Coming from Edmondo Hamburg , Dining at Carlotta was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt completely taken care of — and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible waiter, “the Doctor”! (We’re still laughing about that nickname!) He was absolutely amazing: attentive without being intrusive, warm, funny, and full of fantastic recommendations. The food was spectacular — every dish bursting with flavor and made with so much heart. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, making the entire evening feel special. Thank you, Carlotta (and especially the Doctor!) for a night we’ll be talking about for a long time. We can’t wait to come back!

Carlotta is a very nice restaurant- nice decorations, vibey ambiance and good Italian food. I had come for a birthday celebration, with my family, and really enjoyed the experience. The toilets are also very unique! Would come again! A stand out dish in particular was the starter of Beef Carpaccio- absolutely delicious! For dessert, definitely give the ‘Wedding Cake’ a try.

Our visit to Carlotta in Marylebone was such a treat, from the delicious food to the incredible service from Vincenzo, Damiano, and the entire team. From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The service struck that perfect balance - attentive without being intrusive, warm yet highly professional. The arancini were perfectly crisp on the outside with a flavourful center. The paccheri all’arrabbiata had just the right amount of heat, while the crab & vodka pasta was rich, silky, and absolutely delicious. We finished with the chocolate tart, which was indulgent without being too heavy - just perfect. Beyond the food, what made the lunch truly special was the brilliant team. Every single person working went above and beyond to create an atmosphere that was both lively and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place where everyone contributes to such a seamless experience, but Carlotta has nailed it. We can’t wait to come back!

The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was the real star. Every dish was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the indulgent desserts. The cocktails were also top-notch, beautifully crafted and full of depth. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and put thought into every detail. If you’re looking for a fantastic Italian dining experience in London, Carlotta is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carlota Restaurant in London, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a perfect evening. But what truly made it special was the service, particularly from Alberto, our waiter. Alberto, an incredibly charming and handsome Italian gentleman, made our evening unforgettable. His warm hospitality and expert knowledge of the menu truly stood out. He took the time to recommend some of the best dishes, ensuring we got a taste of the restaurant’s finest offerings. Each recommendation was spot on – from the fresh, flavorful pasta to the delightful desserts. Alberto’s attentiveness and genuine care for our dining experience were evident, making us feel like VIP guests. I highly recommend Carlota Restaurant, not just for the delicious food, but also for the exceptional service provided by Alberto. A perfect blend of great food and excellent hospitality!

Gorgeous atmosphere & design aesthetic from the bar, to the dining room and even bathrooms! We enjoyed lunch here and the waiter was very helpful and energetic. As vegetarians, I was pleased with the selections, like the burrata and arrabbiata. I would highly recommend this spot for lunch or dinner for a special occasion!

This is one of the restaurants where I absolutely love the decor! The owner probably loves collectibles and photography. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner date. I came here around noon on a Monday and was able to walk in without a reservation. I ordered the risotto and green ravioli, I really liked the risotto, and my friend really enjoyed her green ravioli. One dessert my colleague recommended if you come here is the cheesecake it was delicious! Though when my colleague showed me the photo of it, the cheese was much more gooey and melty. Still, overall, I really loved it.
