7 reasons you need to try the new Summer menu at San Carlo

The sun’s out and summer’s finally in the air – and to celebrate, one of Liverpool’s favourite Italian restaurants has got an amazing new menu so you can taste, as well as feel, the start of the brand-new season.

San Carlo is definitely the place to head to this summer. And here’s 7 reasons why you should say ciao to this superb city venue:

Taking its place in the heart of Castle Street

Location wise, it couldn’t be better. San Carlo’s in the heart of Castle Street which has become one of Liverpool’s most exciting destinations if fabulous food, cocktails, music, and great times are on your agenda. If you want the best atmosphere, you’ll find it here.

It’s a food institution

There’s no doubt about it, San Carlo has become something of a food institution in Liverpool as the place to go to if you’re wanting to celebrate a birthday, a special occasion – or if you simply want to go out for a meal and know it’s going to be spot on every time. San Carlo is a family-owned, award-winning Italian restaurant group where only the finest Italian fayre is on the menu.

Looking fabulous

It’s always been a scene setter but now San Carlo in Liverpool is better than ever having recently undergone a spectacular £3.5 million refurbishment. And, while it’s maintained a modern feel, it oozes opulence and relaxed sophistication to suit any vibe you’re going for. Plus, there’s a brand-new bar and a private dining room if you want to keep your celebrations a little more select.

Food at its most fab and fresh

The restaurant is renowned for its menu with everything from fabulous fish, seafood, pasta, pizza, and the most incredible meat dishes to choose from.

And the reason why it’s so good? Only the finest and freshest ingredients go into every dish served, with much of the produce being brought in from Milan to ensure a true and authentic taste of Italy.

Superb summer menu

Chefs are always looking to impress at San Carlo and the new meticulously curated and enhanced summer menu will do just that, providing you with an Italian summer-inspired experience that will transport you to the olive groves and lazy summer afternoons the country’s famous for.

Each dish is a blend of pride and passion showcasing the freshest seasonal ingredients with highlights like Lemon Sole with Clams and Asparagus (pan-fried lemon sole with sautéed clams and green asparagus) and Nodini Con Panna e Tartufo (small hand-shaped knots of mozzarella with fresh black truffle, served with crostini) guaranteed to whet – and satisfy – your appetite.

Say cheers to new cocktails

If you’re raising a glass to say well done or happy birthday, you really need something special in there – and as well as fine wines, beers and more from its well-stocked bar there’s its signature cocktails including many new for summer 2024, like the Mount n’ Stormy with a parmesan crisp on top!

Enjoy the San Carlo experience in Liverpool – and beyond

For Liverpool food lovers, the city is bound to be your favourite destination but if you want to enjoy the experience elsewhere, there are some great locations not too far away: if you’re setting out to shop, San Carlo in the Trafford Centre could be the perfect place to take five (or more) and if you’re heading off on holiday you can get a taste of the Mediterranean before you even board the plane at Manchester Airport. So it’ll be Buon Viaggio – and Buon Appetito!
