SAN CARLO BIRMINGHAM REVIEWS

Always a fantastic experience, the food was immense last night, its not often I walk away from a restaurant as content as I did last night. A perfect setting for our anniversary, this place never disappoints. A favourite of mine in Birmingham for sure. Made to feel welcome as always, friendly staff who were on the ball! See you soon.

Beautifully decorated. Lots of attentive staff. The food was delicious. And all this in the nicest part of the city!. The only development point is that the cocktails are relatively expensive and very small.

Some of the best food I've had in a long time. The perfect blending of ingredients, textures and flavours, wonderful.

PASTA DI PIAZZA REVIEWS

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Birmingham. Around the corner from St Paul's square, it's a bit off the beaten track and provides so much better value for money than right in the centre. Very reasonably priced with great quality food and service. It's perfect and has a lovely ambience.

Loved it! The restaurant has a unique vibe where you can go as a couple, friends, family and still find the right atmosphere for you. Food was delicious, staff was friendly and professional. Definitely would recommend.

Authentic Italian food with a beautiful ambiance and quick, excellent service. Highly recommend.

BELLA ITALIA BIRMINGHAM REVIEWS

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the creamy mushroom pasta from this place. Bella Italia serves with relatively good prices, especially if you take advantage of the set menu and the food is great. There are plenty of vegetarian options available and the atmosphere in these restaurants is nice, not too noisy despite how busy it is too. Will definitely be revisiting at some point soon.

What can I say about Bella Italia it was so busy on Saturday but to their credit the service and food was excellent. We ordered expecting a long wait but was surprised by how quick we were served. The server who looked after us was amazing and the food was brilliant, so good that we will definitely be back. Credit to the staff at Bella Italia you made us very welcome and the food was quality. Five star rating.

Lovely food, as always and a lovely refreshing cocktail too. Staff friendly and polite. Very helpful. Would highly recommend Bella italia. It's a great place to enjoy great food with great company.
