This Italian restaurant in the heart of Birmingham is perfect for a great evening out
I dined at San Carlo in the heart of Birmingham and had a wonderful evening out in the city centre.
It was my first time dining at a San Carlo restaurant the other week and the site in Birmingham certainly did not disappoint.
The food was full of flavour, service very prompt with lovely staff and the setting was lovely.
I dined at around 8pm on a Saturday night and the restaurant was buzzing - proving that it is already popular.
Every seat in the restaurant was taken and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
At first glance at the menu it struck me how many options there were to choose from.
There is so much on offer from pasta, pizza, meat to fish dishes. I was really impressed with the variety of dishes guests can choose from.
For drinks we went for two cocktails, an Aperol Spritz and a Negroni. For starters we opted for Calamari and Arancini.
Both starters were delicious but the Arancini was my favourite - so cheesy!
For mains our lovely waiter recommended the Ravioli Tartufo, a luxurious Italian pasta dish featuring fresh egg pasta stuffed with ricotta and black truffle, and the Ravioli all’Astice, handmade pasta stuffed with lobster meat.
Both dishes were indeed delicious. The Ravioli Tartufo was very cheesy, so perfect for those cheese lovers out there but not so much if you can start to feel a bit queasy.
The Ravioli all’Astice is perfect for seafood lovers who are wanting a pasta dish.
For dessert I devoured a tiramisu that was very good. Creamy and the right consistency of what a tiramisu should be.
All in all the food was really good and I would return for another meal again.
Not only was the food great, but the staff were very attentive - despite it being so busy in there!
It was really impressive and elevated the experience.
Within walking distance from the restaurant there are so many bars for a drink and a buzzing social scene.
The restaurant is perfect if you are wanting a nigh out in Birmingham with your friends, loved one or even family.
It was a really great experience and the location was amazing.
Delicious food, a buzzing atmosphere, and located in a fun area of the city. I had a great time, and I am sure to be back.
San Carlo is located on Temple Street in Birmingham and you can book in at the restaurant here.
