By far, San Carlo Cicchetti is the best restaurant I have dined in.
The service is perfect, the atmosphere is great, and recommended for a romantic night.
The prices are on the high end.
Caciucco is a must, the baked bread covering the fish and shrimps is the best specialty.

The Pistachio Cake is not really a cake in the traditional sense but instead a three-layer, custardy, delicate mousse like dessert with a soft, crumbly base. Not too sweet, which I loved and not an overly strong nutty taste, which I loved even more. I rarely rave over desserts, but this cake is simply sublime.
I have wanted to visit San Carlo for such a long time and was thrilled when my husband said he was taking me for my birthday. Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we were waved off! The staff were so attentive and helpful - we took up their wine recommendations (which included wines to suit all pockets) and food favourites and every mouthful was delicious - I tried food I thought I didn't even like (the chicken liver starter) and found it cooked to perfection and utterly delicious. I was sung to, given extra birthday pudding and generally treated like a superstar the whole time we were there and cannot wait to go back again! Thanks to all (especially our cheeky waitor!) for making it a wonderful birthday treat!
