What People Are Saying About San Carlo Italian Bistro

In Short – Inside, wrought iron grapevines and fun, over-the-top Italianate mirrors compete for attention. A well-trained staff maintains the sultry ambience, with each server dressed in black button shirts, neckties and low-slung bistro aprons. Amid the formal flair, you'll find a family-oriented menu. San Carlo is as much a pizza place as a specialty pasta emporium. Stick with the simple Italian basics.

Didn't like the old fish
by festivalcandy
I thought this was going to be a nice evening out with my husband. I was told from a friend that this restaurant had good food but my husband and I beg to differ. We both had ordered the linguine with frutti di mare, basically pasta with seafood, and it was terrible. We both thought the seafood tasted a little old and past it's freshness peak when we tasted it but decided to finish since it cost us more than we thought it was worth. Huge mistake. We both ended up sick for 2 days. I will never go back and urge anyone who goes to stay away from the seafood. : - (
- Pros: Nice atmosphere
- Cons: Bad food

Great atmosphere and awesome food
by KeithLitaliano
I really like this small little bistro. The food is always decent. Disagree with reviews where people said that the food was salty. I never noticed that during the times that I have eaten there. The menu is full of some pretty authentic Italian dishes, and everytime I've been I've tried something new. They have the best pizza in North Raleigh, hands down - try their Siclian pizza. It's got plenty of servings and is inexpensive too! Service can be slow when they are busy, but they are attentive with the drinks. The only other drawback is that if you get a lot of loud people at the bar, they kind of "take over" the whole restaurant.
- Pros: ambiance, food is authentic and fresh, excellent wine list, usually good service
- Cons: small, can be noisy, when busy the service can suffer slightly
