  “Huge thank you to Giovanni and the whole team for such a lovely evening for my friends and I. The food recommendations were absolutely spot on, my risotto was genuinely perfect, as were the two pasta dishes my friends had. the cocktails and desserts were equally fantastic. What really made the evening, though, was how wonderfully looked after we felt from start to finish by the whole team. Giovanni was so lovely, attentive and welcoming, and his care and enthusiasm really made a difference. A brilliant meal, fantastic drinks and wonderful service. We had such a lovely evening and will absolutely be back! Thank you, Giovanni!”

  “Had a lovely dinner at San Carlo with a group of 10. We were seated promptly with no waiting, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Special thanks to Tamzid, Eduardo and Ossama for being so welcoming, attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Great food, great atmosphere and fantastic service, we’ll definitely be back!”

  “Disappointing. Risotto lacked flavour and prawns. Baked cheesecake was the standout dish. What a shame. Plus served a bottle of malbec, not informed of price. £74.50 malbec. We had 1 starter 2 mains 1 dessert, so not big spenders, good waiting staff would have clocked that and politely drop that price into the conversation. We eat out regularly, want to keep the hospitality industry going but poor service and not reading the table. We asked for a malbec and not given any information about it. I have eaten at much better places, happy to spend, staff always engage with us about the menu and wines, not on this occasion. The best thing there that day was the lovely hostess. Hope she moves on to a better establishment.”

  “Had a great time here last night with the girls for a birthday dinner! From the moment we stepped in, service was fab, took our costs, recommended dishes and drinks and food came quick, especially given it was quite busy. We enjoyed all our food and drinks and the atmosphere was great! The downstairs is gorgeous too, flowers on the walls so we defintley took lots of pics! Defintley recommend if you want a fancier dinner vibe in Birmingham!”

  “Gorgeous meal at this fabulous restaurant. Attentive staff, menu with wide variety of options, drinks menu to match. Very luxurious feel and a great place to celebrate Chicken was delightful, my son has a seafood collection whilst my mum had a creamy chicken pasta dish. Highly recommend truffle fries as an extra is a must, huge portion and delicious”

  “We came for Valentine’s Day, the atmosphere was lovely very calming. Food came luke warm and took around an hour for 2 pasta dishes and a side. Personally wouldn’t come again but was a great experience and enjoyed the food. The staff were friendly and helpful”

  “Took my wife here for our anniversary meal, and loved it. Friendly service and great food. We opted for a main pasta course each, and a pizza to share. I had the Zitoni Toscanini which was made with spiced Tuscan Sausage. My wife had the Ravioli Tartufo, a cheese based dish topped with truffle shavings. We shared a Burrata Pizza, which had vegetarian ‘nduja amongst the toppings, as well as a whole burrata in the centre. Everything was delicious. We'd been to Rome earlier in the month, and this meal was up to what we ate there. I had a large glass of Primitivo Passorano from the wine list, she had a Mocktail. We were presented with Profiteroles at the end, with an anniversary greeting written in chocolate sauce, which was a nice touch. The only let down was that we were seated by a table of four men who were getting quite drunk, rowdy, and sweary. Not something you expect in an establishment like this. We didn't let it ruin our evening though, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”
