The food is variable - sometimes the Penne Giardiniera (the courgettes and spinach balls one) is super tasty with a solid hit of chilli, and sometimes it's just sloppy and stodgy. <br /><br />Sadly, an example of a London chain that has simply overextended itself. Unfortunately I have to say the same for Gourmet Burger Kitchen - fab in W Hampstead, shockingly bad (burnt chips, overcooked burger) at the Brunswick Centre (WC1).carlytimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361356857716274194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391327263157747503.post-92208603147835838032009-05-24T22:20:02.676+01:002009-05-24T22:20:02.676+01:00Windsor branch ...

Surely they must realise people have planes to catch?? Sorry! Enough ranting. Needless to say I'm not a big fan of Carluccio's either :)canelvrhttp://canelvr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
