Welcome to Carluccio's Italian restaurant in Marriott Maida Vale, found within the Marriott Hotel in northwest London, and just a short walk from Kilburn Park. Bakerloo underground station is also right around the corner, making it easily accessible on foot. The restaurant welcomes guests seven days a week, offering a traditional selection of classic Italian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is thoughtfully designed to cater to a variety of preferences, including options for vegetarians and those following a gluten-free diet. Carluccio’s began in 1991, when Antonio and Priscilla opened their gourmet food shop on Neal Street. Their vision was to introduce London to the highest quality regional Italian cuisine, and since then, the vision has only grown.
At breakfast time, perhaps you'll enjoy some toasted panettone with butter, a selection of three pancakes topped with pancetta and maple syrup, or a delicious pancetta focaccia sandwich. Of course, all the traditional breakfast dishes are on the menu, including a signature vegan option - containing toasted ciabatta with smashed avocado mixed with slow roasted tomatoes and red onion, chargrilled courgette, sautéed potatoes and spinach.
The all-day menu begins with a selection of broad beans, peanuts and cashews coated in a basil pesto, along with the famous pasta crisps in a pesto mayonnaise. For sharing amongst the table, why not order the burrata with 24-month-aged Parma ham, aged balsamic vinegar and pane carasau, or beef and pork meatballs in tomato sauce with toasted Tuscan bread. Mains include pasta classics like seafood linguine and spaghetti carbonara made with guanciale, along with fish dishes of grilled gamberoni and pan-fried tuna steak, a chicken milanese and plenty of delicious side dishes.
