This place is amazing ! Best restaurant in Manchester and for a reason. Go for lobster pasta and chicken liver antipasti ... Or avocado with lobster and shrimps ... Or whatever.

Great restaurant from San Carlo group! Great for large groups. Friendly and quick service . Food is always excellent, especially for such a large restaurant - the quality and quantity they serve ????????

Majed Aljohani

Nice service delicious Italian food always busy when you visit Manchester you have to go there .

Rawan Ns

The food was fabulous, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff are so friendly . Above that it’s not expensive ! Big love ❤️ ????

Mr P'Mee

It's a great Italian restaurant which deserves many awards. You should not leave Manchester without having a dinner at San Carlo.

Bijan Young

Always packed and food also really good. Sometimes too busy and herd instinct in packing in and moving out. An institution to visit

Joanna Simpson

You certainly don't need to be a baller to eat here, great atmos & mains from £8. But if you want to come on a Fri or Sat, you need to book in advance . It's busy because it's good!

Khawla Abdulla

Place was easy to find the san Carlo salad was okay,pizza was real good & light but HUGE couldn't eat half of it..creme brûlée was a bit on the heavy side but overall good ... The staff were friendly

Anoud HS

India Greenhalgh

Fantastic atmosphere, amazing for groups or a special occasion . Best Italian in Manchester

Anna Sapegina

Booking in advance is highly recommended as it's always busy! Very friendly atmosphere with beautiful people around. Great choice of food and wines .

They clearly understand that there are very few good Italian restaurants these days located in Manchester, highly recommended ????

Rosa Linda

Wonderful food but too caciarone (noisy and crowdy) for my taste. Try the bistecca al Barolo that's superb! I find San Carlo cicchetti wins between the two.

Yvonne Casey

Had a lovely meal Christmas Eve. Extensive menu and lovely atmosphere

The tagliatelle montecarlo is exquisite. Sadly the service, while good, was provided by at least 6 different people, which I always find disconcerting.

Bijan Young

So close to being a perfect place but service is 'stack em in and get em out' and there is no intimacy or romance. A Manchester icon though

Victoria Meilack

The Crème brûlée is to die for! A crunchy caramel top with a creamy but not too rich custard ... Must try!

Richard Kay

I've had one of my best meals here: Insalata Adriatica (seafood salad ), filetto dolcelatte (fillet steak with blue cheese sauce ) and a Cappuccino . Perfect.

Maher

Most of their selection are excellent especially Pasta with seafood

gavin anderson

July DM

Kai Kirchhoff

The main courses are not that good, like pizza and pasta . The staff is friendly and nice.

Bora Demiralan

Best of best Italian restaurants ever had in life ????????????

Adam Burrows

They have a new pasta on the menu (May '11) called 'Pasta E Polpette', the meatballs are some of the best I've tasted.

Swemeatballs .

Possibly the best Italian in Manchester, if busy, try sister restaurant Cicchetti across the street

I

Not the best branch that I visited. They served the soup was it was all over the serving plate. The ravioli wt lobster and crab was hard on edges & tasted like mashrooms. The small portion had2 pieces

Luke Hartley

The Prawn Gnocchi & Fresh Mascarpone cheesecake are so fit!!

Peter Mckiernan

Order the calamari platter with langoustines and scallops for two
