over £40 for the experience. ( I only had tap water) After leaving we went to Marks for a meal deal as so hungry. BAD SHOW

Went for breakfast and was pretty quiet for around 10:00am. We each had a coffee and Eggs Royal and eggs florentine. Coffee was nice and strong the waiter quick to take our order. Food didn't take too long to arrive either and I was quite surprised by the size of the portions as I ordered a extra sausage just encase. Needless to say the food was very tasty and will definitely return to try some dinner as I heard the pasta dishes are supposed to be really nice.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience with exceptional service, Carluccio's is the place to be. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Jorge, you're in for a treat! I highly recommend Carluccio's and extend my sincere thanks to Jorge for making our afternoon truly special. We will undoubtedly be returning for more culinary delights in the future. Grazie Mille

I visited this place many times. Recently, I had there dinner with dessert. The place is more expensive than average restaurant, but the food is good. I was in Italy many times and it's more british-italian style food, but it's okay. Service is great. Atmosphere 5+. Nice place for late dinner or brunch.

Visited today for lunch. Nice environment however the food was mediocre with items on the menu sold our at 2pm in the afternoon ( again it would seem as also mentioned by another reviewer previously). When I mentioned that it was a shame that the calamari had run out I was told 'well food does run out you know, the delivery hasn't been on time and we have been busy!". I thought this was substandard customer service and not how I expect to be spoken to as a customer! I wasn't expecting an apology or wasn't complaining, merely making conversation but the waitress attitude and response was very unprofessional.

As a former supervisor at this fantastic restaurant, I couldn't be prouder to write a glowing review about the delightful experience I had working there. The delectable Italian cuisine served here is truly a culinary delight that will leave your taste buds singing with joy! The waitstaff is incredibly attentive, always ready with a smile and eager to provide recommendations based on your preferences. The kitchen team works tirelessly to prepare each dish to perfection, making sure that every plate leaving the kitchen is a masterpiece. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with such a talented and devoted group. The delicious food, combined with the warm and friendly staff, creates a truly remarkable ambiance that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a delightful meal, this restaurant is the place to be. Bravo to the entire team for their outstanding work! Buon appetito! 🍝🍷

The restaurant wasn't too busy when we went, which was also nice. Our food came out relatively quickly. Only downside is that they close at 5.30 (same time as Fenwick) which is a bit early.

Had a fantastic time for an Opera night at Carluccio’s. We were treated to canapés, a glass of Prosecco and a 3 course Italian dinner. Really enjoyed the arias and show songs performed by the opera singers. Service was as usual to a high standard, all staff were helpful and prompt for drinks and food orders. Kenny and the team deserve a lot of praise for their organisation and hard work in making it a fun evening for all. Would highly recommend Carluccio’s and hoping to attend the next Opera night too!

Superb breakfast! I never normally have scrambled eggs out as they’re never normally as good at home, these were silky and gorgeous. Top quality herby sausages, crispy pancetta and delicious mixed mushrooms. One of the best breakfasts served in Colchester and in my top all time breakfast list. Also when you add a hot drink and juice for £11.50 it’s good value for money. I actually had an extra sausage and smashed avocado and was stuffed. Yum will definitely go back!!

the starters were lovely, the turbot main was okay but was a bit bland. the steak was raw on either end but cooked in the middle which was a bit confusing but i suppose it’s not a steak restaurant so somewhat understandable. the tables were way too close together so it felt like we were dining with strangers.

Attended for a meal. There were tables not cleared and been like it for a while, even though the place was not busy. Service very slow, cleared table before everyone had finished their meal and asked if dessert menus required when people still eating. Not able to provide change when paid cash and still added 10% service charge. Very poor and would not recommend even though food was very nice
