Carlotta London Reviews
Average food in a buzzy atmosphere
1-Dec-22: Visited as a party of 4 on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was busy and buzzy and waiting staff were friendly. Food was OK, nothing special but nothing bad. My carbonara served from the parmesan wheel was a bit of fun.
Italian meal by River Thames
We made a reservation for this restaurant for an early mid-week dinner, but that was hardly necessary as the place was nearly totally empty. But the service was very good and the classic Italian dishes were tasty and good value. Being right on the River Thames, it has great views. Had we come later in the evening, it would likely be very busy
No ambiance, decent food
Location was nice but the restaurant lacked an ambiance, there was simply no soul in the place. Food was reasonably good and the service was very friendly and attentive. I just really missed a nice atmosphere. It was also quite empty for a Friday night so clearly we are not alone missing an ambiance.
Grossly over priced, very poor food.
Let’s start with the positive because there was a positive. The service was fine - courteous, polite and efficient. It ain’t their fault. It’s the people behind the scenes. The food was mediocre at best and mostly very poor indeed. A carpaccio starter was over salted and unnecessarily garnished with fussiness which overpowered the taste of the octopus. Other bruschetta starters could have come out of polythene, absolutely no character. Substance alone. My main dish of seafood linguine was, frankly, pitiful. It’s hard to believe a professional chef would own it. I’d have apologised to my kids and I’m no chef. To be fair, one of our party of four found the risotto ‘nice’. Desserts were, again, completely lacking in character. Of no distinction whatsoever. The cruncher, however, was the bill. £239 for four. We were out for a London lunch so prepared to pay for it but for food of that quality. Outrageous. Will we be back? Probably not.
Enjoyable
Beautiful location, favourite in London. I hadn’t been here for years. We had a lovely meal with great, friendly service. My husband had the carbonara served in the pecorino wheel which he really enjoyed. The porchetta was also tasty and a far bigger portion than first thought. The menu isn’t that extensive, particularly for an Italian, but we found it very reasonable for Central London A bonus for us (appreciate not all), is that it’s dog friendly (smallish dogs). Will return
Good quality food
Very tasty food with great service. Definitely recommend the carbonara. This restaurant is more of a high end Italian than generic and doesn’t serve pizzas. Lovely setting in London with the tower bridge as a backdrop. There is an option for outdoor seating for the summer.
Very poor food at a restaurant with a great view. Disappointing.
Toast on bruschetta was burnt, and so left a nasty taste. My partners beef main was utterly tasteless and unseasoned and dry. My main was totally underwhelming. for the price of the food, you would be better off at a quality gastro pub. I felt ripped off to be honest. Wine was nice.
Family dinner
Choose the restaurant because of the OpenTable meal deal as every other deal we have used from them has been great. Whilst the food was nice, it was nothing special or didn't really seem as authentic as it could have been. I appreciate that the cost was kept slightly down by some of us choosing from the set menu, but the portion sizes were small and in hindsight I wish I knew that before we ordered because the I think I would have left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied after paying a £300 bill and wanting to go for a coffee and cake somewhere. When we ordered from the set menu which included a glass of prosecco, this was not forthcoming and I had to bring the confirmation email up to ask if the meal deal still applied. In every other restaurant we have are in has similar deals that is actually the first thing the waiter brings. Although enjoyed catching up with family after 9 years, I wish I had of chosen somewhere else. It would be far more beneficial if your increase your portion sizes to attract returning customers, instead of every dish - start, main and dessert were the same small size. I only took pictures of two of the starters because the main was uneventful. Even though the food was nice, when you looked at size of the tomotatoes and mozzarella straight from the main it was significantly better.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Carlotta London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Carlotta London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Carlotta London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Carlotta London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
