London's VIRAL Luxury Restaurant Tested With Paying Customers

#ad Get 4 months extra on a 2 year plan with NordVPN here ➼ nordvpn.com/hannahricketts. It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee!
Carlotta is often popping up as THE place to be! The latest new hotspot for dining is Carlotta on Marylebone high street. An Italian with an 1980's (I think) twist on american-italian interiors and food. A wild restaurant design and some wild smells to go along with it... Also Nat and I do a bit of pre shopping along the lovely Marylebone streets.

What's your favorite restaurant in London

[@videohut4445]

Thanks, Hannah. I switched from Expressvpn to Nord last month. I was very impressed with Nord. I will be staying with them.

[@PeaceDweller]

You and your sister have the most beautiful smiles. Proper English roses. Though there is no Sun in the video, your smiles certainly make up for it.

[@redrooster1908]

Sweet comment ❤ I agree!

[@sharonhughes1538]

Totally agree ❤❤❤these lady's

Two sweet and beautiful ladies

I love Hannah and her sister 💗 💓 💕

"No one has a perfectly straight nose, unless they bought it." Well said. LOL.

[@bokhorstp]

I could feel and understand your disappointment. Thanks for saving us £ 140

[@thinktank4383]

The prices in the Midlands are shockingly close to those in London. Also "no nose is perfect unless you have bought it" loved the joke 🤣

[@camillepowell5937]

I laughed out loud when she said that!

The RICKETT SISTERS are on the loose again in Londontowne--Double the FUN!!😊😊

😂😂😂

[@KB0101]

Yay Nat's back. We love the dynamic duo.

[@isobelmatheson8036]

I live in Spain, and it's basically illegal for establishments to not offer you take home boxes! It cuts down waste, and means there's a snacking opportunity later on some time.

[@7catsmom959]

Also, in France, you must be given a takeaway container.

[@Resmith18SR]

How civilized!!!

[@sjanex]

Must be a London thing because I’m in the uk but I’ve never been refused

[@deborahphelps9049]

Love to hear the sisterly bantering.

[@SeyoDeline]

Such a sweet connection between you two. Fab as always 👍

[@mercedesg3607]

Thanks for the review on the restaurant. In the beginning I thought "I have to check this place out next time we go to the UK" but as time passed I noticed how loud it got, how busy the decor was and the dessert looked a little funky, and then you said it reeked of cheese?! Oh heck no, I'm all set . Thanks for saving me $140 😂

[@thecatatemyhomework]

That would be $178.

[@Wizerud]

That restaurant was way too…I dunno, gaudy? I’d struggle to spend more than an hour in there. Great to see Nat again ☺️

[@TexasPrincessss]

That last place was such a scam! Unbelievable! Charging you to use their app to pay and it is the only way to pay?! Predatory.

[@AbsoluteAudits]

Because you’ve already consumed the goods, you’re settling a debt which under U.K. law you get to decide how to settle it. If you offer cash or card and they decline it, they can’t sue/prosecute you for nonpayment if you then walk out because you offered payment and they refused the offer. So they will usually give in and accept cash/card. This involves causing a scene usually so I guess it’s easier for most to pay the 99p, but I personally would ask to pay a normal way and if they make a big deal I’ll ask for the service to be removed 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@isabellind1292]

@@AbsoluteAudits Speaking to this practice that restaurants won't allow you to take home whatever you've paid for that you cannot eat. I saw this happen in a previous episode where Hannah was denied her request to take home the scones they were unable to eat. It's a waste of food! I'd have been tempted to stuff a little note inside the bottom of one of the scones that the restaurant couldn't bear to part with. "If you read this note, they're serving you our leftovers."

[@fluffyfour]

@@AbsoluteAudits I'm not sure this is correct. There is no law which says a business has to accept payment as the customer chooses to pay it, they have a right to accept payment in whatever form THEY wish. I do believe, for their own sake, it would be wise to let one know ahead of time what forms they accept, and also that there is an extra charge made by the app for paying that way.

[@Hauntedhighheel]

I googled and it's actually a chain, not a single restaurant! No wonder it was understaffed. Someone calls in sick at other place, someone needs go over fast.

[@Wyz369]

​@@isabellind1292brilliant idea😉🌟

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

Thank you for braving the rain for our sake. True London vibes :)

[@dalefriesen8676]

Hannah I always love it when you and Nat team up for a restaurant review! Your high standards of integrity are appreciated. A bit of cheese is nice in moderation. But seriously. A nutrient dense meal can be had for sixteen plus pounds. Is this our cashless future? A 99 cent charge to pay a bill with an qpp? The coffee shop at La Frommagerie looked like my cup of tea. Anyway this was a lot of fun seeing you two ladies together again. Take good care and I'll look for you again this Tuesday 6PM your time. And thank you very much to the two of you for an absolutely wonderful vlog!

[@isabellind1292]

Norway is one of a few cashless countries, now. I don't know if Americans will ever be up to using plastic to pay for a cup of coffee but then they're also one of the last three countries on the planet who haven't gone metric so they'll probably be the last hold-outs on both accounts, lol!

[@haute03]

@@isabellind1292 I'm not sure what you mean? Most of us in America use cards or our phones to pay for things in cafes, restaurants, the grocery store, etc. ETA: I should note that our country is absolutely huge, so I can't speak for every place. I'm sure there are some cash-heavy towns/states here, but living on the East Coast and having traveled a fair bit, I can say that I rarely see people paying with cash these days.

[@isabellind1292]

@@haute03 Oh. I stand corrected. I really didn't think it'd become that prevalent in the States. (But I'm still leaning on the US being the last to switch over to metric, lol). Thank you.

[@JenniferSW3]

agreed. A cashless future is a huge worry though. We need to hold onto cash 100%

[@user-uu6cx1ne6t]

Hannah that may be a London thing about not asking to take food home from your restaurant meal. I am 59 & have always asked ‘ for a doggy bag ‘ which means food container to take rest of meal home. Never been refused yet. Btw love watching your channel , I always like & I am subscribed

[@amybishop9787]

I’ve never been refused a doggy bag either My understanding is you have bought the food and therefore it is yours.

[@jungelify]

Londoner here, born and raised. Always been able to get doggy bags when eating out.

[@lyndabond1443]

The dynamic duo 🎉. I agree with Natalie on the noise and too much for the senses. I lol 😂 at “ No 1 has a straight nose unless they paid for it “. It’s gems 💎 like that , that make you so awesome Hannah ❤👍

[@lindsayturcaloro5661]

I love Hannah and Natalie vlogs!! 🤗🩷

[@JohnNorris1977]

I love when Hannah says ‘yum indeed’. So iconic 😊

[@RiverDanube]

A very unusual restaurant. The food looked good. The wedding photos of unknown people makes it look totally impersonal. It’s lovely that you take your sister out, she needs the time out from her busy life.

[@kathyevans2968]

You two melted my heart today, listening to your priceless connection where you obviously just get each other. Like a ray of sunshine on your rainy day!

[@janetclaireSays]

The cheese (at the shop, not in the restaurant) is what I want! There is nothing like a day spent with a sister who likes to do the same things as you! You ladies are delightful!

[@michaeltucker5752]

Thanks for sharing…99 pence to use an app to pay your bill, THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! I would just have gotten pizza😂

[@scouser6630]

Do people in London not thinking they are getting ripped off paying £8.40 for a fresh loaf ?? I can understand the cost off the property for the shop but £8.40 for a loaf 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@draoi99]

Ha ha, when I was a kid I would have loved that "Bum or Face" book! Brilliant idea. Here's an idea for a video: visit all the London locations where Four Weddings and a Funeral was filmed. The final scene in the rain was at 22 Highbury Terrace.

[@alisab3041]

Love seeing your time spent with your lovely sister. That restaurant would have overwhelmed me too - too much visual noise.

[@DeborahMaufer]

Visual noise, auditory noise, olfactory noise.... too much!

[@yappyspaz]

The restaurant seemed overwhelming. But the food looked delicious. I love watching you and your sister shop and share a meal together. Another amazing vlog

[@nazmaSh97]

You both are adorable and basically it is hard to see vloggers being honest over something nowadays.Great job to you

[@brianunkefer3687]

Your Sister is getting more relaxed on camera. I love London in the rain so your video today made me smile. Well your videos always make me smile. Have a beautiful weekend.

[@flyergowest]

Enjoyed this episode. Visiting stores I won’t get into. Food and restaurants. Seeing the neighborhood. Perfect. Thanks for your work. You and your sister have good chemistry.

[@sandyt8501]

Wonderful to see you and your sister hanging out together..Another great, fun video💖

[@user-gf9mf6ty6c]

Sisters shopping and lunching, lovely video x

[@sherpasmom]

No takeaway was one of the biggest culture shocks between US and England. From our perspective, I feel like the restaurant was loud and busy, and I love a relaxing meal if I'm being waited on. Great review, and I love the mocktail options.

[@sjanex]

I’m in the uk and I’ve taken food home a few times.

Another fun episode. Love when you and Nat get together. Laughed out loud at your review of the restaurant. Thanks for spending £137 (plus 99p) so we don’t have to!!

[@cheriouellette7956]

I absolutely love listening to you and Natalie converse with each other, lol!!! Exactly like sisters and its just perfect. Enjoyed your video so much as usual, please keep making them!!! London is so different from Alberta, Canada and such a nice departure. Have a wonderful week Hannah!!!

[@MarkRovelli]

if you like Italian food, when my wife and I were in London last April (2023), we found Terra Rossa near St Paul. Take it from an Italian from across the pond, great food there! The interior of Terra Rossa is nothing like Carlotta - big surprise! Just a nice traditional Italian restaurant with a few large murals (and nothing like that ladies room!!!)

[@ticketyboo2456]

FYI the term 'across the pond' is used to describe the Atlantic between the USA and Great Britain 😂

[@MarkRovelli]

@@ticketyboo2456 we live in Massachusetts btw... 😉

[@angeladormer6659]

Oh dear lovely Hannah and sister Natalie. Too British to complain, just not enough London to complain, sorry sweet girl. The shops are lovely to look at, but the prices are ridiculous. Thank you for taking us with you and giving up a day off to show us what is there. Didn't know that London shops don't open til 10 am the end of the week, they didn't in my day, back in the dark ages x

[@HannahRicketts]

All stores are 10am in the week and 12 on Sunday!

[@angeladormer6659]

@HannahRicketts Goodness. I had a couple of friends worked weekends in Oxford Street and had to be there early for 9 am opening Saturdays not sure about Sundays. Sorry playing the senior card here, it was nearly 60 yrs ago 😆. I would like to tell your parents that they raised two beautiful girls. You even thanked the staff on leaving Carlotta's even though you had bad service. You girls are so nice, and that is a compliment.

[@g.970]

I think the noise level in that restaurant is more than I could handle

It is true, Hannah. Americans are "sue happy" over here. I'm afraid to let children play in my yard for fear of getting sued if the child gets hurt. Its awful we can't have community comradery like we used to , back in the day. One UP note I do love the videos of you and your sister. Thank you so much. donna from north carolina

[@carmenmcgowan3968]

Another fun and fabulous video from the girls. I don’t see my sister anymore so I love to see the connection between you two, you’re very lucky!

Keep the new ones coming, I feel like I’m there in London with you .. cheers from Down Under xxx

Same. I used to be close to my sister like this and natter away while we shopped. Alone in Melbourne now. Living a sisterly bond vicariously through these two 😊

I’m well pleased I don’t have to suffer that London weather anymore.

[@awineandfoodnerd]

TGIF, Hannah! Fabulous to see you and your sister doing a little shopping and sharing lunch together again. The trip to Daunt Books was fun…always a good laugh with some children’s books. The loo in Carlotta was great…if a little odd, especially all the red light. The food looked amazing…the dessert was quite a showstopper. Have an amazing weekend and hopefully your weather warms up soon! See you Tuesday!

[@Julianne955]

That was a different kind of restaurant...a lot noisy for me. I loved the shopping though, lol always fun to see what you get into. Thank you both for taking us along with you! Yes, Hannah, a trip to the museum, it's been a very long time since I was there. Have a wonderful week you two!

Love when you meet up with your sister 😊It’s 31st May and cold and raining in Norfolk 🙄come on summer 😂I loved the look of the restaurant looked much bigger than the outside portrayed 😂👍
