Carluccio's - Solihull in Solihull

Excellent breakfast today with brilliant service provided by Dan. The ambience here is always warm and friendly and the food is consistently good.

Eaterie with modern decor that has a lovely atmosphere. Lots of people chatting. Kitchen open. You can see the chefs cooking. Food is delicious. Great breakfasts and brunch menu. Eggs. Bacon and mushrooms with spinach... Smoked salmon ...choice of Italian and continental evening menu. Good choice of wine. Service excellent. April 2024. Had delicious lunch.. Confirm duck, green beans and saute potatoes... Pudding.. Lemoncello tart with raspberry sorbet. Was divine. Great service too. Go there!

The crockery is as old, worn, and marked as virtually the rest of the place. It really is in need of a deep clean and an urgent refurbishment. Our breakfast/brunch, however, has improved in quality as has the service, which is more amenable if still hard to get. Meals are still served luke warm on cold plates, which is off-putting. Pastries and cakes are still poor quality, too, unfortunately. A refurbishment with new tables, chairs, crockery, etc. And more staff providing a better service and it might get more than a third full...

Very attitude onnthe phone she wasn't aware of my disability but it's shows total arrogance and discusting service

We have had a fantastic time, amazing food, wine and surroundings. Highly recommended. I feel relaxed and energised. Service exceptional. Lots of advice on food given. Great experience. Thank you.

We today (Sunday 31st March) dined at Carluccio's and was thoroughly impressed with the excellent service and food quality. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, especially when we mentioned we were heading to a concert at the NEC. They even sang happy birthday to me in both English and Italian, making my birthday celebration extra special. The prompt service ensured we were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I will definitely be returning to Carluccio's in the future. Grazie mille for a memorable evening!

Dan served up a whole lot of goodies... cakes, pastries and tasty breads. Very nice and very well done. Much appreciated.

We eat lunch at Carluccio's Solihull every week. The service is excellent, especially when Dan looks after us, which is nearly always. He is extremely helpful and suggests alternatives if we are not sure about a side or a dish. We look forward to eating at Carluccios, the staff are very friendly and we have a lovely time.

Went to Carluccio's today for lunch for our wedding anniversary. We ordered from the set menu which saved us almost £20 and the food was exquisite! It was busy but service was still very quick, our food came out fast and fresh. There was a lovely atmosphere and we liked the open kitchen. We would definitely return again to try out other dishes.

Not great. Chicken Saltembocca very dry, plate full of grease. My friends lasagna was cold. Dissapointed😒 . Not the birthday treat i expected. Luckily my friends were good company. Not for me.

The culinary journey at this restaurant is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you take your first bite, you're enveloped in a symphony of flavors that captivate the senses. Let's start with the salted chicken – tender pieces of chicken marinated in a delicate blend of spices and salt, resulting in a dish that is both succulent and flavorful. Each bite reveals layers of complexity, with the seasoning perfectly complementing the natural sweetness of the chicken. Next up is the seafood rice, a dish that transports you to the shores of distant seas with its bounty of fresh seafood. Succulent shrimp, tender squid, and plump mussels mingle with fragrant rice, creating a harmonious fusion of land and sea. Every spoonful is a delight, with the flavors of the ocean dancing on your palate. And then there's the confit duck, a masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship. The duck is slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in meat that is meltingly tender and imbued with rich, savory flavors. The skin is rendered to a crispy perfection, providing the perfect contrast to the luscious meat beneath. But it's not just the individual dishes that shine; it's the meticulous attention to detail that elevates the dining experience to new heights. Each ingredient is carefully sourced and expertly prepared, ensuring that every dish is a masterpiece in its own right. With prices ranging from £9-10 per dish, this restaurant offers exceptional value without compromising on quality. And with the added incentive of a 50% discount on your next visit when you keep your receipt, there's even more reason to indulge in this culinary delight.

The cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious. Many thanks to the team, especially Daniel. I would highly recommend Carluccio's 👌

Excellent chocolate and Nutella cheesecake. The atmosphere is great. Service prompt to answer any questions and suggest best options for your need. Location is very good in the middle of the high street. Will visit again to taste food too.

Came here on 17/04, had a really lovely time! The staff were really accommodating, especially our waiter Ethan who was always checking up on us throughout the meal, and was very funny too! Food was really beautiful as well. I had the Arancini (pictured) and the Ravioli di Mare and both were gorgeous. I would say that it is on the pricier side, but justifiable because of the quality of the food. Will definitely return in the future.

Carluccio's never disappoints me. Thank you all.

Is it really so.difficult to cook a steak? My son ordered a rib eye, medium rare. The first attempt was cold and very bloodied, the second would have made a fine sole for a shoe. Certainly not the standard we expect at Carluccio's .

Great parties and desserts thanks too the team and Dan for the awesome service:)

Received some absolutely delicious pastries and bread from Daniel. The donuts are something else they give Crispy Cremes run for the money light yummy yummy and so flavour full keep up the good work. Your breads are so soft to the squeeze and delightful toasted or just buttered. I give you a double thumbs up and a double high five. You got some mouth watering baking going on keep it up.

Very disappointed it was very noisy and food mediocre on this occasion. Probably won't return and wouldn't recover

So so busy but managed to get a table, excellent service from Daniel very attentive despite how busy it was felt like we got full service, food was amazing! Thank you

I'm afraid our feedback on our visit yesterday isn't good. We booked a table for 2.30 and were seated quickly on arrival. However, it was then over 1/2 hr before we were even offered a drink. At that stage we were told the pizza oven wasn't working even though the pizza menus had been placed on the table and 2 of the party had chosen one. Disappointingly, their choices were changed and we then waited a long time for the starters - one of which arrived cold. The mains were ok apart from the seabass which consisted of the smallest fillets I've ever seen and not good value at all. The cold tomato salad they were served with and a handful of rocket with no dressing was really not nice and the tomato salad didn't seem freshly prepared- it was all left on the plate. No one came to ask us if everything was ok with our meal and no one asked us when they came to clear the plates. We usually love Carluccios but sadly not on this occasion. It was an early Mother's Day treat and didn't feel like one at all.

Great meals again. Very busy as usual so service not as quick as it could have been. One strange thing was NO soda available for a white wine & soda drink. We were bought sparkling water with no notice tht they had no soda and not offered any other choices to go with the white wine. Just not good practice. Generally a good experience and more than happy to go back but will ust chose a different drink.

Ordered toasted panettone and poached eggs on ciabatta with smashed avo roasted tomato .. got mine first ( no coffee or coke first) my elderly friend waited and waited. My eggs got colder and colder. Did bring his toasted panettone .. 1/2 cm thick just toasted three rounds. My avo was discoloured no roasted tomato just three slivers .. long teeth cold eggs. Gut take back bring both together. Did complain got 20% off. Not the point it’s about the food … not go back. My Elderly friend said the same.

We are regulars at Carluccio’s Solihull , it is by far the best restaurant in Solihull in our opinion. The food is always excellent , tuna cooked to perfection by Yakeam . Shout out to the whole team and especially Dan who served us on this visit 👍

Our first visit to Carluccio"s Solihull as we're here for the weekend to visit a relative. Really delicious food promptly served by 1st class front of house staff

My Italian father-in-law came to visit. We took him to our favourite restaurant, Carluccio's Solihull. The menu choices suited all our taste buds. The waiter Dan was very efficient and the food arrived soon. The manager Joanna was the highlight. Her friendly and welcoming approach made us feel a part of Carluccio's family. My son just loved the pancakes. Also, thank you to Raluca she has been part of our Carluccios visits for a few years. Visiting Carluccios Solihull is a must, the best Italian restaurant in the UK.

Visited on a Saturday early evening, we hadn't booked and was told rather abruptly that we could only have the table for 1hr 30 mins as they were fully booked. They must use that line so you feel grateful they could fit you in. When we left it was still half empty. The food was very average, my friend enjoyed her pizza but my seafood linguine was quite rubbery and very fishy smelling. The calamari was very chewy Bill came to just over £60 for 2 meals and 2 drinks which is expensive considering we had a pizza and a bowl of pasta. I wouldn't visit again

Great situation in Solihull, however the meal was dreadful….carbonara pizza was awful and the spaghetti bolognaise anything but tasty….tasted like pre made food heated up. Would not recommend at all!

Lovely and intimate, beautiful atmosphere. Food and staff gave a good service. 👍🏼 I'd go back there.

Excellent place when you've gone for a shop in Solihul. Lovely staff and good food. Offer on when I went on Pannetone so might want to see if that's still on..

Came here for dinner with my daughter, I had the lasagne it was ok but I've had better and the portion was small I could have ate 2 ... too small of a portion for the price. My daughter enjoyed her carbonara. Staff were pleasant and helpful

Nice food, good service. Tables are little bit cramped in areas but clean and tidy.

Great place great menu and tasty food 👌thanks Pav and Kinga 😁

Food as good as ever.Service all fine, lovely waitress and bar staff.Chef clearly good too! Linguine,spot on.

I came here for my birthday and I was blown away by the service and most importantly the food. The staff patiently waited for a late member of my family to arrive and they even offered to keep it warm in the oven. I really hope I get the luxury of coming back to this special restaurant.

surprised how quiet it was when arriving late morning and shown only breakfast menu. asked whether possible to have soup and told we'd have to wait 20 minutes for lunch menu so decided to try avocado smoked salmon and poached eggs on toast instead. fabulous choice - coffees were good too. made a change from full breakfast we have usually but surprised that it didn't start to really fill up until about 45 minutes later. always enjoy eating here. good value

Our initial service was mediocre, the waiters didn't really bother with us but after 10 minutes of waiting for service we did have a really lovely man take our orders and he was a really delightful server throughout. The food was nice and they are offering a really good discount for Jan 2024 having eaten there at Xmas time. Would return but would like the servers to actually be more accommodating in their general demeanor...

Very poor main course portion size. I won't be going to this restaurant again.

Music is way too loud! Even your staff can't communicate with each other properly. Wrong order to our table, and staff actively avoid the customers, so you can't get their attention. Will use the café next door from now on.

A friend and I really enjoyed our meal. The service was very good and the waiter so nice and friendly. Food was nice! Sea bass nicely cooked ! Have been lots of times before and enjoyed it !!

Just love this restaurant and we visit as much as we can. Staff are so friendly and the food is always delicious!!

Great food, great service, lovely staff. Would definitely recommend.

Quick to be seated, slow for order to be taken. Ordered from Christmas menu (good variety) at £30 for 3 courses per person. My starter of Aracini was tasty but topped with extremely chilled sliver of cheese. Main course Steak and fries with frozen flavoured butter to garnish. Steak was delicious but not sure about the butter. Desert of Chocolate fondant was excellent. Was one of 3 to 4 couples dining in - early evening.

My friend & I had 2 courses & left hungry! My soup was good but the Carbonara pizza was very bland. No taste. My friend's starter was OK. Her main course of lobster tortellini was like a starter! Portion was very, very small. Service was good but wouldn't recommend the food.

As a rider went there to collect an order After I arrived they sent an order to the kitchen to make it ready,they just ignored and didn't bother to say how long it would take to get ready.we riders don't get paid for the waiting

The food was excellent and the service as usual was great 👍 would not go anywhere else.

Went today for lunch and I must say the food was so fresh and delicious. I had the seafood linguine and mom the pizza, all which came out together, fresh and hot

The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting. The staff was also very courteous and attentive, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to dine

I attended carluccio's restaurant on the 11th October for my mums special 60th birthday. I raised a complaint on this official carluccio's website, however i am yet to hear anything back. The customer service was was poor - We waited at least 25 minutes until we placed our order. The was food was cold and bland. For example, seafood pasta had prawn is but did not taste fresh. We have been to carluccio's many times and have always thoroughly enjoyed our meal so much that we decided to attend for my mums birthday . The pizza was soggy and came out cold. The drinks too so long to come out. I hope you're able to compensate us accordingly. I felt our experience ruined my mothers special birthday. Ive emailed x2 times but no response. And submitted a complaint on carluccio's website

First time with fish potatoes that come separately were cold Second time confit of duck had a solid base that. was unable to cut Once again potatoes garlic & rosemary were Luke warm I did not. complain as I had previously complained & potatoes were changed I went here for a calm meal not one to have completely changed if I complained Very disappointing

We have been so many times but this time it has left us with bad memories. Food was inedible. Had to return and leave hungry. We were told the chef is new but serving this food which is badly cooked to customers was a disastrous experience Never returning back

Carluccio's in Solihull was very quiet, however they still took a long time in taking our order. The chips that came with our main were cold and weren't pleasant to eat. Requested a new portions of chips, which wasn't a problem. The food was too salty, and the food was overcooked for some of the mains. We didn't complain as we were extremely hungry.

We booked a table on Monday for Wednesday evening for 8.30 pm as I had a late hospital appointment. I had a voicemail left and picked it up as I left my appointment. It was 8pm when we were on our way to restaurant.! I was told that the restaurant was closing at 9pm . We were at that point unable to find anywhere else to eat. I am so annoyed that no one contacted us on Tuesday or at least earlier on Wednesday to let us know so that we could book somewhere else . A ruined 😡 evening . Unacceptable service

Nos anularon la reserva 4 horas antes de la hora concertada. No volveremos a ese lugar. También a ustedes les puede suceder, tomen precauciones

Lovely restaurant, very friendly staff - I had lunch on a very rainy day and everyone was extremely welcoming and acommodating, Lumi was very pleasant one. Everything was top notch!

To start our day off we headed to carluccios for a warm beverage. We were greeted by the most friendly waitress who lay out the tables to suit us (as there was five of us) and promptly made our drinks. She was very patient and made sure we had a table booked for our lunch meal. Come lunch time we returned back to the restaurant and again greeted with warmth and joy. Our orders were taken and food arrived shortly after (my lasagna was top notch). Then we moved onto desserts. They were very accommodating to different tastes when the flavour of ice cream wanted to be changed, which in other restaurants staff make you feel like it’s the end of the world. Overall would visit again made a lovely family day out (worth every penny).

I took my son for a relaxing drink to Carluccios Solihull. We sat at the Pizza Oven area. Wow, the decor is absolutely stunning. Dan, the waiter treated us as family 👪. The Mocha was perfect. The restaurant was full, the atmosphere great, and the management on the ball. Highly recommended Carluccios. 👌

Decent food and amazing service. I loved the pizza I had, would come here again!

My first time and not the last.

While somewhat overpriced for what you get, the food is still quite good. Service is a delight and staff are always on the ball, clearly well trained! Will return.

Called into Carluccios for a coffee had not been here for a while a friendly welcome we had two lovely Decaf lattes the service was excellent we acquired some Italian Amaretti biscuits for Christmas gives a very pleasant experience Well worth a visit.

lovely atmosphere and delicious food

Called into Carluccios for coffee warm welcome from member of staff the coffee's were excellent a lovely smooth blend of coffee we purchased Italian biscuits for presents for Christmas a very pleasant experience Well worth a visit

Food tasty ! You won't be disappointed every time you come.

Just had a delicious family meal here. The staff always offer high quality friendly service and the place always has a buzz to it. Also, a great location to combine with a cinema trip too.

Chicken was undercooked, not acceptable for a restaurant. We were offered 2 complementary coffees.

Long wait for food, could have been because it was food festival weekend. Lasagne was well overcooked. Other tables were complaining. Very disappointed.

definitely a bad experience, food not worth the price. Forget about regular customer service, I ordered a chicken burger with fries and the waiter brought me a chicken with breadcrumbs and side salad instead. I just ate half of it just because it was a family gathering so I didn't want to ruin the moment with them. the rest of the family didn't like the food, my daughter ordered a garlic bread and it was cold. Never going to come back again, it was absolutely disgraceful

Had a very good evening with family. The member of staff who took care of us was brilliant. The atmosphere was perfect. The food was very tasty and cooked to perfection but portions were a little smaller than I would have expected for the cost. Wine perfect. Overall very good and we will be visiting again.

Lovely, tasty food. Good and busy for a Wednesday - maybe helped with 50% off mains at the mo. Food good and fresh and hot. Excellent atmosphere and obliging waiting staff.

Classic gem in the centre of Solihull.

Food was ok, however disappointed in the service, my partner asked for a drink was told they didn't have any then on the table behind proceded to serve them the same drink ?

Lunchtime food was edible but over priced, lasagne was overcooked, goats cheese pizza was ok, no Parmesan offered by waiter. Wanted lime and soda to drink, told no lime, requested black current, told there was none and was offered still or sparkling water. I asked what flavor of Pellegrino were on offer, was told only water and proceeded to be served a 750ml bottle for 1 person and then watched the same waiter 15 minutes later serve the table behind me with a can of lemon Pellegrino!!! Toilet facilities clean, dining floor requires regularly cleaning as lots of food over the floor.

My choice on menu not the best choice unfortunately; friends all had mains they were happy with. Recommend Tiramasu dessert. Great waiter service. Good seating, lighting, ambience.

Service was fine, but the food was very mediocre and served on cold plates. Couldn't recommend.

We had a really nice time here last night. Food was lovely and the wine was also very good. The staff were friendly and Marian, our waiter was excellent. He was attentive, very pleasant and also informative. He really did go above and beyond to ensure that we had a great night.

One of my favourite restaurants on High Street. I highly recommend it: delicious food and outstanding service! Is always a pleasure to return to this beautiful Italian restaurant.

Good food, service was friendly enough, but just so fast, in and out in 45 minutes... No wonder it wasn't busy

Disappointing meal and service. Chicken Caesar salad was mediocre and the carbonara pizza was like an omelette on a pizza base as it required more cheese and lacked any flavour and seasoning. Table service was poor. No napkins given. Bread basket was poor. Would not recommend

Family group of us came here for a birthday celebration. Food was as expected at a ‘chain’ restaurant and service was very attentive.

This is like a lot of the chains under the brand of a highly rated chef in that the food doesn’t match up to expectations. The service was friendly and efficient but my chicken saltimbocca was nothing special. In my experience, there’s better independent Italians around

The staff are fantastic and the food was the same. Excellent venue, immaculate standards. We had the lasagna and the fish. Zero complaints, we're regulars at the Stratford venue and now this one too. Try either, you won't be disappointed

I was quite disappointed with my experience here. My pasta dish came 15 minutes after my husbands pizza and I only had two small pieces of beef in it. I asked for a £23 bottle of wine and when they gave us the bill, they'd given us a £28 bottle.

Our first visit at Carluccio's and we will definitely go back! Food was great and fairly priced also arrived quickly. We asked our waitress Kinga for some recommendations and we weren't disappointed! Burrata, tuna tatar and antipasto board was amazing. For main course we had sirloin steak with mushroom sauce, real carbonara, grilled tuna steak and couple of side dishes. Everything was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend! Desserts are to die for, we had ordered warm brownie with ice cream, chocolate fondant and affogato, all of them were delicious 😋 All of the staff were friendly and professional. We will return! 😊

I and 7 of my friends came into Carluccio's last night for a meal and some drinks, our drink and food orders were taken quickly. The 3 course meal was very tasty and despite the fact the restaurant was full our food was not delayed and bought out fast. Ali and Pavlin took care of the table well; impeccable service. 100% would visit again!

Super service. Thanks to our lovely waitress Kinga for looking after us and recommending such a lovely dishes .We had burrata-prosciutto and tuna tartare fallowed by our main courses pappardelle beef and tuna steak .The meal was to die for it. We really enjoyed .Definitely coming back.

Visited for a dinner with couple of friends. Service was outstanding! Very efficient, friendly and always happy to help. Antipasto board was amazing 😍 Then we had risotto do mare, couple of pizzas, sea bass and tuna salad. For a dessert I had a Nutella cheesecake which was melting in my mouth and Irish coffee. All of us left full and happy😊 Everything was fresh and tasty. We will definitely return. Thank You Carluccio's! ❤️

Excelente comida y servicio recibido durante nuestra cena con unos amigos. El menú nos transportó a Italia en un momento y el servicio y trato proporcionado por nuestro camarero Dan fue de 10. Volveremos definitivamente.

Best place in Solihull High street. Tasty Italian food made by such a nice chef!! Had a great time!

We visited on Junne 14th for lunch. As a regular visitor I had received an email offering 20% off. We checked before ordering and were told we could not use this with the lunch deal. But it would apply to the drinks. We ordered from the meal deal (3 courses) and shared 2 bottles of wine. This was a celebration lunch. When the bill arrived there was no discount on the wine...the waiter looked embarrassed & we asked for the Manager. I won't name her here but she was so very rude and denied this had been said. She said 'we are intelligent people' referring to herself and the waiter. Well all 3 of us are professionals too. The upshot...she charged us full price for the lunch meal courses and the wine...the discount...brought the meal down to what we would have paid full price for the food, however we were served the 'meal deal' food. I'm posting now as I have been asked to return with friends and scrolling through the reviews I am very disappointed. It obviously is not only myself that has been spoken to this way. Shame on you Carluccious! Solihull deserves better!

Firstly they got one of the orders completely wrong which had to be changed. The one that was correct was served on a stone cold plate making the food cold very quickly. When the other meal finally arrived that was again on a cold plate. The service was exceedingly friendly but not helpful. Not happy at all.

Really bad first time (and last) visit. Firstly they got one of the orders completely wrong which had to be changed. The one that was correct was served on a stone cold plate making the food cold very quickly. When the other meal finally arrived that was again on a cold plate. The service was exceedingly friendly but not helpful. Not happy at all.

I am totaly in love with this place. The food is so good and the service top. My favourite restaurant in Solihull!

I felt great …. And the personal are great….i recommend this place…. For all of you which want to come here I highly recommend.

Lovely staff and tasty food. I’ve been here for dinner and I was impressed. I have the best experience ever. Thank you for everything!

I went with my family in vacation and discovered this restaurant. The food is very good and seems to be fresh. Also the staff is very nice. I truly recomand it

Food was excellant, staff very polite ,however the wait for food was too long !

Went in for what we thought would be a quick lunch during a shopping trip in Solihull. Ordered food making it quite clear that one meal would have to be gluten free, a pasta meal was recommended and subsequently ordered. We asked for a jug...

Food was delicious, we tried things off the new menu and had things that Dan recommended too, everyone loved the food especially my mom who’s very hard to please! Joanna, Val and Dan looked after us, Tommy the chef thank-you to all - would definitely recommend! Try the trio of desserts!

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, thank you
