San Carlo (Spinningfields)

• Went here for an early Valentine's meal with my girlfriend who recommended it
• We did book a table which was needed as the place was full at around 8 on Thursday night which was promising
• The service was very quick
• The menu is big with loads to choose from
• I had whitebait to start which was very nice and a big portion
• Both mains I couldn't fault at all and the speed the food came put was impressive
• Especially with how busy it was
• Italian small plates as opposed to the usual starter and main format however the portion sizes were bigger than expected but we just about polished off all of the dishes
• The first dish to arrive was duck salad
• It was flavourful with pancetta and the apple balanced the dish really well with the sweetness coming through the saltiness
• The suckling pig was enjoyable although I regret leaving it too late to eat
• As it cooled the meat became a little tough but the meat was well flavoured with a hint of rosemary
• Watching the bartender preparing the drink is itself worth the money
• Hands down the best Italian I've ever enjoyed
• The service was traditional
• Loving the hype of this restaurant and the food are good even though they are not as good as the ones in London
• What I didn't like was having to wait long to be seated
• Service is efficient and the pasta is how it should be 'al dente'
• Followed by spaghetti with clams and prawns
• Last night I complained that my steak was cooked as requested
• The service was absolutely outstanding throughout the meal
• I had the seafood gnocchi which was really tasty
• Overall a great afternoon with great people and unreal service
• San Carlo (Spinningfields) offers the best Italian cuisine
• We did notice other customers were eating at the bar and we would have been happy doing the same however trying to get attention from the staff was not easy
• Eventually we were taken to a table and our order was taken
• Not ours and was slightly flustered when we told him so
• When our food did arrive it was extremely pleasant and hot
• T happy about the standard 10% service charge which was automatically added to the bill
• T the amount it was the principal
• On Monday the service was exemplary as always and the food was the best we&rsquo
• The tables are too squished together but apart from that food was amazing and enjoyed my meal here
