San Carlo Cicchetti in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We were so looking forward to dining here with friends for a special birthday celebration. Fter dining in Liverpool San Carlo and Regent Street previously on different occasions with outstanding service and food! Not this this time sadly. I'm so sad that we chose Knightsbridge to bring friends. Welcome was less than welcoming. Waiter ot seemed all too much trouble for him. Starters came up at odd times making food cold. Garlic bread 1 was over cooked one under cooked. The chicken lemone that was not aopertising at all. Cold brocolli. One main was bought put 10mins before any others! Portion size was fit for a child! Who orders a pizza and gets a childs garlic bread size! For that price! What an earth has happened! Worst experience we've had in a restaurant for a very long time. Not to tye standard of you other beautiful restaurants unfortunately for us. So disappointed and embarrassed to have bought friends for a special occasion.

We went there a year ago and enjoyed it and booked again this year and some of the comments almost put us off going again. We went and had an excellent experience, good food, good service and a great atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had to give it one ‘star’ to write a review - but it didn’t deserve it. We are frequent visitors to Cicchetti Piccadilly over the last few years and have had such amazing food & service. It’s our ‘go to’ restaurant when in London. We have visited the Knightsbridge restaurant once before and found it equally as lovely as our visits to Piccadilly. So we were hugely disappointed with our visit yesterday at 1800 hours to the Knightsbridge San Carlo Cicchetti. The food was atrocious and not of the standard we have come to love and expect at Cicchetti restaurants. We were so surprised - and so very sad. Based on our last visit to this particular restaurant we were very much looking forward to our evening meal. Didn’t anticipate what we were exposed to. Food was overall cool/cold. For example: - the base dough of the Calzone was uncooked and the filling cold. - Baked Norma was a cool temperature, pasta very dried out and and hardly any sauce at all to make it edible - Pollo Limone sent back before tasting as the dark coloured ‘lumps’ of chicken looked less than appealing - We couldn’t share the Zucchini Frites because, luckily, we noted there were a couple of pieces of Calamari in the dish - and my daughter is seafood sensitive. The daughter and I ended up just sharing a slice of Bruschetta, small dish of mixed salad and some Patatine Frites. I’ve never declined to pay a service charge and in fact mostly over- tip on top of it! Sadly today I was so disappointing I had to request it be removed. Our bill was £65 so expensive for what we ate - but not overall because we did have water and two spritz. So we feel reluctant to return to this restaurant but sadly nervous about going to our Piccadilly favourite.

A very pleasant Italian restaurant. The concept is of sharing plates; around 5/6 dishes per couple. The food is good and the service is above average. The staff are very pleasant. Do try the prawns!

This isn't a cheap night out but the food is tasty. The serves are small but this was explained to us at the beginning as it's all meant to be shared. We started with bread which arrived with our rocket salad. Our two pastas arrived not long after. Our seafood pasta was tasty as was our meatball dish. We didn't share them! Our wines were very good. Staff were friendly and professional.

Posto assai grande vicino a Covent Garden, siamo andati il giorno prima di Natale, ed era molto affollato e rumoroso. Peccato perché l'ambiente é molto piacevole da una sensazione di pulito e freschezza. Il cameriere impeccabile molto professionale con un occhio attento ad ogni nostra esigenza. Buona carta dei vini (anche se esageratamente cari) porzioni piccole da condividere. Ottimi i ravioli al tartufo. Vorrei tornarci in un giorno meno affollato. Prezzo troppo alto.

I was apprehensive to even try this restaurant after having had the worst dining experience ever in its sister restaurant in Regents Street. What a difference an efficient, polished, and pleasant manager makes — as compared to his rude and surly counterpart in Regent Street. The food was delicious and arrived promptly. The service was impeccable. The restaurant was bright and airy and tastefully decorated. It was a delightful experience. I will be back.

We were recommended but no one told us it’s Italian tapas . I thought it unusual when the waiter , (I thought he said ) I recommend sharing the tapas ! Silly me thought were were at a regular Italian . The hostess was really kind helpful . Fish was unfortunately over cooked lasagna delicious but my bolognese for me was to heavy on the tomato base . But tasty nevertheless. Great location for theatre.
