Carluccio's - Wimbledon

Found this gem upon visiting Wimbledon. We asked the security officer where we could find restaurants. Ended up in town center Wimbledon. This was one of the better looking options. Service was great. Food is good. Inviting and relaxing atmosphere.

I recently visited Carluccio's and, unfortunately, my initial experience wasn't great. We stood at the door for several minutes without any acknowledgment, even though two staff members were in front of us, talking and focusing on the till. Just as we were about to leave, one of them asked us to bear with them for a couple of minutes, which we did. Once seated, he came over, apologized, and explained the lapse in service, which I appreciated. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the food was well presented. While I thought my meal was just okay, my partner thoroughly enjoyed their dish. The dessert, however, was absolutely amazing. I would consider giving Carluccio's a second chance, as I feel it might have been an off day.

Great service and comfortable seats . Had vegetarian option from the brunch menu. Arrived promptly. Good fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. Only downside to the experience was the toilets, dated and a bit grubby.
