and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Founded by the legendary Italian chef Antonio Carluccio, Carluccio’s has grown from its humble beginnings into a beloved Italian dining institution, staying true to Antonio’s philosophy of simple, honest food inspired by his homeland.
Antonio Carluccio, fondly known as the ‘Godfather of Italian Gastronomy,’ opened the first Carluccio’s in 1999 in London’s Covent Garden with a vision to create an authentic Italian experience. Antonio’s passion for Italian ingredients, especially mushrooms, has inspired many of the restaurant’s signature dishes. As Carluccio’s celebrates its 25th anniversary, we continue to honour Antonio’s legacy by embracing his core belief, ‘MOF MOF’ - minimum of fuss, maximum of flavour!
