The seasonal Spring/Summer menu is now being served at all our restaurants and many of the new dishes are already becoming stand-out favourites.
We’ve chosen three of our most popular creations which are sure to whet your appetite!
Fumo Manchester – Risotto Shellfish. One of our new ‘Piatti da Dividere’, plates to share, this special risotto is full of fresh shellfish including prawns, mussels, calamari and clams.
San Carlo Birmingham – Ossobuco with Gnocco Romano Veal Shank. A delicious new creation from our Group Executive Chef, Filippo Pagani.
San Carlo Bristol – Ravioli stuffed with Pecorino & Truffle Cream Sauce. This indulgent dish featured on our specials menu for National Vegetarian Week and, it’s so good, we’re keeping it on the menu … and it’s not just for vegetarians!
The new Spring/Summer menu is now available at all San Carlo Group restaurants nationwide.
We’ve been enjoying the lighter nights, sunshine and all the fresh ingredients that the new season brings and our chefs have been working hard in the kitchen developing menus to reflect the warmer months.
Using the finest produce flown in from the markets of Milan, delicious, light and colourful dishes bring a taste of the Italian Spring and Summer to your plate – and a burst of flavour to every mouthful.
Our experienced kitchen team have expertly matched seasonal vegetables, salads and fruits such as asparagus, green beans, peas, chicory, watercress, lemons and apricots and combined them with main ingredients from crab, mackerel and sardines to lamb and pork.
The new Spring/Summer menu will be available from 1st May – and it’s so enticing we can’t guarantee you won’t want to try everything!
