Carluccio's is an Italian restaurant chain founded in London in 1999.

History

In 1991, Antonio Carluccio and his then wife opened an Italian food shop, named Carluccio's.[1][2]

In 1999, the first "Carluccio's Caffè" was opened[2] in Market Place, London. The chain expanded, initially across southeast England, and subsequently across the UK. In 2005, Carluccio's listed on the Alternative Investment Market as a PLC. In 2010 the company received a takeover offer from the Landmark Group, a Dubai-based enterprise, valuing Carluccio's at £90m. The transaction was approved by the shareholders and completed in October 2010.[3]

In March 2018, Carluccios brought in KPMG for financial advice for possible options due to high costs and increased competition within the industry.[4]
