The food was absolutely delicious!! Never eaten better steak! We ordered the flank steak with arugula for two to share. I highly recommend that menu item. Ricardo, our server was the best, very courteous and prompt. And the manager, Logan, was great – we stayed past closing time until 11.30pm and no one tried to hurry us out of there.

The menu looked promising (although too much pork in items for our liking. Other items seemed creatively intriguing). We sat outside as the weather was beautiful and the seating inside was too cold. The restaurant really isn’t suited for outdoor seating; we had a not-so-beautiful view of the parking garage. The service was inattentive and slow. It took 3 (long) times to get enough menus for our table. Water was served in tiny glasses and tasted like it came from a pool. We had a question about the menu and it took so long for the server to return that we ended up getting up and leaving (not something I ever do). There are lots of competing restaurants in this new area. I can’t imgine that Carluccio’s will be able to survive if other people have the same experience we did.

My friend and I went in on a dreary early Saturday evening two weeks ago. The place was empty, the hostess asked if we had a reservation as if we needed one. We were seated and our server asked if we’d like to have some of their focaccia bread to start and he mentioned they had marinated olives, but that he wouldn’t recommend them. I thought, wow that’s a strange thing to say. I asked about their wine selection and was told they were out of all of their “good” red wines, but he suggested some others I may like, which were the remaining wines on the list. Not a good sign for a restaurant that just opened and especially on a Saturday night when they’d most likely have more customers coming in.
My friend ordered a vodka tonic and was asked if she’d like ice in it. While a strange thing to ask, the server was very young and this could have very well be his first gig.
We ordered the caprese bites to start and they were 4 tiny skewers of very salty mozzarella and tomatoes. I would pass on these, not worth the $9.
I had the peperoni e caprino salad with chicken and it was just ok. I would’ve liked the chicken to have been warm and not cold. My friend had the ravioli and again it was just ok.
I’m not a “foodie” nor do I typically write reviews, but I just felt this place wasn’t up to par with the neighboring restaurants. If you’re looking for Italian, you’d probably be better off going to Brio down the street, but if you’re looking for high quality service and great food in the Pike and Rose area, go to Santa Monica.

I really don’t recommend this restaurant unless you enjoy bland, overcooked and over priced food.
The two stars were earned by the drinks and the good service.
Our waitress was very nice and did everything very well.
The mixed drinks were the most delicious part of our meal, perhaps a good spot for happy hour?

Great pasta! Love the ability to get custom orders of prosciuttos and salamis for appetizers. Best dish is the penne luganica. Wine by the glass is a great price for the area too! We also get take out from here a lot and super easy with the free parking next door.

Carluccio’s is a new Italian restaurant that just opened up at Pike and Rose. I’ve tried a few of their pasta entrees and all were pretty good and inexpensive.
The Caponata is an interesting tasting appetizer. It’s described as a sweet and sour eggplant stew, but its basically a cold dip.
The Pasta con Funghi (mushroom pasta) was a delicious pasta! It had a generous amount of mixed mushrooms and the pappardelle pasta was cooked to perfection. The Linguine al Frutti di Mare (seafood linguine) was a little light in flavor and the mussels, squid, and clam were really small. I enjoyed it, but I don’t think I’ll order it again. The Penne Giardiniera is my favorite of the three pastas I’ve tried. The sauce had shredded zucchini, garlic, and parmesan topped with fried spinach balls. It was a very tasty dish!
For dessert, I tried the Pasticcio di Cioccolata (Chocolate Bread Pudding) and the Panna Cotta. The bread pudding was good, but a little expensive for the small slice you’re getting. I didn’t like that it had raisins.
I like the ambiance of the place. Service was excellent and very friendly! Several people came to check up on us, but not in an annoying way.
They have a mini market on the side where they sell desserts, ready-to-eat food, cheese, and prosciutto. They also sell dried pasta and other goods.
The restaurant is kind of hidden. It’s behind Summer House Santa Monica and across from the new garage. First two hours of parking in the garage is free. Parking is also free in the lot where Chipotle is. It’s only a short walk.

Bad service and food was even worst. Ordered a steak waitress couldn’t tell men the cut of meat I had to look it up. The steak tasted like they dropped it ashes of charcoal. Seven people one bottle of water. Two different beers took forever to tell us they didn’t have them. I would eat
fast food first.
