In a magnificent glass-fronted setting, Carluccio’s Caffe Spinningfields serves traditional Italian delicacies in a clean, crisp setting. Overlooking the expanse of Hardman Square, relaxed al fresco dining is offered during summer.

With produce sourced directly from Italy, robust flavours and sublimely fresh ingredients make up the varied Carluccio’s menu.

As well as ample choice for vegetarians, family-friendly Carluccio’s restaurant offers a fun children’s menu.

The on-site shop at Carluccio’s Spinningfields offers a colourful selection of treats to take home. Tempting buys include the finest oils, freshly baked breads and sweet pastries.

                    Comments about this restaurant :

                    The service was good but the food was pretty average at best.
                    Four of us ate and there was only 1 decent starter and main course between the four of us. Dessert was probably the highlight...though that was after having to make a third choice as they were out of our first two choices!

                          Very good food and location just need to sharpen up on one or two areas - the air conditioning was too high making it cold, our table for a group of six was directly in line with main door creating terrible and uncomfortable draught when opened [...] But overall was very good evening

It was pretty cold in there and the staff didnt notice that everyone was wrapped up in scarfs etc - mind you it was -8 outside - other than that really good and highly recommend it!!!
