San Carlo

San Carlo is a family-owned Italian restaurant group founded by Carlo Distefano in 1992. From its first restaurant in Birmingham, the group has grown across the UK and internationally, while remaining proudly independent and family-led.

At the heart of San Carlo is a passion for Italian food, generous hospitality and beautifully considered spaces. Menus celebrate the breadth of Italian cooking, bringing together seasonal produce, fresh seafood, pasta and regional influences, alongside the sense of occasion and energy that has become synonymous with San Carlo.

Design and creativity are an important part of the experience too. Each restaurant has its own character, combining distinctive interiors with carefully curated details that reflect both the San Carlo identity and the city around it. In Manchester, the group has built a longstanding presence across the city, including San Carlo on King Street, Fumo at St Peter’s Square and Bottega by San Carlo at Selfridges Exchange Square.

Art also has a natural place within the world of San Carlo. The Art of San Carlo brings together artists, curators and galleries across the group’s restaurants, with permanent commissions and evolving collections adding another layer of personality to the spaces.

This season, San Carlo has introduced a new Autumn/Winter collection, celebrating ingredients including fresh black truffle, roasted pumpkin, wild mushrooms and seasonal seafood across a selection of new dishes. Christmas also returns across the group, with festive menus, seasonal celebrations and dining experiences bringing family, friends and colleagues together throughout the festive season.

Today, San Carlo continues to bring together food, hospitality, design and culture, creating restaurants that feel distinctive, expressive and unmistakably Italian.
