San Carlo

Although it started in Birmingham, the opulent mini-chain San Carlo has become a Liverpool icon because of its fantastic, always changing seasonal menu.

San Carlo restaurants are truly Italian, with freshly prepared food, superb service, and a vibrant, friendly atmosphere. The decor is so elegant that you'll feel like every meal is a special occasion. Every week, they buy the highest-quality products, many of which are flown in from Italy's produce markets. “The key to everything is the quality of the ingredients, that is what it comes down to. Italian food is based on simple cooking. So if the quality of your ingredients is good enough, then people will come back”, Marcello Distefano, managing director. The majority of their pizza, pasta, and meat dishes are delicious.
