Overall Rating
Excellent
Carluccio's in Cambridge, situated in the heart of the city, is an Italian restaurant and delicatessen with good wheelchair access.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There is level access to the restaurant, and the doors were wide enough to accommodate my powered wheelchair. The wooden flooring inside made wheelchair manoeuvring easy, and my wheelchair comfortably fitted at the table, with adequate knee room.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Carluccio's is situated between Cambridge's Grand Arcade shopping centre and Fisher Square. There is accessible parking for blue badge holders in the Grand Arcade multi-storey car park, and limited on-street disabled parking bays nearby in the city centre. Most buses into Cambridge city centre are accessible; the nearest bus stops are situated at the other end of the Grand Arcade, on St Andrew's Street.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
There is one accessible toilet within the restaurant, with a wide door. The toilet is of a good height, with a fixed rail on the right-hand side and a drop-down rail on the left, with space for side transfer. The toilet is fairly small, and access might be difficult at times when the restaurant was busy, as there is a table positioned close to the toilet door, though this was not in use when we visited.
Staff
Excellent
Staff were attentive, helpful and polite.
Additional Information
Good food with good access; a great accessible place to eat in the city centre.
