Called in today Saturday for lunch and was very disappointed in the overall experience. Ordered a starter for two then pizza and salad to share. All the food turned up at once and when waiter was told he just walked away. So we eat pizza from a starter bowl. Overall the place is nice to look at but the service and food is not great. Wouldn’t recommend and safe your money. Very poor 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

I often come to San Carlos in Selfridges for lunch when shopping. Last visit today. The bar man completely ignored us despite a number of polite attempts to attract his attention. Eventually I caught his attention but he stared me in the face and then walked away from me and returned to wiping the bar. Rude and arrogant and not what I expected from previous experience. Avoid! Food is OK from previous experience.

This was my first meal that I booked for my gf birthday and I was happy that I did the staff were friendly and even said happy birthday to my gf which I found was lovely we got sat down and given time to look through the menu at our own pace with out feeling rushed, they kindly explained when we did go to order the food that the portions were small so allowed us time to change the food we wanted, the food was lovely really enjoyed the arancini and the pasta dishes were amazing the meat had good seasoning and wasn't too tomatoey and complemented the pasta and meat really well, then when dessert came along they wrote happy birthday with the chocolate sauce which added to the experience the pistachio tarte was lovely and flavourful but not overly strong over all am amazing dining experience would gladly recommend.

Me and my dad went there so he could abandon me so he could go to the GP. He stayed for half an hour, so he can back me up when I say that the pizza was delectable. Pollo something or other is a simple but amazing pizza to have. Is a bit small, though. Since it was small I had the calamari. Delectable once again. Dipping their heads in the sauce definitely gave me an unmatched confidence. DOWN PATRICK DOWN I yelled aggressively before taking g a bite into heaven. Finished with the dessert of pana cotta. I think they forgot the vanilla stick thing, but the presentation was fabulous. Also, I got free ice cream because they were so nice, and my rizz was unmatched. Overall, amazing. I forgot my waitresses' name, but she was amazing. Thank you for the free ice cream. I certainly will be back. She said it was entirely free, but if it wasn't, I probably spent 20-30£s. Or 13,000 vbucks. Thank you for a taste of heaven.

We usually use Fumo at Selfridges, Birmingham, for our mid-shop lunch; so today we thought we'd check out the Northern version. The food was delicious - I decided to go rougue from my usual options, and chose the Sicilian Aubergine Parmigiana; it was so good, I'll order again! Staff were friendly and everyone spoke Italian, which added to the experience. Quieter and smaller than the Birmingham restaurant- but that's sometimes not a bad thing! ;o)

We are regular visitors here and usually have no issues. However we visited over the weekend and it was absolutely shocking. We were seated at a lovely table and provided with our menus. However 15-20 minutes after being seated I had to ask for someone to take our drinks order, we ordered food at the same time. My husband ordered the tempura king prawns and he was given calamari our king prawns were on the table opposite and we had their calamari. I informed the waiter this was incorrect and they were just swapped with no apology. I then ordered a ceaser salad which came with a lovely thick black hair in it!!! By this point our drinks were empty and I was getting very annoyed. The waiter took the salad away and said they’d knock it off the bill… again no real apology. 15 minutes later we were still sat with empty glasses and I had to ask AGAIN for someone to take our drinks order. It’s just not good enough when you are paying for a service and great food. It has really put me off as not one person offered us a proper apology yet we were still expected to pay over £100.

Today , I went there and I was really not happy, one of the employees, had bad way of talking, as soon as I got in she asked do u have any allergies, I said yeah am vegetarian, she answered back this is not allergies is preferences , I said it’s she insisted and said do you be ill or sick if u eat any kind of meat , I said yes , then said okay in bad way . I don’t know how big restaurants like this don’t give training to employees to how speak to customers and not being teacher or boss on them and keep arguing and in the end I ask the bill . She just put it down and went even did not ask how would you like to pay , luckily I had cash with me just put the money and left . Zero customer service.

Very disappointed. I visited today for lunch, I had the Tuna tartare followed by Fillet steak with Black Truffle sauce with a side of Tenderstem Broccoli . The Tuna was very nice unfortunately my first fillet steak supposed to be medium rare was completely grey and over cooked , so it went back, I waited about 15 mins for another steak which was stone cold when it arrived, so this went back. Not a good experience, maybe consider somewhere else if they cannot get a basic like this right.

Visited the restaurant before going to see Peter Kay. We love Italian food, and have been to a number of San Carlo restaurants before. Visited this restaurant a few times for drinks at the bar, finally had food. The food was delicious, they are smaller Italian dishes, made to share. Unfortunately they were out the duck ragù, I was gutted! We had the beef ragù, bolognese, arancini and garlic bread. They were all so good. The cocktail (margarita) was amazing. There was a slight issue with our food to begin with which we raised with the staff, they sorted it out straight away and very kindly offered a complimentary drink each. Cannot wait to go back soon, thanks!

We have been in this chain restaurant before in Birmingham and was a good experience. I can't say anything bad about food. I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, this time, they didn't put through our order, and the waiting time for our food was a little bit too long... the managed the problem, they offered a generous discount and I appreciated the honesty. Next time we go shopping there we will definitely go back for lunch.... after all is a good restaurant!

Food was great. Service not so! I had a booking, but the maitre’d wanted to share the fact they had a problem, and ended ‘I suppose we are going to have to honour your booking’ like their mess up was somehow my problem, this got me in the wrong mood for a start. Then the service was slow, had to ask for water three times and the bill twice. Second visit to a San Carlo, second time poor service.

Four of us dined at 5pm so the restaurant was not busy. We ordered our mains + 3 side dishes and a garlic bread. 3 of the mains arrived ... looked like starters and were barely hot. Mine was carbonara and was a strange orange colour and very salty. The 4th main + 2 of the side dishes arrived when we were half way through our meals. Minute dish of roast potatoes and similar for the broccoli . We had almost finished our meals when the side dish of fries arrived with the garlic bread. Waiter thought he was doing us a favour when he said the service charge hadn't been added on!! Wouldn't have paid it anyway. Overpriced for minute portions and very poor service...won't be going back!

Mildly arrogant, insincere service. Arrived mid afternoon and the restaurant was quiet, stood patiently waiting to be seated yet the staff were just stood chatting at the bar ignoring us. The service continued on this vein really. Food was fine but couldn’t get over staff strutting around not really interested in customer service, just chatting and joking with each other. You need to refocus on the CUSTOMER. A family came in who you clearly knew and you were all over them but everyone deserves good service, we are all paying the same. Simply not good enough.

Pleasant lunch spoiled by experiencing the upset on the table next to us when San Carlo could not accommodate the family as the little girl had severe celiac disease. The way this was handled by the manager was unprofessional and it is unacceptable that a restaurant group such as San Carlo cannot work with customers to deliver appropriate food. In my eyes this lowers the restaurant’s standing below many others in the city who obviously employ trained chefs rather than formulaic cooks who cannot waver from a predetermined big chain menu.

Disappointing visit to San Carlos at Selfridges Manchester. Food was very very average and not what you expect from San Carlos. Service was not great, our food arrived before our drinks (which we had to wait ages to order) they added the 12.5% service charge which was a bit of an insult. Views are lovely, have visited London store which is far superior.

We walked in last Saturday night after a shopping day. We had a lot to celebrate. The host was lovely. Found us a space at the bar. My partner ordered a Hugo. The bartender told us they didn't have mint... Ok fair enough... She had it without it... But she ordered and other with the same person but someone else did it. It tastes like edelflower cordial only .. and he put lemon in it... Which does not go in a Hugo it Is line and mint .. we asked for him to he lime instead... And this arrogant ma'am did it but clearly hie ego did like it and he made us feel uncomfortable and talking about us with colleagues after it.... 4 coktails ,50 pounds, not on specs ,arrogant attitude they were more interested flirting with girls at the bar than providing great service to a couple. A shame

This place used to be fab! The head waiter now is awful. He left a huge unattended queue for the longest time. Then he seated ppl at the bar never to be seated at a table. He preferred to keep a mass of empty tables and flood the bar area. Nobody was seated from the bar and they lost a lot of revenue by my calculation in the hour we sat there. Then he let 3 women waltz straight to a table with no booking!!!! Bar tenders were great though - just the man organising the show that let's it down unfortunately.

A rather disappointing first visit to this restaurant within Selfridges. Lovely decor, staff were friendly however we came for the food and it was shocking in every aspect as follows. 1. All food was served luke warm to cool at presentation 2. Sicilian Arancini was the warmest plate served but quite bland in flavour 3. Pollo chianti came as a whole cooked chicken. We were advised that it would take 20 minutes to cook but it came much sooner. It appeared as though it had been previously cooked and reheated. Dry and unappetising 3. Paccheri was flavourless and less than luke warm 4. Broccoli side order was also served cool. To add insult to injury there is a discretionary 12.5% charge which is already added to the bill. Sadly we will not be returning nor recommending it to friends

Food all served together. Very nice, right temperature, flavoursome, and good portions More wine & cocktails. Little expensive, not complaining as you get excellent service from putting your foot through the door. I highly recommend.

It was a lovely restaurant and the waiter was very nice 😊 however my food was not good my daughters was, she had prawns and a salad I had ravioli the filling was good but the pasta was undercooked and therefore dough. My main gripe was the sauce which wasn’t a sauce but tinned cherry tomatoes squished down I could taste the tin. I didn’t say anything at the time because it was my daughters birthday but I feel you should be aware that this is not good enough, I have Italian family and it would never have been served even in any kitchen belonging to them where the food is blissful.

Food was decent but service was poor! Made to wait to be seated despite having a booking - restaurant was relatively quiet and despite “front of house” seeing that we had waited a little while already, was in no rush to speak to us. Always a little uncomfortable being 2 women who are visibly of colour… Although it wasn’t a great start we were hoping that the food and atmosphere would make up for it. Despite having to wait a while again, this time to be served, perhaps unsurprisingly the couple who were seated after us were served swiftly before us! Our order was not taken for another 10 mins or so. Food was decent but part of the order was missing and other dishes went cold so overall not a great experience. Not my usual experience with San Carlo group having regularly been to the main restaurants in Manchester City centre. Worst part - despite the missing dishes being an error by our original waitress (who was apologetic) the larger bald waiter who served the other couple was extremely rude, abrupt and condescending! Had to put him in his place after which he disingenuously apologised. Cant say I’m surprised but disappointing nonetheless. They’ll be glad to know I won’t be returning.

Confusing attitude of some staff they seem to treat you with contempt especially the Maitre De. Food cooked well but ingredients seem of poor quality and somewhat tasteless. I felt a little unwell later in the afternoon. That feeling you often get after eating cheap...

A great choice of Italian food and wine, but San carlo is much more than just the food and wine. Watching the staff is like being entertained at the theater, with a first class show. The food I ordered was amazing, and authentic Italian too....

The worst restaurant I’ve ever been to, the food was awful and extremely bland. It was overpriced, if I could give it 0 stars I would. Please don’t go there £10 for a tiny drink and the sharing starter was full of grease and made...

Really nice authentic Italian food here. Great location and fantastic service. The portion sizes are quite small so I would recommend always ordering sides to go with your main. After your meal you can head downstairs to San Carlo Gran Cafe and enjoy some lovely desserts and tea or coffee.

This San Carlo is no comparison to the others I have visited over the years. Terrible service from rude staff, particularly the man with the bun! For years we have visited Manchester and always stopped for a drink at the bar in here however the service the last couple of times has been really poor, all I can say is that there are a few members of staff with huge attitude problems.

We were seated at the bar. I heard the bar staff slagging off every customer. Aloof and rude. We're never going back.

Had a lovely afternoon here a few weeks back. Food and drinks. Maitre D even sorted us out with a new table when we had unexpected friends arrive 👏🏼👏🏼

Really nice location and overall aesthetic of the restaurant. But when the food arrived its not we had expected for the price we paid , the portions were small and was nothing spectacular. Wouldn't recommend for a family lunch out.

Absolutely appalled at the service we have received. Food came out before our drinks, the food was incorrect and the waitress laughed in our faces. Manager’s attitude stunk and we were made to feel really uncomfortable. First ever trip to San Carlo’s and unfortunately this...

Este café ha sido el anfitrión de muchos propietarios diferentes, y tengo que decir que los actuales dueños son uno de los peores. En primer lugar, la comida, la comida es mediocre en el mejor de los casos. Las patatas fritas son como comer cartón y la mayoría de la comida no tiene mucho sabor, o está todo muy seco y correoso. Ha habido un par de veces he tenido una comida decente, pero nada bueno. La pasta es muy seco, las patatas chaqueta son superficial después de que han sido horneados con queso y otra vez muy seco (me refiero a quién las patatas chaqueta mal! ). La higiene del servidor con el pelo un poco más largo es muy cuestionable. Yo una vez fui en tostado y me hicieron mi tostada en la máquina en vez de una real panini tostadora! El pescado y las patatas fritas, los viernes son una buena idea, pero las patatas fritas sabor de cartón y te dan 5 fichas con una el pescado en el congelador por 5 libras! Literalmente, contar las fichas. Es ridículo. También me registré y la compañía dieron una calificación muy baja para la higiene! ! ! Se puede decir por qué cuando vas. En general, este café podría ser bueno tienen algunos menús que suenan bien pero falla. En general, es caro, la más pequeña de calor alimentos cuesta 5 libras para el almuerzo. En general necesita un montón de mejoras en el precio de la comida y la higiene

My husband and I regularly go to Via Roma for dinner and we have never had a bad meal yet, the food is always freshly made and served piping hot to the table. We have taken friends and family to the restaurant and everyone has commented about how lovely the food is. We have even had our steak and pasta to takeaway. I would highly recommend this restaurant, the staff are lovely, attentive but without being intrusive, we tell all our friends, family and even the taxi drivers to go!

I have never left a review never mind a bad one but I booked Salvis NQ for my bfs birthday a week in advance, I received multiple texts confirming the booking in the lead up to this evening - get there 5 mins before our reservation at 6.30pm and the restaurant is closed! Rang the store and could hear the phone ringing but very obviously they were not open as there was a letter hanging out of the door. No notification or communication from Salvis to ask us to go to another location or even to tell us they are not opening today. So annoyed as they’ve got fab reviews for food and I thought it would be a perfect bday place! We went to the corn exchange location to see if we could get a table there but it was pretty full and there was only one staff member on so we decided to not add to his visible stress. Probs won’t try to come again which is a shame because we were looking forward to it!
