SAN CARLO, THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT UAE TRAVELLERS ARE BOOKING THIS LONDON SUMMER

As Dubai residents pack their bags for a London summer, San Carlo is quickly becoming the go-to booking for UAE travellers craving authentic Italian food, with two London locations ready to welcome them.

Tucked just steps from Harrods on Hans Road, San Carlo in Knightsbridge has been a staple part of London’s Italian dining scene for over three decades, loved for its glamorous dining room, classic menu and warm, family-run hospitality. On the edge of Mayfair, Cicchetti brings its Venetian-inspired, all-day small-plates menu to Piccadilly, with a fresh new interior that’s perfect for sharing good food and good company. Whether travellers fancy a classic, glamorous dinner or a laid-back share-plate evening, both spots sit just minutes from Knightsbridge and Mayfair’s favourite hotels and boutiques.

For the many UAE visitors who make London home for the summer, both restaurants offer something special, a dining experience that feels instantly familiar, like catching up with an old friend. In addition, both restaurants also offer private dining for those travelling with family or friends, making them a lovely choice for group bookings this summer.

Founded by the Distefano family in Birmingham back in 1992, San Carlo Group has won over food lovers across the Gulf through sister restaurants Signor Sassi and Cicchetti, with locations in Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Al Khobar and Jeddah. The same spirit, authentic Italian food, genuine hospitality and no pretence, runs through every restaurant in the group, whether it’s in London or the Gulf.
