Carluccio's is an Italian restaurant chain founded in London in 1999.
In 1991, Antonio Carluccio and his then wife opened an Italian food shop, named Carluccio's. They expanded this in 1994 to a wholesale business. Carluccio himself continued to have involvement with the business until his death in 2017.
In 1999, the first "Carluccio's Caffè" was opened 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.
