   It was a busy midweek lunchtime and things were pretty frantic both out front and in the kitchen but once we were finally seated, our servers were really on it. Food was tasty and we enjoyed our lunch

   A dinner with old friends turned out to be as quick as meeting for a McDonald’s. We arrived at one of the later slots of the night and were told the kitchen would be closing imminently despite us booking ahead online in advance (booked for 7:45). The manager then announced we need to order everything at the start of the meal if we wanted more than one course. I made a decision on the spot as I felt pressured. During the meal we were again asked if we wanted anything else while two of us were still eating. It’s safe to say the whole experience felt rushed. One exception was the waitress who was lovely, it was her manager that made the experience uncomfortable. We were in and out within 35 minutes. Turning us away would have been the better option had we known what would follow. Carluccios is usually a firm choice for a great evening but sadly not this time.

   Ideal to eat here before visiting the Cambridge Corn Exchange which is opposite. Food and service very good.

   I found that often the waiters and waitresses would come to our table and ask the same question that was asked before so there wasn’t a massive amount of communication. However they were very friendly. I found the portion for my mains was small and overly seasoned with herbs. The doughnuts that we got for dessert were also doughy and undercooked- we did get a free tea with them though which was nice. Overall fairly affordable and my friend liked her main but in my opinion it was not the best Italian food I’ve had.
