San Carlo - Manchester

This is an exceptionally good restaurant! We dined here on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was full the entire time but we were still very well looked after. The staff were very kind and attentive making sure to keep our glasses topped up and ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was to die for ! We had the Tagliolini crab, Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare and Pappardelle all’Anatra. Each dish was well prepared and absolutely delicious. We were celebrating a birthday as well and the staff brought out a dessert for him which was a lovely touch. All in all this was an amazing restaurant with a bustling atmosphere, great staff and delicious food. I would recommend this to anyone !

The food itself was quite good, but the service was extremely poor. I had made a reservation, yet I still had to wait around 20 minutes before my table was ready. After finishing our main course, no one came to inquire if we would like to order dessert. Furthermore, when we requested the bill, I had to ask three different people before it was finally brought to us. I fail to understand why there is a service charge for this level of service.

I actually couldn’t believe how busy it was on a Thursday night, it’s nice to see a place doing so well and they obviously must be doing something right. I loved the wait staff, proper dressed up and just very respectful and knowledgeable. Kinda gives me Godfather/Scarface vibes. Everything I had was super delicious and they were happy to box stuff up cause I ordered too much. Meatballs with pasta is far too expensive for what you get but everything else was perfect.
