The sound of happy chatter and the scraping of plates welcomes guests entering Carluccio's in Oxford. Combining the charm of a traditional Italian Trattoria with cutting edge Mediterranean cuisine, Carluccio's are renowned for their inclusive and family-friendly atmosphere.

Founded by Antonio Carluccio who is well known for his mouth-watering Italian recipes and thoughtful approach to meals centring around socialising with friends and family.

True to the Italian culinary tradition, Carluccio's uses the freshest ingredients available, sourced locally and according to seasonal quality. In the kitchen, Carluccio's specially trained chefs use the finest produce to cook and prepare a wonderful array of dishes in an authentic Italian style. The menu is extensive with a wonderful selection of breads, irresistible antipasti dishes and pillow-like gnocchi tossed in vivid sauces are just some of the irresistible treats you can expect to find. Make sure you save some room because a mouth-watering selection of desserts including traditional tiramisu and panacotta bring your meal to a delicious end.

Despite the crisp, fresh décor, more trendy cocktail bar than rustic tavern, the cheery atmosphere and charming staff creates an ambience reminiscent of a homely Italian café. Children are well catered for with their own ‘per i bambini’ menu – complete with colouring pencils! Special events including jazz nights and culinary workshops have made Carluccio's a popular institution amongst Oxford communities. Adjoining the restaurant, find a wonderfully presented deli where you can purchase your own authentic italian ingredients to practice your culinary skills at home.
