We only ordered scrambled egg on toast with mushrooms, half an hour wait and not even busy. Chased food as waiting for a train, waitress less than helpful. Food arrived, mushrooms cold, egg hot, toast tiny! Not good value, complaint not well received - no apology for delay. In fact, she was fairly argumentative too.. Didn't eat the food, paid only for the coffee. Would never return.

Great pre eurostar breakfast. Avo eggs and salmon and scrambled eggs were both great. Chefs dipak and lucien are brilliant. Great service from Mia, Genci and Eddie

This used to be a favourite spot, but it seems to have gone a bit downhill now. Some staff are sullen and not interested. Basics not ready. The food is fine, but no parmesan or pepper offered.

I've never been to a Carluccio's before and was not sure what to expect. I ordered a Seafood Linguine and was pleasantly surprised; the squid and prawns were tender and not chewy. My companion enjoyed their Chicken Saltimbocca, though the chicken was on the small side. The service was fairly decent, reasonably quick for lunchtime on a Sunday. Kudos to the attentive server who had a Jean Reno-esque look. My only nit about the whole experience is that the thick, tough stems on the Tenderstem Broccoli were not cut off.

Late night arrival ahead of an early eurostar trip the next morning Disneyland Paris ✨️ Orlando well and truly kicked off the magic of our trip with his Italian charm and fantastic service. He guided us through the menu to new delicious discoveries through his authentic recommendations! Deffo recommend the spinach signature penne, arancini and bread & butter pudding. Orlando strongly recommended the calzone all'nutella too for another time! We will be back ☺️ Great choice for a pre/post eurostar breakfast lunch or dinner.

Food was actually quite nice, let down somewhat by mediocre service. Seated quickly but then nothing for what seemed an age. They had run out of tomato sauce for the burger and getting mayonnaise was a struggle. A shame as it could very easily be a great experience. The automatic addition of a 12.5% service charge seemed to be pushing it under the circumstances.

The location of restaurant was great and had view to trains and the beautiful status in the level 2 of St pancras station. I ordered the chicken Milanese burger, the burger came with fries. The taste was fine and the fries were crispy.

The menu is reduced compared to a normal Carluccio's, but this is understandable since it is a station restaurant. Delicious pizzas and very pretty interior

I haven’t tried many dishes due to my service experience, which made me leave sooner than I intended. I only had one cocktail and one small plate. I almost left before my order was prepared, but I didn’t want to waste the effort, which I somewhat regret. The food and drink were nice, and I can’t complain about that. However, the service was unexpected and disappointing. There was only one other table occupied, and I can't help but wonder if my casual attire made a difference. Perhaps I looked unassuming and not like a spender? When I entered the restaurant from the station side, no one acknowledged me. I was left to find a table on my own, and when I asked a waiter, he simply told me I could sit anywhere. It’s worth repeating that there was only one other table occupied, yet both the manager and the waiter seemed focused solely on that table. The manager didn’t even notice that there was another table in need of attention. It took a long time to receive menus, and the way the waiter communicated with me made me feel unwelcome, as if I were a burden. I hadn’t even finished my food and drink when the waiter abruptly handed me the bill and left immediately. This was very impolite and rude. Overall, it was the worst service experience I’ve had.

Such a shame and not sure what's happened but this place is not what it once was. You could previously head in for a rapid pasta before catching a train. Now, the place is pretty empty and yet the kitchen still does not get the ticket so you don't get your food. A crying shame :-(

We paid £64 for 2 adults and 1 toddler. We only had a main meal of pasta and a drink for the adults and cheesy pasta for our kid. The food was really tasteless - I could not force myself to finish it. It truly was one of the worst pasta meals I’ve had (we didn’t expect anything impressive as knew it’s a chain). The location is lovely. I would say good for a drink pre train. Not food.

Very disappointing. Had 90 minutes before my train which I thought was plenty of time. Food served 70 minutes after arriving! Then 1 out of the 3 was the wrong order, we asked for diary free but got gluten free. Then had to wait another 10 minutes. I had to leave to catch my train and was unable to finish the meal. The sparkling water was warm and they had no ice, so they provided some what appeared to be ice scrapings from the freezer. They forgot about the bread selection starter. The restaurant was very quiet, so not quite sure why the service was so poor.

Food was nice enough but small portion size for the price. They have cut back on the menu so my friend was unable to get her favourite lemon dessert. We asked for water and to see the dessert menu but had to ask again over 20 minutes later, guessing they forgot.

Avoid. I was sat at a dirty table, then ignored for 10 minutes so I walked out. Context: I asked if I could sit inside, waiter said yes. There were other customers already inside. I asked if I could sit at the back, the assistant manager said yes. Table was used, so manager removed some empty glasses off the table but didn’t clean spills/crumbs, didn’t bring a menu, didn’t come back. I stared at all the staff, for 10mins. A waitress was cleaning cutlery at her station. The general manager was stood at the till. I was near the kitchen door that staff came in and out of. I’d say the whole place was 20% capacity? Not busy.

I decided to stop for some food while waiting for my train, this is a decision I now deeply regret. Despite being a solo diner and simply wanting to order a dessert, it took nearly 20 minutes for someone to take my order. It was frustrating to see other guests who were seated after me already being served their drinks while I hadn't even been able to place my order... Fortunately, I did not have to endure an additional wait for the dessert menu, as I had already made my selection before arriving at the restaurant. When my food arrived, the pastry was lukewarm. The presentation was lovely, but the portion size did not justify the price. No one checked if everything was alright with my meal, even after I had finished. It was then an incredible challenge to receive my bill. The waiters seemed to avoid making eye contact, so it took a while to even be able to ask for it. Even after asking multiple servers, it took another 25 minutes for the bill to arrive. It was frustrating to feel neglected, and it seemed like other customers were receiving better service. To make matters worse, the card machine stopped working when I finally received the bill. Granted, this is not the restaurant's fault, but it undeniably adds to what was already a long list of negatives about my experience. Overall, the dessert was satisfactory; however, it failed to compensate for the subpar dining experience. I perceived a lack of hospitality and deeply regretted having spent money and time in an effort to utilize my time well while awaiting my train.

Arrived as a planned visit, before a train journey. We had to find a waiter, we were pointed in the direction of where we could sit then told the table we chose was reserved so we might have to move. We were then put under a over head air heater which was unbearable so moved our selves. After been given menu s we waited 20 minutes, we placed our orders, at that point we were told No fish or steak, we ordered seafood as a second choice and wax told no mussels, we said we take it with out, The starters were nice except the brocetta had cherry tomatoes cut in half , basically tomatoes on toast. The main courses were over loaded with squid and 3 prawns each . The risotto was garnished with a cremated Mediterranean prawn , At no time did anyone ask if the meal was ok and it clearly wasn't as I left mine and so did my husband. The desert menus were placed on our table without any interaction and we had to ask for our bill as no-one came back, other customers were heard muttering dissatisfaction,. Our bill was £89 98 we left without saying anything as they were uninterested, if the bar person cracked a smile it may have caused her a injury, will never go there again

The starters were good and came very quickly. There was then a long wait.One main when it came was cold..even after sending back to the kitchen it was only warm. The other main course..chicken milanese was dry and overcooked. On this showing it is unlikely we will repeat the experience.

Some highlights (squid starter, antipasti starter, and spaghetti carbonara) and staff very pleasant but let down on several fronts eg stone cold sauce served with confit duck; wine choice not available; scale encrusted wine glass and water jug; door to toilets straight opposite stuck in open position;refusal (later redacted by manager) to serve 125ml wine . All raised at the time, but nothing offered on bill to compensate, and standard service charge added automatically. Chocolate fondant had nice sauce but was a bit rubbery. Overall rather disappointed.

Carluccios used to be a cut above the other chain pasta restaurants but I had seafood linguini which was not very good made with frozen seafood. My friend had carbonara and she also was not impressed. We shared a starter of calamari which was OK. We had a few drinks and the bill was quite expensive for what we had. I think this was my last visit to Carluccios which is quite sad as I have previously eaten in this restaurant at many locations across London over the years

I used to go regularly to this restaurant a few years ago when I travelled a lot for my work so I felt confident to be able to impress 3 visitors from Brazil, but it seems to be a completely different place with a different and uninspiring menu. One guest just ordered a soup (which lacked seasoning), two others ordered pasta, both of which arrived very dry and almost without any sauce. One guest ordered Penne Regina but they gave her Penne Giardineira. But the worst was my dish - Chicken Saltimboca. When it arrived the top was dried out and looked as if it had been re-heated under a grill. The small piece of chicken had been flattened to about 1 cm (this was not an escalope!) It was overcooked, dry, tough and tasteless. The Parma ham was just a tiny dried up piece on top of the chicken There was also almost no sauce which was watery and tasteless. I sent this feedback to the restaurant twice and never received any answer. I will definitely never go back there again.

Starters were nice, main courses extremely underwhelming. The ambience in St Pancras station with people queuing to board trains leaves something to be desired. I used to love Carluccio’s. Unfortunately, at least this one seems to have lost its edge. And it wasn’t even that cheap: 2 cocktails, 2 starters, 2 mains and the cheapest bottle of wine- around £60 per head with service. For a bit more you can eat extremely well in any number of restaurants in London.

It wasn't busy, and the staff were pleasant and welcoming. And there ends the positive review. And although it wasn't busy, we were seated on a 2-seat no more than 6 inches from another 2-seat table, where we could hear every word of the conversation (and presuably they ours..) My lunch friend's salad looked good and was pronounced so, my carbonara was very disappointing though: burnt pancetta, a lack of seasoning (and apparently also parmesan), and too much pasta water making a runny sauce. Would not order this dish again.. And my absolute pet hate: a 'compulsory' 12.5% service charge on the bill, plus the words 'Service charge not included' Which is it? (I would have voluntarily paid neither..)

That place had no spaces at the time/day we tried to book.

We went here because we were in a group with children. Carluccios is perfect for that and, be advised, families come here in droves. It's just a shame how over the years the good just gets worse and worse. Entirely lacking in any flavor and, in the case of my chicken Milanese, burnt and overcooked in stale cooking oil. Really disgusting sorry. Not good enough. Never again

We were there on NYE so I wasn't expecting much for the atmosphere, seeing as most people would probably be in bars. However the staff obviously wanted to be out as quick as possible which didn't add anything to the general dryness. Staff were nice but the waiter had NO idea what was in each dish, he couldn't even tell me the difference between a mixed and green salad! I had a vegan pasta dish which I enjoyed. Friends had a tuna steak and something else I can't remember and said they weren't great. Disappointing for Carluccios, perhaps it was a bad night!

We had a family Christmas gathering here just after Christmas. You wouldn't have known it was Christmas because there were no decorations up so it didn't feel Christmassy at all. There was a Christmas menu. I had the spaghetti carbonara but it wasn't very nice. The bits of bacon were over cooked and far too crispy and hard. We had to wait nearly an hour before we even got our first drinks. We were brought our starters before we'd even got our drinks. The child's portion looked much more appetising and bigger than our adult food. Prosecco was nice. Only one toilet in use too, so had to wait.

Staff lovely but this chain has gone from really good to really bad since it had a new owner. Carluccio's used to have delicious vegetable dishes and starters (eg aubergine stew was so tasty). Today my choice of food as a real vegetarian was so limited. The starter was a joke. I chose a nut pesto and bread selection. I was given a tiny bowl of sliced salted maybe cashew nuts with dried ?pesto flakes on top - I could have bought myself a large packet of salted nuts for less. Even worse was the bread - a few bread sticks, two slices of stale white bread, two small pieces of state focaccia bread. I will never return until it honours its founder's wonderful Italian food and menu again.

Shockingly, glasses were filthy! Beer glass with cloudy deposit, wine glass with lipstick still on it. When the glasses, and wine, were replaced it was without a word of apology. Carluccio should either take a greater interest in this place or remove his name from it. Clearly, this place caters predominantly to transient customers and doesn’t feel the need to maintain standards. The food was average, the waitress tried to be helpful and was very willing to be accommodating, it’s the management which needs to sharpen up.

This place has gone downhill.. Looks like the private equity group that has bought Carluccio’s has implemented cost saving measures that make the whole experience cheap and tacky. Potatoes were cooked from frozen as probably many other things, totally cold in the middle. Soup came out cold. Starters all came out different times in a group of 6, so food getting more cold so we could eat together. The lobster and crab tortellini tasted like cheap frozen rubbish.. couldn’t even taste crab to be honest. I also caught a mouthful of what felt like sand or some sediment as it grinded in my teeth. The restaurant had run out of so many items which were on the menu, including no orange slices or orange juice, no vanilla ice cream, no limes.. cheap cost saving operational issues from higher management perhaps? On top of this, the doors were kept open on a really cold day which meant an awful draft of cold air constantly, which is not really a pleasant experience on top of cold frozen food.. Furthermore faulty flickering overhead lights were extremely annoying, and a broken toilet… simple things like this would of been repaired years ago, but now the cheap cost saving owners don’t care to do even the simple things.. It’s a shame, Carluccio’s used to be our family gathering restaurant.. never again now. Clearly it’s had it’s time. Shame really.

I always thought Carluccio's was slightly higher quality than the average Italian chain. How wrong I was! This one in St Pancras station was appalling. There was zero atmosphere inside - it felt more like a cafe. The food was terrible - dry, not fresh & poorly presented. One of the toilets was out of order so only one for every one to use and it was in a disgusting state - toilets are better on the train than this one. Service was ok - that was about the only positive thing to say. That has put me off Carluccio's for good!

Ate here last night. Although very busy, we were dealt with efiiciently and attentively. Sea bass and seafood risotto both delicious. A word for the raspberry sorbet - out of this world!

Great quick dinner before heading onto my hotel. Food was superb. Was very well looked after by Orlando who was such a lovely man and helped our selection in both food and wine. Thank you & I will be back

I booked a table for six of us, we arrived and were shown to our table- the decor and ambience was little more than a basic cafe. Starters were very good, mains not so good- we ordered from the set menu, £18 for 2 courses- the linguine wasn't linguine it was spaghetti served with very little Bolognese, the mussels were barely warm and I had to ask for the focaccia bread- which when it came was cold but must have been buttered whilst hot but this had now crusted over, there was no call back to the table to check if we were enjoying our food- the £18.38p service charge was ridiculous!! Paying in cash seemed a problem as the waitress didn't want too much change!! I'd mentioned on the online booking form that we were celebrating 3 special birthdays- don't go there to celebrate anything- it was a totally uninspiring experience- we chose to go to pret a porter in Kings Cross for coffee before getting our train home and found it had a warmer ambience- so that just says it all!! What a disappointment!! My first -and last experience of eating at Carluccios - poor Antonio will be spinning in his grave!!

I’ve always associated Carluccio‘s with quality in the past. I was disappointed to find that nowadays that isn’t true. Staff were extremely lacking in care and attention so we leftvery disappointed without ordering anything after waiting for almost 10 minutes

Carluccio's used to be great bur this was way below expectations. Slow service, food that tastes stale or 'heated up' and very noisy. Not a good place to relax and, in order to get attention, I needed to get up and ask. First world problems...

This place used to be good. Mr Carluccio will be spinning in his grave. Dirty wines glasses. Wine served, hands grappling rim of glass. Classic Carbonnara and Beef ragu pasta ordered. Plates served to the middle of the table and not in front of us. Both disgusting. Beef hard. Carbonara luke warm, dry with some sort of pork cracking type topping. Expressed disappointment to manager who seemed somewhat in denial. Left without paying. The ever-decreasing standards of London cuisine.

Food was ok, had the duck and ragu. The duck was tasty and a good size. The ragu was mainly pasta, very little meat, was disappointed. Asked for the bill, waiter showed a folded invoice displaying the items we ordered and each cost, then flipped...

Top tip: Eat on the train instead of Carluccios. This branch of Carluccios could give British Rail a tip or two about how to make a miserable time even more miserable. Terrible food. Indifferent service. Eye watering prices for what's received.

We had a fabulous lunch yesterday, under the heaters on the concourse. Massive fun, great food, wine all swiftly served, and as the waiter agreed, no calories in the pud. We friends 'who lunch' will meet there again, coming from as far away as North Yorkshire and others closer to London. Thank you, thank you. A great time.

Ordered takeaway from the St Pancras branch. Excellent customer care, attention to detail from Asli (hope that spelling is correct) would highly recommend

Let’s start out positive the location is convenient. After that I am sorry it all goes downhill badly. The food was extremely disappointing lacking flavor and seasoning. The chili prawn appetizers were passable but we have all agreed had better, focaccia bread was stale and...

Came here for works dinner, there was 15 of us so big group, the service was so slow, in the space of two hours we was there all we had was 2 rounds of drinks and mains. Ordering rounds of drinks was painfully slow, you think they would want to get the drinks out quickly so your more likely to drink more and spend more money.. when the mains came out they messed up the steak orders resulting in one of the steaks got completely missed, so while everyone pretty much finished their mains, the missing steak finally came out. The food was actually nice so give credit when due.. but the service was shambles..

Ici tout est différent du Carluccio que j’aimais tant place saint Christopher. Je prends toujours la même chose et je sais aussi le cuisiner car Carluccio a eut la gentillesse de partager sa recette. Les pâtes giardinera mais ici le beurre manque avant c’était très généreux, la taille des boulettes a été divisée par 3 ça manque vraiment pour finir le plat. Les courgettes et les pâtes un peu trop cuites, j’adorais manger ce plat ici mais je me rend compte qu’aujourd’hui je fais mieux que le chef du restaurant de saint pancras… très dommage. L’antipasti avec charcuterie et olive, légumes grillés mon second best, ou est passé la foccacia qui était si gourmande, les olives aussi sont très décevantes bref le plat à perdu de sa superbe. Je suis super déçue, je ne sais pas si c’est propre à ce restaurant ou si c’est le cas dans tous les Carluccio, ou si c’est celui de saint Christopher place qui a fermé qui était bien mieux que tous les autres. En attendant pour moi c’est la fin d’une belle aventure. Je ne retournerai plus à la gare et les autres ne sont pas assez au centre de Londres pour faire le trajet seulement pour me rendre à ce restaurant.

We had a train to catch in just over an hour and Orlando went out of his way to ensure we ate in plenty of time and had enough time for a second glass of wine after dinner. A genuine, friendly, great person. Until next...

First time visit for breakfast and when we arrived, the restaurant was all but empty and although there were about 5/6 staff, it still took a while for someone to take our order. The bar person made our drinks and it sat on the bar...

Vi hade en fantastisk upplevelse på denna restaurang! Servicen var enastående och personalen var otroligt trevliga. Min son sa att det var den bästa hamburgaren han någonsin ätit, och min sambo beskrev maten som världsklass. Min Caesar-sallad var supergod, och min dotter älskade pastan. Vinet var utsökt, och atmosfären var lugn och skön, trots att vi var precis vid tågen – inte ett dugg bullrigt. Vi ger restaurangen 5 stjärnor! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice pub up the slope, away from the station a bit. Didn't get to eat here unfortunately. Enjoyed a couple of drinks - good selection of beers and ales on tap; selection of whiskies too. RECOMMEND.

Statene lontani. Oltre 1 ora e 20 per un’ordinazione. Alle ripetute sollecitazione hanno parlato un primo piatto dopo 45 minuti in secondo piatto dopo un’ora e il terzo piatto. Hanno fatto qualche mistakes ma non ci sono giustificazioni
