SquareMeal Review of San Carlo Bristol

The mirrored San Carlo chain claims to be a ‘proper Italian restaurant’. Quite what that implies may be debatable, but with its strong Mediterranean feel and lengthy menu of familiar trattoria dishes there’s no doubt that this branch, located in Bristol city centre (other branches are in Leicester, Birmingham & Manchester), has been a big, buzzing, bustling success ever since it opened its doors. The emphasis is on fish, with a fine array from grilled Dover sole to lobster thermidor. There is also a wide choice of retro Italian antipasti, pastas & pizzas.

They can’t even clean the prawn properly

prawn still have the poop line in it, and they also put cream in the carbonara so it just taste like a ready meal. I barely touched my carbonara but no one cares. I mean it's a very clear signal when the customer didn't even touch the food. Anyway the restaurant is pretty, I wish their food is as pretty as the environment

Had a meal here today, taking advantage of the governments 50% off offer

Found the staff quite arrogant , didn’t even ask if our food was ok, although saying that the  wine water was a nice guy... 

The food was very average, to be honest had better in our local Italian in Manchester. 

The surroundings are very nice apart from the chairs which are cheap and uncomfortable 

The food doesn’t live up to all the hype, sorry, what a let down ??

A most unusual restaurant. They need all the recognition they can get because they provide really excellent food albeit front of house does not match the quality of the cooking. If it was in York or Leeds ( both within easy reach ) people would be raving about it. Towns like Selby need this - I wish it would move to our home town Doncaster which remains a culinary desert.
