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!

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.

We had booked a table for 2 at San Carlo for our wedding anniversary, not even sure why they ask at the time of the booking what’s the occasion as no one there really cares. The atmosphere was dire with frustrated guests clearly not being looked after, the restaurant had about 12 front of staff on the night serving not many tables, still service was lacking. It took ages to get our order, the wine was very mediocre for the price, the food very average. We had a charcuterie to share to start and it was worse than what you might get from budget off license, nothing was remotely close to what Italian charcuterie should be. And again - service poor, for the establishment that calls themselves fine dining, there was dining, but it surely wasn’t fine. The ladies toilets were absolutely filthy, toilet paper everywhere, urine all over the floors, it stank and no soap, but a bunch of empty soap bottles all over the basin counters.. It was quite shocking. I the. Gents were the same from what my husband later told me. When the bill arrived we refused to pay service charge and complained about the service and food quality, we were given 10% off and service charge was removed. I don’t really think we were listened to when we complained and were given that discount just to go away, it felt like they have been dealing with complaints that way other than actually improve. Won’t be coming back.

San Carlo Bristol is a lavish Italian venue for diners who appreciate fine dining.Only a 5 minute walk from the Bristol Hippodrome, San Carlo Bristol is also the idea food spot for those looking to enjoy an evening of dinner and theatre.Starters and anti-pasties were genuine Italian pleasures. Fish dishes were fine not great. So Italian classics would be ideal to choose next time.

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.

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.

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.
