Amazing place, food and atmosphere. We had our anniversary dinner at San Carlo in Bristol and the food and service was amazing. Food arrived quickly. Only my daughter starter which was mozzarella between two pieces of bread which i think was deep fried and was soaked in oil, the main taste was the oil, plus when my partner booked the table he have included in the form we are going to have anniversary and was hoping for something but it looks like they don’t really red the info that comes with the booking request which was s bit disappointing as surely if there is a space to incl such an information they should read it and act accordingly. Apart from that everything was great.
One of the best Italian restaurant chains! The staff were really kind to accommodate us very late at night, not long before closing. Service was quick and the food was absolutely delicious! The portions are so generous it's great value for money. Will be back to try the rest of the menu :)
Wonderful restaurant.
We found it by accident, as a recommendation.
Great food. Very polite and attentive staff (without being overly so!).
Was very busy, which is reassuring on a Sunday night.
Lovely restaurant, tucked away in central Bristol. We ate here for a birthday meal and enjoyed the experience. I would definitely return.
Pros
We both enjoyed our food. I had sea bass and my husband had the four seasons pizza.
Wonderful atmosphere, from the background music to the mirrored walls and lighting. It was a really classy experience.
Waiting staff were very professional and attentive.
Prices seemed very reasonable considering the quality of the food.
Could improve
There were no olives at all on the menu in any form and we love olives so were disappointed.
There was no veg at all accompanying the fish on the specials menu, which is fine if there had been a good selection of side dishes. I didn't feel there was much choice though: spinach or beans and that was it.
Not many vegetarian options and even then they were not labelled as such for easy reference.
On balance we enjoyed our meal and would return.
San Carlo Bristol is a lavish Italian venue for diners who appreciate fine dining.
Only a 5 minute walk from the Bristol Hippodrome, San Carlo Bristol is also the idea food spot for those looking to enjoy an evening of dinner and theatre.
Starters and anti-pasties were genuine Italian pleasures. Fish dishes were fine not great. So Italian classics would be ideal to choose next time.
Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Venue and staff are excellent
Lovely atmosphere on a Saturday night, very lively. Good service and the food was great, simple but fresh and delicious.
Wonderful dining experience, excellent food and the best service I have received in a long time. Will definitely return
Had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious.
Tasty meal and amazing customer service ❤️
I am definitely coming back whenever I visit again.
Took advantage of the set lunch menu today and as always flawless… clean plate from me !
The restaurant provides special lunch set which is amazing, 3 courses only costs £19.50 with fine dining high quality and service. This is one of the restaurants under San Carlo group, I visited Fumo in London which is very good,too.
Visited to celebrate a family 25th anniversary meal... the food was brilliant.
All the food was excellent however...my fav item has to be the tempura prawns they were SUBLIME! Also the arancini balls were AMAZING too!
