Six of us were celebrating our friend’s birthday and we had a great evening at Caldesi. Gianfranco came and walked the floor, talked to the guests, very charming and the food was beautifully prepared and really exceptionally good. But not fussed over. The waiting team were lovely, getting the balance between being attentive and friendly just right. The atmosphere and decor was warm, relaxed and welcoming, just perfect for a great night out with friends. Highly recommend.

Been to Lucianos (Luccios? Carluccios??) a couple of times in the last year and it's a decent place for Italian. The food has been great, with a decent pizza, fantastic beef ragu, and the best carbonara I've graced my tastebuds with the second time. I cannot stress enough, the food is FANTASTIC. Portions could do with a little more, but what I've got thus far has tasted lovely. Both times I've come in the place has been eerily quiet, so either something's up with my timing or the place is just... quiet? Regardless, the service has been timely, albeit mild-mannered, both times which isn't an issue at all. There is a 12.5% service charge stuck on as a heads-up, which you'll find in tiny text at the bottom of the menu. Not a fan of that trend as a whole, as I'd much rather tip good service and good food where it's due. My only complaints are the pricing (which is *STEEP*, especially for Dorset at £50+ for dinner for two) and the fact they took beef ragu off the menu - it was a fantastic dish and taking it off the menu is a crime against humanity. Bring it back! Either way, Luciano's food is fantastic, on the proviso that you aren't the person paying for it... But I don't know if that says more about myself or the restaurant. If the staff were a bit chattier and the British economy wasn't doing an impression of the Titanic (or things were a bit cheaper), I'd give five stars.

My autistic son who struggles wirh confidence issues ended up in tears because he couldn't clip on..he was extremely upset. A male employee came over and he was sympathetic and I asked please could he help my son clip himself ob the wall. He said yea of course. Stood for ten seconds with my son and then walked off for ten minutes! By this time my son was in tears again and we had to leave as had told several staff members he just wanted help being clipped on. I couldn't help him as its safe for me. When I complained the man who had walked off just spoke to me Like crap and tried to blame everything else except himself. Poor. I'm never coming back and I'll be telling other parents not to also.

I had been trying to stop at this venue for a while, but it tends to be very busy on most occasions. The venue is compact but has an exciting appealing decor. It has bright colours and patterns. The cafe is immaculate which enhances its appeal. The service was friendly and speedy. The prices are typical for London, but the quality is great. I had a spiced chai latte that was very nice. My wife had the cake that she adored. Unfortunately, there were no gluten and dairy-free options available. Looking at the menu the main negative is that it does not have many dietary options. However, it is a nice cafe and provides a good place if you can find a seat.

We went to get a takeaway but loved the interior with its genuine large pizza oven combined by the lovely service we were provided by the team there. We will definitely return to ‘eat in ‘ as the place has a lovely ambience and is clearly very popular. The pizza we had was wonderful and was accompanied by some very fresh and tasty tiramisu!

Disappointing! Beef was tough, pork tasteless. Veg, not great. Deserts some good others disappointing. It was for a special occasion which was not. I felt for my family who payed good money for a mediocre meal. Service was good but will not be back.
