You will have no doubt seen a Carluccio’s pretty much everywhere in the UK, and most likely been a few times too, so you know what to expect. Their branches are all equally pleasant in atmosphere and service, and the food is served in generous portions.
There is a lot to choose from, and they change throughout the year. So I will let you know what I have enjoyed the most:
- Start of with nocellara olives, the verdure plate – a mix of grilled and marinated veggies – and get an extra portion of their deli bread and a bruschetta. I’m assuming you’re sharing
- My absolute favourite pasta ever is their Veganesca Spaghetti, it is so good I have recreated it at home multiple times, and it never tastes quite the same. It is superb!
- Spinaci Tagliatelle Ragu
- Polpette di pane – a delicious vegan take on ‘meat’balls in spaghetti.
I haven’t really tried their desserts, they change the main pieces throughout the year, and have a selection of sorbets you can end your meal with!
I don’t know why, but at first I was surprised at all the vegan options Carluccio’s offered… And their Veganesca is delicious!
