had a wonderful experience the ambiance was delightful, and the food was absolutely delicious.
The staff catered for our table of eight exceptionally. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious at affordable prices.
Absolutely fantastic! My first time at San Carlo and it did not disappoint. The restaurant looked fantastic, really tastefully decorated for Christmas too. We were quickly seen to for our drinks and food order. The menu is amazing, so much choice and suited to all types of diets. The food was absolutely insane, we had scallops, truffle ravioli, monkfish tagliatelle, seafood spaghetti.. everything was perfect. The service was very efficient and most were friendly, although some failed to acknowledge what we were saying, it wasn’t a major issue but didn’t warrant a 5 star rating, we felt a little more interactivity would’ve been nice. But all in all, fantastic and will be back!
Came for a birthday meal, when booking it asked the reason for the booking and chose birthday, but there was no mention or comment on this. Service felt very rushed and two course meal over and done in just over 30 mins. Food was good although could have be seasoned better.
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.
Very expensive for poor service and alright food.
We started with a fried fish platter which came fairly quickly and was delicious. However, it went down from here. We then waited 1hr 45 minutes from finishing our starter to receive our main!
We asked the waiter how long it would be and he informed 5 minutes which then the food came.
I had the chilli prawn spaghetti and whilst the prawns were very nice and quite large, the tomato sauce was quite runny underneath all the spaghetti.
The drinks were nice and the food was okay but for the service I don’t think I would be coming back here. If you enjoy to be at a restaurant for a while and enjoy to talk between courses then you might not mind the wait.

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.
