Carluccio's in Dublin

Very enjoyable lunch with friends. Great food and coffee. Attentive service. Reasonable price for Dublin City center.

Myself and my boyfriend went to Carluccios this evening and it was absolutely delicious, we were sat by the window and got 2 courses for €23, very good value for how fantastic the food was, we got Foccacia and Calamari for starters, Carbonara and Arrabbiata for mains and everything was amazing. As well as the staff being lovely and very attentive. We are very glad we found this place by accident and will definitely be back on purpose!!

Newly upgraded into a plush oasis of calm on busy Dawson Street, the improved menu will bring you back again and again. Service is top notch and it's a total pleasure!

We came to Carluccio's recently for a family dinner. We were sat promptly, and greeted by Justin, one of several friendly waiters. As he informed us that pizza was a new addition, we opted for that. He recommended an excellent one called the picante. If you're a fan of spicy, go for that one! Overall the atmosphere was wonderful given the restaurant was so busy. Would recommend, and if you manage to get Justin, you're in for a good service!

Went for lunch with kids and we all had a fab lunch. Staff were very nice to the kids too.

Food was gorgeous, very authentic Italian... good value, simple food done really well. Pasta portions weren't huge but full of flavour

Portions a little small. Not as high quality as expected. A little more expensive than the value.

Friendly staff, great food and hands down the best pizza I had! Will return to try more of your dishes.

We came here as a group of 4 for dinner on Saturday evening, I had Carluccio's on my list for quite a while! We arrived about 10 minutes before our booking, there was no host at the door/designated area. We stood there for about 10 minutes before another member of staff came over and said the host would be with us shortly. A girl came in and stood in front of us (the area to wait is very small!) But when the host eventually arrived to the desk about 15 minutes later she was greeted and shown to a table first! The host casually walked back toward the door and I actually had to flag their attention as they weren't coming to greet us?! Once we were eventually seated a lovely server came to our table with water and menus. The servers during our meal were all lovely and pleasant but service was very slow. We ordered Bruschetta to start which was lovely, the portion could have been larger, but it was really tasty. I ordered the lasagne and a side of fries which was absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned! The dessert menu wasn't overly impressive, I ordered the mini doughnuts and a coffee (3 very tiny doughnuts - which tasted delicious, but you're kind of paying for the coffee rather than doughnuts!) We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the bill was reasonable for 4 in Dublin City Centre but I was so disappointed in the service! To be left standing at the door with no sign of the host for over 20 minutes, and to have to flag their attention to even be greeted (without an apology for delay!), virtually ignored, is just unacceptable. We couldn't fault the food at all, and were the service not so disappointing I would absolutely return but currently I would not be rushing back or recommending Carluccio's over other locations on this busy street!

Carluccios is consistently good. I love the seafood linguine. Always worth a visit and reasonably priced with nice wine.
