With a nod to the popular and critical success of the family owned group’s Cicchetti restaurants in Manchester and London, San Carlo bottega will serve crafted small plate dishes, this time, influenced by Italy and Southern France.
A feature bar will offer a range of wines, champagnes, prosecco and a cocktail. All dishes will be made on the premises using only the finest seasonal ingredients.
