Cocktails and Cicchetti at San Carlo Bottega

San Carlo Bottega is the perfect place for aperitivi. It’s sophisticated, modern and airy with an impressive marble bar that is a siren call to anyone who loves Champagne, fine Italian wines and cocktails.

With a few plates of cicchetti to share, it’s the ultimate way to unwind.

Look out over Manchester’s historic buildings through huge floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting over olives and tapenade; beetroot carpaccio with goat’s cheese; risotto with langoustine bisque, Prosecco and gold leaf. It’s undeniably one of life’s pleasures.

Cicchetti are the way to dine in Venice. And Manchester too.

Medium-sized dishes that are bigger than a starter, but smaller than a main, and are designed for sharing, bring a sense of Italian conviviality to Bottega. There’s always a buzz and of course, this being San Carlo, every dish is of impeccable quality. Made with only the freshest seafood and the finest ingredients.

The relaxed luxury and that unbeatable San Carlo atmosphere make Bottega the perfect place to come before a gig at the Arena just a short walk away.

It’s also the ideal location for a meal when shopping in town, with designer labels in Selfridges and nearby at Harvey Nichols.
